Hi,

Just bought an iMac 24 and it has opened up a whole new world for me (get a life Barry!) Saw Andrew Baron’s video at Portable Media Expo and thought it interesting. I liked the customer focus. “Everyone get back! I think he’s trying to focus!”

Then saw Joanne Colan’s waltz in the Park. Delightful! Watched her interview with webpronews and thought how delightful she was too. Great smile, intelligent, sensitive and good energy.

Co-incidentally I was approached today by some Parliamentary Company in the UK to participate in a blog on training. Only 6 companies chosen. Sounds great but it will cost me nearly £2k - that’s what my Apple iMac cost with all the bells and whistles.

And up until tonight I have never watched a podcast so this is all new but also scarily co-incidental. A bit like the Celestine Prophecy. Where will it all lead to, I wonder?

Shall I take the red pill or the blue pill in the Matrix? How do I make a podcast and what is a blog? Don’t answer I’ll look it up.

A new life at 64! The iMac was a birthday present to myself. I’ve always wanted an Apple but ‘duty’ prevailed and I lumbered myself with a corporate, work based Microsoft all those years! Just bought a second hand laser dinghy too. Whe-e-e! I’m young again!

Podcasting, vlogging, and other incarnations of the new e-business world cannot focus on the way things have been done since mass communication began - which is focus on general content for the lowest common denominator, controlled by advertisers.
