Marking five years as a podcaster

Today, January 3, 2010, is rather a special day for Shel Holz and I as it marks the fifth anniversary of For Immediate Release: The Hobson and Holtz Report, the podcast we both started on January 3, 2005. To me, that day five years ago often feels like it was only yesterday. Yet so much [...]

Spending most of a week in Sin City

A bit of a dramatic headline, perhaps, but Sin City aka Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, is where I’m headed on Sunday morning on a  Virgin Atlantic flight where I’ll be for most of next week, back here in the UK on Thursday morning. It’s been a few years since I was last in Vegas. Each [...]

Joining WeissComm Group

[Update Oct 2: If you see the comments to this post, you will see so many messages with warm wishes. It’s almost overwhelming. See the end of this post for my audio response to everyone.] Big decisions sometimes don’t require a great deal of time to make. That’s certainly the case in a decision I [...]

Email on the go via Google Apps

Making connections at WordCamp UK 2009

It’s a bit blurry but there’s no mistaking the youthful Matt Mullenweg pictured at WordCamp UK in Cardiff yesterday.

Twitter connections in real life at TweetCamp

I’m going to be at TweetCamp London 09 in Richmond tomorrow, June 27. In common with quite a few others, I want to see what an unconference that focuses on the cross-over of relationships developed primarily on Twitter into the real world is like, what I’ll learn and what I can provide for others who [...]

With the IABC Chairman’s Award 2009

I’ve been in two minds all week about whether to post this photo here or not. It seemed too much like own-horn tooting or trumpet-blowing. But today I thought, what the heck, it’s a milestone event, let’s just get it up there! So here it is – yours truly last Sunday evening June 7 with [...]

At the IABC World Conference

On Saturday morning, I’ll be on a plane from London Heathrow to San Francisco to take part in the 2009 IABC World Conference. The prime reason I’m going is because I’m receiving the 2009 Chairman’s Award on Sunday evening, a singular honour for an IABC member which, frankly, I’m thrilled to be getting. You can [...]
