It’s Wednesday at RSNA. Went to the Sear’s Tower last night, which is the highest tower in the US. Interesting mural history of Chicago, though mysteriously nothing about the impact of Prohibition and the rise of organised crime under Al Capone. Guess that’s one best forgotten (though how about the lessons of Prohibition?). Even managed [...]
It’s Tuesday at RSNA. The deer season started today, though apparently your not allowed to kill deer within ‘city limits’. They even had a couple of TV minutes on the start of the seaon, with deer running around the city no doubt trying to escape the start of the hunt. Greg, the guy helping set [...]
Medicexchange USA is live with the cool new design – RSNA here we come. I was hoping for a lead story on Medicare cuts and the impact on imaging services, but so far no luck with a comment from Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi’s office. Download the neat looking free Medicexchange screensaver here (be warned its a [...]
This is the last in the series of podcasts from Gilles Peterson in Brazil, thanks to Brahma beer, on the sound of electronica! (That’s Gilles on the right wearing a medal..)

The Cluetrain Mainfesto which has inspired social software, has also inspired me. I have found the concept of markets as conversations useful, though it’s also difficult to put into practice with business models which aren’t based on this premise. So seeing how to move from a traditional e-commerce and support model to one on a Cluetrain premise will be interesting. My guess is that this should with strategic nudges happen gradually on its own accord (‘by accident’) but I could be wrong..
The fifth in the series is on hip hop – enjoy (and thanks again to Brahma).
Just received a letter from our MP Margaret Hodge concerning a series of arson attacks on The Clarksons estate. I am suprised the authorities don’t just do something clever like figure out who’s doing it. I’ll help (after all I once burned my leg and had to go to hospital, and my birthday’s on Bonfire [...]
Shirley rang her handbag supplier in Brazil and wanted some action. But nothing happening – it’s a bank holiday (15 November, Republic Day I think). The people at the handbag place were very sweet apparently, and let her off for forgetting now she’s in London.
