Dear Twitter

September 24, 2008 by Documentally · 15 Comments

Dear Twitter, I have had a great idea… I suddenly realised that over here in the UK you have no offline presence at all. No skyscraping head office, no billboards and no sponsored parks or roundabouts. How could this be? Especially with you being such an incredible international social media tour de force. This got [...]

An Ultra Sound Day

September 20, 2008 by Documentally · 51 Comments

This morning we saw our little baby for the first time. On a square screen in a darkened room we looked upon the surreal sight of a grainy monochrome child wriggling in ultrasound. Nothing has been real until this moment. Now I can safely say, We are having a baby. On entering the room, I [...]

PICNIC'08 – A meeting of creative minds.

September 4, 2008 by Documentally · 8 Comments

“From 24 to 26 September 2008, thousands of creative minds from all over the world will come together in Amsterdam for the third PICNIC. …” So how does one particular creative mind get to this kind of event on a budget?

Roberts SolarDAB Radio (Review)

August 31, 2008 by Documentally · 2 Comments

I’m back in love with radio. Although I have a radio in the car and another in the kitchen I have been re-enthused into actually listening to the good old radio over my iPod by the Roberts solarDAB. Maybe it’s the ease of use, maybe it’s the form factor, perhaps it’s just a really cool [...]

Less is more: The 12 second blog killer

August 26, 2008 by Documentally · 17 Comments

I am finding it easier and easier to just click record and speak my thoughts into some form or video blogging application. It all began with Seesmic and now in addition (especially when wanting to cross post and use multimedia) I also use Phreadz. For live streaming (in my opinion), there is still only Qik. [...]

Back on June the 25th, for the second year running myself and Dr John Perivolaris, visited George Orwell’s grave for his birthday.

Phreadz and the New Media Expo

August 7, 2008 by Documentally · 4 Comments

I was having a quiet night in on the net, flitting from one platform to another, posting a video here and a tweet there. The chatter in the networks was all about the upcoming New Media Expo in Las Vegas. Having missed out on the Boston Podcamp while on a photo assignment I felt a [...]

WordPress is five years old today! ..and although i haven’t even been using it five months I feel it only right to say not only congratulations, but also Thank You.
