The Media Wonk

2009-10-07T07:24:00.000-07:00

Got sucked in to a debate about Net Neutrality and Privacy in Washington DC on Monday. I have found that by trying to solve copyright infringement behaviours on the internet, to help musicians and film makers, you land up highlighting the dichotomy between protecting content and protecting individual usage rights.....

The Independent

So Andy and I get quoted in The Independent on the digital film debate, however Tim switches our quotes round ?!? so Andy's turn of phase sounds remarkably like me.......

Crisp Thinking

2008-12-09T04:47:00.001-08:00

PA Consulting is now two months behind me - fond memories of the old place, but life has moved on. As Chief Operating Officer of Crisp Thinking, I am loving the challenge of working with Adam Hildreth and protecting children from online abusers. Wonderful team of people to work with and hugely rewarding. London to Leeds remains quite the drive!

Antarctica

2008-12-09T04:46:00.001-08:00

Well, after a manic few months of buying a new apartment in Marylebone and going for a big trek to Antarctica - photos to follow, I am finally settling back into the routine of working in London again during the week. Roll on the next big trek...

Nice

2008-12-09T04:45:00.002-08:00

Still working in London EC1, during the week, after more than a year and still no nearer understanding why people like the City. Just come back from a great week's skiing in the 3 valleys in France with the usual Moosed crew. Next stop the Caribbean in April hopefully.

EC1

2008-12-09T04:45:00.001-08:00

Back to cold Europe and now working in EC1 in the City of London for the first time in my career - not sure what to make of the pinstripe even now! Life is good, particularly when returning to Nice every weekend, but looking forward to climbing in the Cairngorms next month.

New Zealand

2008-12-09T04:44:00.001-08:00

Currently travelling around North Island in New Zealand, with two French guys (Sébastien and Manuel) after going to Lick & JP's wedding in New Plymouth on the 20th Dec. Spent much of the last few days visiting hot springs in the volcanic region and visiting the local Maori tribe as well as a couple of white water rafting exploits. The scenery is beautiful here even when it is raining. Next stop I fly from Auckland to Nelson for New Year and time travelling around South Island...

Chippenham

2008-12-09T04:43:00.001-08:00

Now back working on assignment in Chippenham after my sabbatical. The sabbatical was a much needed rest, where I managed to learn French after a two month intensive, 40 hour per week, course. Even though I am now working again in the UK, I am back at home in Nice every weekend.
