Department swapping for the win?

Inspired by @clarewhite who wrote about looking at parks and open spaces through different eyes and with a disclaimer that I absolutely know this can’t happen cos it’s utterly bonkers, right, but; What if we all swapped staff for a week? As in, our Communications Department upped sticks and took their rather unique combination ofRead… Read more »

Wheels still spinning

Traction. It gets talked about a lot at the moment. I feel like my wheels are spinning. But while wheels are spinning, experiences are being absorbed, other peoples words are being listened to and I am reading and thinking and dreaming. I think dreaming is important.

But; developers aren’t some special strand of humanity who don’t have anything in common with the rest of us. you can talk to them outside of unconferences andRead… Read more »

Tripped over nostalgia

Last night I went on a nostalgia trip. It involved standing in an absolutely rammed and frankly, over sold Academy 1 in Manchester watching the Levellers, supported by The Wonder Stuff, as they played the entirety of Levelling the Land end to end. Shouldn’t this be in your other blog Lou? I hear you ask.Read… Read more »

London 2012

I was 7. I spent years trying to find someone else who remembered that cartoon – every time I asked IRead… Read more »
