There was a time when the term geek was seen as derogatory and was certainly not meant as a compliment. It was usually applied to people who demonstrated few social skills, regardless of their level of intelligence, or those who were enthusiastic about a particular subject — typically related to science and technology.

I am writing from the broom cupboard this week as the lurgy has hit the office, and I don’t want the others to share it with me!
During the last three months I have been progressively keeping track of the media coverage we have achieved for Strive clients.

I know of Richard because, as he said in his post, he is often called upon for comment about Isle of Man [...]

There is the dawn of a new era in the Isle of Man. It is the dawn of the Quad-Core processor from Intel.

I am really starting to get in the mood for Christmas with the first frost, darker mornings and drives home and a distinctively Christmas theme to last week’s projects.
A lot of my week involved researching and writing about online Christmas shopping, a subject I really enjoyed looking into… Well I have had more than a [...]

Susan at Marcom Maven asks, “Come on, no four-year-old says they want to be a marketer when they grow up… How’d you fall into this profession?”
I was a 26 year old single mother drifting from one low-paid job to another. Retail and restaurant work featured large. I knew things had to change so I [...]

1. Anonymous comments: Should they be allowed? by Steve Crescenzo a post inspired by Chris Anderson’s recent revelations. Some interesting views also expressed by Mike Driehorst and Roger D’Aprix. I know which points I agree with, but what about you?

I try not to write about Google all the time, I really do.
There is so much news coming out of the company that I could write a Google column every week if I wanted to. But the whole world covers Google and I try to avoid writing about them so that I can offer something [...]

Another top 5 from me, apologies in advance for Number 5. Bit of a rant. I could have gone on forever but you’ll be glad to know that I didn’t…
1. A discussion I’ve been following for a while and, in the words of Neil Maclean, what a cat fight it’s becoming. It’s brilliant! I agree [...]

Remember those first mobile phones back in the 80s? How cool we all thought we were walking around with handsets the size of bricks, only heavier. I love the tiny little mobile that I have now - it fits in the palm of my hand.
Whenever I have to run between Terminal 2 and Terminal [...]

Susan Getgood tagged me with the snack time meme that’s making the rounds. Jeremiah Owyang challenged us last week to describe how we respect ‘media snackers’.
Respect them? I am one! Despite the obvious fact that I don’t fit the age profile, I have definitely become prone to snack attacks over the past couple [...]
