    IABC award: recognizing the recognizers

    Sometimes, if something good happens to you that other people publicly talk about a lot, you really have little option but to talk about it a bit yourself as well, if only to acknowledge that others are saying things.

Plus answers to questions from Cameron Reilly (42) and Karin Hoegh. We’d planned to chat over Skype but some ‘Scottish gremlins’ interfered with that plan so we ended up doing it via a normal landline. Still, it’s…

    Yesterday was the day of Twestival, the global event designed to raise awareness of and financially support the charitable work of charity:water. Local twestivals took place in around 200 cities worldwide. I took part, too, at my local twestival: Reading Twestival, held in the La Tasca restaurant in the town centre. No visual records of the Reading event so far that I’ve been able to find. I’m sure those who took photos will upload them so keep an eye on…
