Loomio

So I have been getting a bit of flack from people about my no-email post from earlier in the week. I want to explain my position in a little more detail. Tools I work with other people with are: loomio - for open collaborative decision making. Around forty of us make decisions in an open and transparent online environment. Trello / Asana / Basecamp This again is an open and transparent working environment where we can all share files, updates and ideas. In a deliciously short amount of time

Natalie Bennett: Daring Greatly and always in #Beta

Natalie Bennett dived on Radio yesterday so of course she can't be Prime Minister. Off with her head! She is meant to be shaping up to pitch to run the country, changing society and challenging the status quo. She can't even speak.The guy interviewing her LOVED it, his perverse radio glee was so ripe I thought I was listening to Jimmy Savile being given the keys to Great Ormond Street Hospital and asked to lock up for the night.As I paced up and down outside Senate House near Russell Square list

A day in the life of Bernie

Of course this would be much more interesting for you to read if I was mud wrestling with Hilary Clinton or had just released a new tune with Bruno Mars. My life is pretty mundane so the last thing you need to do is think I am showing off in this blog post. I enjoy the conversations I have with people about how to get things done or rather overcoming fear, pissing about and procrastinating. That is the grade of 'getting things done' that I mean - I'd hate for you to be intimidated by me mislead

I think reading is the best gift you can give a child

Every since I met #Babybernie I have been thinking what is the best gift I could give him, what is the one thing that would connect to everything else? The one thing I come up with is reading, being able to read a book a week - so in 10 years he would have read 3,650 books - even if half of them are shit he is still doing well, I think you learn from shit books too. When I was little I could not stop reading, when I was 10 I read nearly every Enid Blyton book in two years, Magic Far Away Tree,

Ctr Alt Del. So while I was in Argentina....

SO I have been walking around all day thinking about what to blog about. We are back from four weeks in Argentina and everything shifted for the better. Just before we went I was at the end of my emotional string, not in a bad way - more like "Post Post Traumatic Stress." The end of 2014 was so much better than the beginning in my head - I just needed to get to Argentina and not kill anyone on the way there and I'd be done. I had planned it like this: 1.

No Complaint Diet

Introduce negative people to each other and then run away. Last year I was having breakfast in the kitchen at 90 Mainyard with Tori and started a sentence "Look I know this is a bit cruel and negative but I have to say that xxxx" She stopped me and asked well if it is like that why would you say it. I did stop and thought bloody hell, I do that A LOT. (Even though I don't think I do.) It is as bad as when people say "Look, I have got nothing against {insert ethnic, sexual orientation, religion

My Berlin Airlift

One thing that has already happened with 'blogging everyday' rather than just 'writing everyday' is the 'getting started bit' - I thought it might start with a title, I have read soooooo many pages that say you need to start with a title. For me, at this moment in time it starts wherever it starts - because starting is half done. I have been walking around for about 30 minutes now getting ready to start. I am saying that out loud because for me stupid things always become even more stupid and t

TEDx and Music

So there we were half way through TEDx and it was all going well, then Marisa pops on stage and starts talking about music.  I have recently been on a mission after discovering musomap via twitter, We needed something to pull together a section of Global Sharing Day and this was it. Funny what shows up when you need it. So Tessa Marchington sails on about how can connect with music and share music, then she mentions the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra which is conducted by Daniel Barenboim an Ar

#TAGtribe Blog - Thank you Howard Mayes

Today we are inspired to offer a few words for our friend and TAGtribe member Howard Mayes. We have just got back from saying goodbye to Howard, over 300 people attended Howard's funeral, many had travelled from across the UK and postponed meetings and made time to pay their respects to this remarkable man.  Howard suddenly passed away over the Christmas period. The inspiration for this blog comes from the amount of poignant comments people have made on line and in person, e

Why Magnetic Headlines Are Crucial for Your Posts Welcome to Rainmaker. This is a sample post to get you started on your journey. Don’t forget that your headline is the most important aspect of writing a great post, and getting readers to read your opening paragraph. The first four to six sentences of your post are critical, because if you don’t hook your audience, they will get bored and click away. What is the benefit you will provide readers that you promised in the title? Be sure to describ
