Show time

Show time is around 8pm and tickets on the door will be (I think) a fiver. Would be fun to see you there.

Enough lectures, already

I really liked Jeff Jarvis’s latest unpicking society’s addiction to the lecture format. I’ve blogged before my frustration with rooms of smart people listening politely to long winded keynotes and
