The Wardman Wire

From Noodle Pie via Twitter:

Watching crabs wriggling their last in boiling water. I know I’ll have to pay for this in another life. But they do taste good.

Noodlepie is a cookery and “bio blogger, journalist, media trainer, dietary explorer”.

Statements that would not be heard in Great Britain:

Construction work for mudroom/verandah is on slow-down for a couple of weeks. Carpenter has gone to hunt bear.

The most succinct word association for the Commentariat I have come across:

back-channel media.

A Freudian slip with more than a grain of truth.

… and they will come.

The rub is that you have to invent the bloody mousetrap first.

A thought that occurred while listening to a programme this morning about longhand letters sent by a member of Scott’s polar expedition of 1912.

Personal video is the new longhand. It is now the only form of communications that takes time to do, cannot be read without concentrating, and that we actually keep for posterity.

If you’re given the task of finding a logo for an organization, your first task should be to try to get someone else to do it. If you fail at that, find an abstract image that is clean and simple and carries very little meaning–until your brand adds that meaning. It’s not a popularity contest. Or a job for a committee. It’s not something where you should run it by a focus group. It’s just a placeholder, a label waiting to earn some meaning.

This was a quote I heard on the Radio from Orla Guerin on the South Africa - Zimbabwe border:
“These Zimbabweans have not broken any laws by entering the country illegally”

Duh …
