    Blame it on Brussels

    One of the things I love about conferences is meeting new and interesting people. One of the other things is connecting with people I know (as I mentioned the other day). On both counts, being in Brussels over the past couple of days has been just great. Today was the second and final day of the European Communication Summit at the rather grand Résidence Palace, otherwise known as the International Press Centre. This was a big conference, big in terms…

    Heading off to Brussels for the European Communication Summit. The two-day event began today but calendar conflicts mean I can’t get there until later today. Speaking tomorrow on the final panel of the conference. On Tuesday night, I’ll be in The Hague for a client meeting on Wednesday. I’m driving there and back. It’s one of the few opportunities to simply enjoy a good drive. I have my trusty TomTom Go 710 so I’m fully confident I won’t go astray anywhere.…

    During the coming week, I’m travelling in Belgium and The Netherlands. First stop is speaking at the European Communication Summit in Brussels followed by a client meeting in The Hague. Just checking on a few things as part of my trip preparation, I looked at Vodafone’s data access costs in Belgium and The Netherlands. Get this: They’re going to charge me £10 per megabyte for accessing the web (what they call ‘non Vodafone Live pages’)! That’s the equivalent of $20…

    Marks and Spencer has a long-standing reputation for making good clothes at affordable prices. Men’s suits, for instance. I have one of their sharp Italian-design suits that I bought in 1999. I don’t wear suits that often, perhaps one reason why its still looks good and has lasted so long. Best of all, it still fits! Now M&S has a next-generation suit, what the Daily Mail has dubbed the iSuit. According to the Mail on Friday, the Marks & Spencer…
