Sometimes A Tweet Holds A Huge Truth

It’s interesting what tweets catch the re-tweet (RT) wave and start a snowball effect of people passing it around. I’m watching one of mine go through that just now, and it covers so much ground in a tweet that is admittedly much shorter than the 140 character limit.
It covers sports reporting, politics, nationalism, cynicism, humour [...]

Pavlovian Formula 1 and Hollywood Monsters

9am on a Sunday and the bass-line of The Chain wakes every F1 fan up and drags them into the spare room to watch the Malaysian Grand Prix (thanks to Scooby Doo commandeering the main TV in the house), and had a wonderful thought.
The cgi-based graphics running during the BBC theme are far in advanced [...]

The Stig Plays The Chain

Doesn’t matter about the rest of the coverage, it could come from a shed in Brisbane with a batty old commentator and a marijuana fuelled ex-driver refusing to pick up the microphone; the British F1 fans will be resting easy after the first 65 seconds of the BBC coverage…

Hearts Are Not Breaking All Over The UK, It’s The Chain

As I just tweeted…
@MikeChannell YES the BBC really did need to confirm they were using The Chain! Otherwise I Would Have Predicted a Riot

When You Reach For Perfection, You Tend To Miss…

…or to phrase the popular question, one of these things is both the same. Discuss.

My First Baseball Game

And I think I can sum this up in a You Tube video…

I’ll Stop My Startwatch at the European Grand Prix

Classic tricks of the Formula One fan in the UK include muting their television through the current ITV commentary, and tune in to BBC Radio 5 Live to listen to Maurice Hamilton and the team provide something a bit more incisive. Now, for the European Grand Prix on July 22, there’s an added bonus.

Monaco Grand Prix Circuit Walk

So the plan for today was pretty simple. Do some writing and stuff in the morning, in the evening head out to Mobile Monday at Monaco (and in the process catch up with everyone here to cover the Global Messaging 2007 event on Tue/Wed), and in the afternoon do a bit of sight-seeing. For sight-seeing [...]

Off to Monaco For The Week

Yes the life of a jet-setting blogger and podcaster continues, as I prepare to cover the Global Messaging Conference for Corante in Monte Carlo. The usual events are building up, including a Monaco Mobile Monday, which I should be attending, and the usual industry events, but just decked out with a touch more glamour.
I finally [...]
