Earlier this year, I started working with Birmingham production company 470 Media with a new project of theirs, called ‘The Hidden City’. It’s aim is to uncover and tell the stories that happen around Birmingham & the West Midlands that often get unreported by traditional media outlets. Stories of inspirational people and places, local champions, and…

Next Of Kindle
The Kindle. A tool of the modern age. So long, paper! You’re history! Ok, maybe a tad too dramatic, but suffice to say, I LOVE my Kindle. – But, it wasn’t always that way. There was a time where I (quite unjustly) thought they were useless…. ‘I don’t want to read off a screen’ I…
The Imminent Arrival Of The iPad 3
Or….whatever they end up calling it! There have been rumours of it being called the 2S in line with the current iPhone. It all depends on how much of a revamp this model of iPad has had. I must say, I’m an iPad fan; I use mine every day for many different jobs. Not only…
The Top 5 Reasons Why It’s Great Working From Home
We knew it was too good to last…. One of the mildest winters ever was had at the end of last year and beginning of this one; and I for one was very thankful for it. I’m not a fan of snow, not when there are things to do, people to see etc. When it’s…
Puss In Boots, Old Spice And Good Marketing
I stumbled across this video on YouTube the other day; a trailer for the film Puss In Boots (a spin-off from Shrek), but it’s done in a rather unusual way; it’s an homage to the now-famous Old Spice ads. You know the ones – if I say “I’m on a horse” you’ll know exactly what…
New Year – Fresh Start
Well, it’s Olympic year, the big 2012. A great year. I think mainly because it’s a nice round number, it feels ‘whole’ in a strange way. I’m a believer that the prettier the number, the better the year will be! Although it’s probably me just making it feel like that….Either way, I’m setting myself up…
The Alternative Christmas Message
Or, ‘Why It’s A Good Thing To Be Bah Humbug’ Now, this time of year our senses are assaulted by all manner of ‘festive’ atrocities, from glitter, retina-scorching flashing lights, bunting, blow-up snowmen and all manner of ‘joyous’ nonsense designed to make us feel good about ourselves. The trouble is, there is a distinct proportion…
CardMunch Your Business Cards
Yesterday, I was exhibiting all day at Solihull’s Business Growth Show. After speaking to people all day, many of whom were interested in my offerings, I ended up with a good handful of cards of people that I could easily work with in the future at any time. Now, I’m not one of these people…
A Much More Deserving Cause For Xmas Number One
If you’ve recently watched the recent series ‘The Choir – Military Wives’ with Gareth Malone, you’ll have seen he was training up a group of Army wives and girlfriends to be a choir. The series was superb, and has resulted in them creating a single. Proceeds will be going to two charities that help the…
Behind The Scenes And In The Booth Of Happy Feet Two
I stumbled across this behind the scenes video today, of all the voice actors that feature in the upcoming Happy Feet Two film. The film itself looks rather adorable, and now makes me want to see the first one and this one! Can’t believe I’ve not seen it….I’m such a fail at times. As you’ll…
