Interview with Srivinas Rao from BlogcastFM.com
Srinivas interviewed me a couple of weeks ago for his website, BlogcastFM.com. In that interview (which was a lot of fun) he mentioned that he’s always the one interviewing and never the star of the show. So of course I offered to turn the tables and interview him back. We did this interview a week…
Review: Acing Tough Talks
It’s Review Thursday and once more it’s time for me to give you an in-depth review of a product I’ve tried. Often I’m given review copies, but in this case I bought the product. If you buy it through the link below, I will be paid a bit of money. photo credit: skedonk Acing Tough…
Smart phone saviours
Hooray for Guest Post Wednesday and new guest poster Ben! photo credit: Steve Keys I have a bugbear. Something that pricks me and annoys me. Irritates me. Like someone scratching a blackboard.

A story in pictures. Me, two minutes before the second consulting session of the day: Me, during the call: And me, after the call: Magical! Do you have work that can take you from semi-comatose to fully-charged in seconds? Tell me in the comments! P.S. If the name for this post comes up as Beware,…
Do something obvious
You know how there are things we all know we should do (floss, change the engine oil, leave comments) but we don’t actually do them? Go and do one of those today. Then tell us about it in the comments!
How to pay a week’s rent in one day
Get some cocoa, it’s Story Time. Followed by Analysis Time. Hurrah! photo credit: timparkinson So on Wednesday I was hanging out on Twitter (as I do) when Naomi Niles said, “Coming up with a tagline makes my brain hurt. Omg.” Straight away both Chris Anthony (who I keep on mentioning because our brains have fallen…
Review: Tweetymail
photo credit: Glenn Batuyong The Problem: Twitter Rations I loves me some Twitter, I do. But herein lies a problem: I’m finding that having Twitter open while grinding away at the day job isn’t really viable. Y’all are just too distracting. The conversation is bad enough, but then there’s the fascinating links you fine people…
