Are you one of the “people of the internet”?
The Beeb might not take paid advertising, but they do promote themselves. Good on ‘em!

By Iain WhiteMarch 3rd, 2010
In a week’s time, Tom Peters, coauthor of “The Pursuit of Excellence” and urber-guru of Management Consulting is releasing a new book … The Little BIG Things. In it is outlines 163 ways to pursue excellence.
Here’s one of them.
Tom is great about making the complex simple, and the simple vital. Guess that is what a little BIG thing is.

Find Your Great Work
By Iain WhiteFebruary 23rd, 2010
Yesterday we shared Michael Bungay Steiner of www.boxofcrayons.biz video “The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun”.
Today another from Michael, entitled “Find Your Great Work”.
Its full of great quotes, two that go together very well are:
“If everyone’s happy, then you’re not doing great work” and “To fly we have to have resistance”.
Lots more goodies inside.
The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun
By Iain WhiteFebruary 22nd, 2010
I love this quote from the Eight Irresistible Principles:
“When all is said and done, more is said than done”.
How true!
This has very little to do directly with communications, marketing or business. Just life, joy, fun. The other important stuff.
Hope you enjoy. Hope you are having fun.
Augmented Reality Meets iPhone and Helicopter
By Iain WhiteFebruary 19th, 2010
Interesting little video of where video games step off off the computer screen and meet “real life”.
In this case the iPhone controls a helicopter using Augmented (aka Hyper) Reality.
Have seen lots of remote controlled helicopters in Bangkok, but nothing like this, yet.
