« Previous EntriesIt is not the Apple Tablet, it is the Store
Monday, January 11th, 2010The recent escalation of rumours surrounding the so-called Apple Tablet / Slate / Big iPhone / xxx (where xxx is a super cool Apple-ish name) seem to focus on the hardware. The gadgetry. The hardware specs.
I am a little over gadgetry. Every week there is a new phone, device or somesuch that junks the old technology. […]
Working for the Underdog
Saturday, May 30th, 2009Photo by TCM Hitchhiker/Jason Jerde
The following is the personal opinion of myself and is not a formal statement nor position of my employer
Firstly, think about newspapers. They existed from the 17th century until the first decade of the 21st century on advertising. Using the money received from advertising, they funded content created by journalists and […]
Social Media. The Opera is dying, All Hail the Circus
Thursday, May 28th, 2009Photo by bootload/Peter Renshaw
The Opera. Stages filled with ladies singing in a gruff germanic or romantic language, and men prancing around in colourful soldierly uniform. Stories so simple yet obscured by language; thankfully the Playbill™ details the plot. Plots of love lost and family betrayal, have remained unchanged in some instances for centuries. The audience […]
Reading: Shell Global Scenarios to 2025
Thursday, May 28th, 2009 Loaned to me from a strategic thinking friend, Shell Global Scenarios is a hefty, yet easy to read analysis of really big (mega-) trends over the 15 year time horizon.
There is lots to think about; their three forces (market incentives, community, coercion/regulation) and how there are “two wins, one loss” out of […]
The Future
Saturday, February 28th, 2009I first met Stephen Elop during Macromedia/Adobe integration talks and subsequently in Punta Mita, Mexico. He is one smart cookie for a Canadian.
Now here is at Microsoft leading the business software side. Watch this video to get a glimpse of the future of technology in our lives. The key theme I can see is the […]
We need to Save the Analog Refugees
Thursday, July 17th, 2008Marc Prensky invented the concept of Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants, now used by all and sundry to describe generational change.
I would like to extend this into a concept of Analog Refugees.
These are people who have been forced to leave their Analog world and forced into the digital realm.
The Long Tail Fail. It’s All Just Social?
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008In the Wall Street Journal today there is an article on recent consumer research which shows that the world is not changing it’s tail.
“The Long Tail” posits that all products are equal on the Internet. A statement with which I agree: at the beginning all ideas, products are equal.
The research, from Professior Anita Elberse, states that […]
Online, Decentralised, Organic

Online, decentralised, Organic. Three new words that I am finding ringing true.
PR">The Role of New PR
Monday, June 2nd, 2008Last week I presented at the Victorian Branch of the IABC (International Association of Business Communicators). Thanks to Dr Jennifer Frahm for inviting me, sight unseen, to speak. Onstage after Ross Monaghan from Deakin University and The Media Pod was a tough gig. Therefore, it was time to flip the controversial switch.
A premise that I […]
