Wishful Linking Linking…

Mark McGuinness’ new project is a must for anyone working in the creative sector.

I’ll let him explain:

I’ve just created a new blog, Wishful Linking, to share links that may be useful and/or interesting to you as a creative professional. So if you’d like me to send you links to web pages about creativity, creative careers, managing creativity, intellectual property, creative industries, blogging, marketing, time management etc, then sign up for the RSS feed now.

If you don’t know him, he’s the guru when it comes to stuff like this. Get reading!

And so the tail lengthens.

Dubber tweeting on synthesisers.

What we need now is a business which watches you repairing something live and then identifies and dispatches the parts you need as they diagnose the problem.  Free service – income from parts. That would allow amateurs to do the live watching and diagnosis and take an affiliates cut from the parts sales.  Trust would be established through rating the quality of  the diagnosis.

Angry Journalist #1748:

Journalist 1573, you are never too old to get another job. I got hired on to my present newspaper last May at the age of 74. I’ve got a heart transplant, suffer from gout, and am losing my hearing. I never shot video in my life, but now shoot it on almost every assignment.

At the end of 2007 we got word down from the ivory tower: We were the second most improved non-daily newspaper (We publish Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) in their international organization. Yeah, we have a web site, too, and post to that every day.

I have health, vision, and dental insurance; get paid holidays and time and a half for overtime; get paid sick leave, and make more money in one week than I made in a month at my previous newspaper.

Can’t you feel how angry this old fart is?
