Yacco Blogs

Nice to see that Yacco, Poke’s new creative director, has started blogging. It’s early days, but I’m sure there’s going to be some nice things on there…
I made a NetVibes tab that contains all of the Poke bloggers in one place. It’s quite a nice thing to do – I would share it with the [...]

I’m In New York

And it looks a little something like this…

I’m going to Flickr my photos when I get back, but I couldn’t resisit posting this one. I shall call it simply ‘Irony’.

IMified

Now this sounds good – IMified!
I like Instant Messenger. I like the fact that IM clients are lightweight applications that can be accessed anywhere (as long as I’ve got mobile or web access). And the promise of opening up applications so that I can read and write to them via IM is cool.
So I [...]

This Makes Me So Happy

Over at Pink Air Jeffre talks about the ‘kick off’ meeting. The dreaded meeting after the business has been won. The thrill of the chase has gone. The hunt is over. And the carcuss is rotting before your eyes…
In his account of the first meeting and the clients tearing apart his pitch there’s a client [...]
