In the run-up to B.Tween I was interviewed by Channel 4 for its 4Talent site. Here's the resulting article: http://www.channel4.com/4talent/feature.jsp?id=4127
I'm at the b.tween conference in rainy rainy Bradford. Terrific to find Alex Mayhew here and see that he is still creating sophisticated, avant-garde, beautiful work. I was looking forward to listening to Peter Cowley of Endemol today (I used to work with him when he was at Freeserve) but rain has stopped him getting here. Pretty sure we will get a glimpse of what David Bausola is up to at Imagination, which I suspect will be very interesting. Check out Where Are The Joneses?
My contribution here has been more stoopid Golf on the Moon stuff. Have still not found a way to explain this project in a way that might garner something more than blank indifference and/or polite chuckling. I think I might have to admit that this is a story that isn't really working.
On the other hand, we *did* play a bi of golf in the main conference space so now have our third moon golf hole. Huzzah!
Can’t quite believe
that there are climate change nay-sayers out there who seriously believe that
evidence of warming on Mars proves that warming on Earth is not man-made. Happily, the
blogosphere has been responding with obvious but necessary rebuttals such
as this. Perhaps this is the way media consumption works now: newspapers and Tv grab our attention and manipulate our emotions, but we have to go online to individual trusted voices in order to get at the facts .
I've just started playing with Twitter. Could be extremely useful for initiating/tracking the astronaut training programme. Can't help feeling I'll also use it for badminton-related celeb spotting. We'll see...
Here's my badge anyway:
OK, so I've finally setup a basic myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/golfonthemoon, chiefly so I can keep tabs on a few bands I'm interested in. All suggestions welcome as to what the hell someone like me might actually use myspace for are welcome.
