I have a meeting in town later, after which I think I’m going to mosey over to an event called ‘Geektails‘. Yes, Geektails. It’s described by the organisers as...
“After-work drinks in central London each month, for those who love Internet Start-ups to meet and share ideas socially. Open to internet entrepreneurs, CEOs, developers, VCs, angel investors... [...]
The last time I went to a GP was in 1999. I was at university and I’d been troubled by a series of irritating heart palpitations which I put down to - well - I couldn’t give a fuck what they were down to, to be quite honest. I was 19 so they were hardly [...]
This depresses me.
So much to do, so little time.
...go halves with me on Bradford & Bingley? I call dibbs on Bingley.
Seriously, though, I vist the US for less than a month and their entire financial system collapses. Then, no sooner do I get back to the UK than... well. I swear I didn’t touch anything.
It’s times like this that I wish I were [...]
“So, are you ever going to blog again?”
“I know, I know. I’ve just been fucking manically doing things for the last couple of weeks, you know? Two weeks, three states, and about four hundred blog posts worth of bizarre adventures. I mean, that twat in the hat would make five on his own.”
“The twat?”
“In the [...]
I’ve been up to so much for the past week or so that if I tried to cram it into a single post, it would read like an extra verse of We Didn’t Start The Fire.
I’m back from the US next week and I’ll tell you all about it then. I promise. Meantime, fortunately other [...]
...why is Joss Whedon here? And why is he hanging out with Jackie?
And... wait...
Ashton Kutcher?
Star fucker.
“Tc50. - note: gazaro kicked out of demo pit contention for unethical chip manipulation. Please be good everyone. No gaming” - Jason Calacanis on Twitter
Yeah - so Gazaro got kicked out of the Techcrunch 50 Demo Pit for bribing people to give them voting chips. I worry that Rob and I may have [...]
Greetings from San Francisco - and apologies for lax blogging (SFO blogging?). I’ve been busy, you see - attending conferences, upstaging Symantec parties with Eris, emptying minibars, causing trouble - that kind of thing.
Will blog about it all as soon as a) I get five minutes and b) the wireless at TC50 becomes anything less [...]
Apparently there’s some pitch event or other going on in San Francisco this week.
I’m not really sure of the details but, whoever the organisers are, they might at least have checked first to ensure it didn’t clash with....
Smack My Pitch Up: the tech event when terrible ideas are not just expected, but rewarded.

Further to this morning’s Creature Comforts sex mash-up, I’m delighted to announce my brand new start-up...

Launch party date tbc.
(Can you tell I’m deadline displacing today?)
About an hour ago, Adam Gee, New Media Commissioner at Channel 4, Twittered about the Channels’ new site, Sexperience. It launches tomorrow and sounds rather interesting.
But now, go to the site and watch the video on the front page. Then you’ll realise why I couldn’t resist wasting forty five minutes making this...

Talk to a random sample of journalists and they’ll tell you the same thing - no one commissions investigative journalism any more.
Talk to any editor and they’ll tell you why; it costs a fortune to produce and rarely adds anything in terms of circulation or bottom line.
In an era of plummeting circulation and competition from [...]
