During Twitter’s #blogchat today, Mack Collier dropped the following idea in:
There’s a good post for someone, a post on what IS a good comment & where the ’spam’ line is & how to cross it in comments #blogchat
Given I’m the sort that keeps this sort of idea floating around in my head for just such [...]

I’m attending TED@PalmSprings for the next few days. I believe it will be quite the adventure – inspiring, exciting, mind-blowing. I’ve already had the privilege of running into a few interesting people, purely by chance and the power of Twitter.
Having Dinner with Chel, Bristol, Matt and Andy was a great deal of serendipitous fun.
I’ll be [...]

A lot to live up to

January 22, 2009

in asides

It’s both humbling and a little terrifying that I’ve been ranked so highly in the Australian Marketing Pioneer Blogs list. The company I’m in is a group I highly respect and being included both makes me feel I have a lot of expectation to live up to and that I need to try harder.

Zemanta for your blog

December 21, 2008

in asides

Today, I’ve been playing with Zemanta on some of my old posts here at acidlabs.

The Hamster Wheel

September 11, 2008

in posts

It seems the pointless hamster wheel of journalists vs. bloggers is spinning up again along with the Large Hadron Collider. This one though, is more likely to produce a black hole than the LHC as the two camps disappear up their own collective orifices. Why, oh why, I ask, do the “professional journalists” in their [...]

Blogging is hard work. We all know that. And not all of us have a job that lets us blog as a part of our work (even me, sometimes). To blog successfully (for a broad definition of success) you need to read and comment on other blogs, keep up with happenings in [...]

How I Find Blogging Ideas

November 19, 2007

in posts

Like a lot of bloggers I know, my head is full of ideas that I never get around to committing to words. There are a number of reasons for this – work-life balance, client requirements, yada yada. Frankly though, it’s not actually that hard to blog pretty regularly. Not every post needs to [...]
