Turnaround Time
It’s time this blog went in another direction. From now on it will be New Media Art - and the sooner I can fix the header image the better.
The blog has addressed many convergence issues - new types of content, new ways of making audio-visual content, and of displaying it, but that’s run its course.

Upload Sites Get a Reality Dose
The difficulty for those of us commenting on the future of entertainment has been that YouTube moment. Not just the 1.6 billion dollars but the very fact of a one year old company growing so fast, becoming so popular and winning loyal adherents in generation fickle. There are VCs slavering across the globe right now […]
My Diet Friends Pulls the Odd Surprise
I was unable to get to the recent Barcamp in Waterford where I would have talked about a surprising finding we have with Mydietfriends.com. Mydietfriends was set up as a user-generated content site for people who want to talk about eating well. As this is the era of user content it seemed like a no-brainer. […]

He blogged recently about the Oscar project - an attempt to extend open source principles to the car.

Where the Emotional Action Is
The success of tech blogs leaves me wondering if the brightest minds out there are focused on the wrong target.

IT@Cork
Just heard Marc Canter of broadband mechanics talking here at @IT@Cork which is a bit of deja vu because I heard him in Amsterdam a couple of months back. Marc’s a big advocate of blogging as a corporate marketing vehicle and of People’s Markets.
