Striking gold - yesterday's Happiness Experiment entry

Winning the second ever RTS (Royal Television Society) Innovation Award with Big Art Mob - there were only 6 and one went to Flash Video (as in the whole web video technology by Adobe) - enjoyed the experience with the whole team from all the small partners and my other half



Winning the London Design Festival (Y design) People's Choice Award with Empire's Children - two in a day, that was special



Starting an Agatha Christie - 4.50 from Paddington (in a beautiful facsimile 50s edition) - on the day the queen reopened St Pancras - I do love stations

A river runs through it - yesterday's Happiness Experiment entry




Having a meeting at the Design Museum overlooking the river - talking about the South Bank and Bankside Cultural Quarter and how it manifests itself in cyberspace



Chatting to Pat Kane (The Play Ethic and Hue & Cry) about punk, play and other things beginning with P



Chatting to George Auckland of the BBC class of '69 - which inspired my using the example of Joe Boyd's psychedelic UFO Club as an example of why radical creative scenes don't need official support to blossom (although cheap premises help)

Living well - yesterday's Happiness Experiment entry




Van singing Baby Please Don't Go at the Roundhouse - shared with U



A helter-skelter chat with John Thackara with his delightful 'Dutch' accent - about everything from growing veg to public art to Alzheimers.



A lively chat with U and Neil Burgess in Marine Ices, Chalk Farm about life, love and the universe, and shrooms and music and living well in the present.
