Dear Hilary, As a comedy blog, I think you’ve  got a lot going for you. Big persona – bit Colonel Merryweather/silver surfer, bit Yorkshire [is there a local A1 café you pop into? Or an RAF station?], bit faded design as in retired male putting web page together. Using the medium to the full -   lots of Web 2.0 apps – I quite ...

As more of us get 'hooked up' and start settling into our digital communications lifestyle, more people I know are going through a learning curve that for many of us we went through nearly 10 years ago.

Well, I had a great time at MIX08. The session I thought went really well, and the feedback from people who were there was really good.

Am I one of the rare breed of eBay virgins who has resisted the allure of this auction site for over a decade?  If so, the clan is one man less as I was deflowered this weekend after years of resistance.  I finally succumbed to the charm of eBay as a seller tempted me with a delicious and extremely rare compilation CD (limited to ...
