Joseph on Nov 3rd 2009
Not my idea but a great one all the same: Official Spring Racing Carnival Tramp Bingo Scorecard Download and play, without that messy complicated gambling biz. Good luck
Social Media, what does it mean to you?
Joseph on Jul 7th 2009
A Social Media Consultant, a PR consultant, two agency specialists and a client walk into a bar….. Sounds like an 50′s style joke doesn’t it? At Social Media Club Sydney two a few weeks ago (I know, I am soooo slack! I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now) the talk was [...]
Style over substance
Joseph on May 17th 2009
Let’s cut to the chase! Who is advising restaurants, bars and clubs that what their visitors want is a Flash(tm) animated brochure? When I look up a bar, restaurant or club / music venue, I’m usually after a few basic slices of information, like where it is located, what the food is like or what’s [...]
It’s the little things
Joseph on Dec 4th 2008
I can’t find the quote right now but I remember a Charles Bukowski story, I may have mentioned it here before, but it’s the little things that drive people crazy, make them mad beyond the scope of the little thing. There’s no reason your broken shoelace drives you crazy but it does. Listen to people [...]
Obama, Palin and the twitterverse
Joseph on Nov 8th 2008
Now that the dust has settled on the US election, with a clear and confident victory for Barak Obama and IMHO the US people in general, I thought I’d take a little look at my personal experience of election day, which, if you know me you’d be aware, was conducted entirely online. Even today I [...]
IKEA and MSI and getting your customer right
Joseph on Oct 29th 2008
I love IKEA! That’s a big thing to say after blogging nothing for a few months. In particular since it has nothing to do with the www, at least at first glance. But it does, in a way, because, in my mind, almost everything has to do with the internet. It does have to do [...]
Freedom and dependence
Joseph on Jun 30th 2008
What I want when I want it and all for free or with transparent pricing. We have not had a television in the house since about 2002, partly as it was a TV I acquired from a flat I moved into in 1991 (!) and it was a bit tired, partly because reception got a [...]
internet, outer space, open source and the new open space
Joseph on May 27th 2008
I Read an interview with Mark Shuttleworth, a personal hero of mine, in The Guardian last night. A fascinating story of how he wants technology to help people, but not in that overbearing, paternalistic sense but in a more fraternal, assistive way. Having done some very interesting things, like spending $20 million on a trip [...]
What’s in a standard
Joseph on May 19th 2008
As mentioned earlier, I run the Web Standards Meetup London and really get a kick out of talking the semantics of web-page creation with the excellent people who come to these meetings. I like combining the ease of a digital meet-space like meetup or facebook or LinkedIn with the pleasure of actively listening or truly [...]
Standardistas Unite!
Joseph on May 7th 2008
Carrying on from my theme about using the online world to support rather than supplant the physical world, I thought I’d tell you about these monthly meetings I have been holding since late 2007, in London. Called the Web Standards Meetup London, they aim to allow practitioners to discuss problems and successes with implementing web [...]
