• I Want My Money Back
  Following my blog post about their cancelled Google Video thing, Google now gives full credit card refunds. It was my blog that did it. Mine, d’you hear?

• The Satellite Radio Threat
  Lots of sanctimonious twaddle with SENTENCES IN BOLD from the globally-challenged Mark Ramsey. I think he thinks he’s being frightening. He might be interested in the UK’s recent RAJAR multi-platform figures, which show… oh, no, silly me.

• Done!
  How to take decisions. Hmm. Can I think of a corporation that might find this useful? Hmm. Let me think… Better not put them in the tag, otherwise it’ll be really obvious. (Hat tip: Nick Piggott)

• Français? Prouvez-le!
  Cool. My photograph gets used in the website for the French newspaper Libération. I’m quite proud of that.

• Cheap media, cheap ads
  One day, Seth Godin will stop speaking sense. Until that time, here’s another brilliant post… about crapulent radio ads. (I *am* a fan of the word ‘crapulent’).

• What Does Your Email Signature Say About You?
  I conform to the (old-fashioned) “a sig should be four lines or less”. I do in my new job (there’s no guidelines on sigs); I did in my old job (I helped write the guidelines). And don’t put your email address in your sig, stupid. (Hat-tip: Lifehacker)

  Where I went over the weekend. Quite pleased with this photo montage. Quite enjoyable finding the street signs, too.
