tagged (again)

128008086_e31481bc92_o

John Grant, has tagged me with this Five Fings thang that's doing the rounds. Normally I would ignore such tosh. But I felt different to this request. Okay, so there were no threats of looming disaster which was refreshingly honest, but then again nor will I be the recipient of good fortune in 48 hours. Damn.

No it's the blog-thing that makes it different. When I started this blog it was to take an active part in a community, and the more you put into a community the more you get back, right? So, if that means only one person is moderately interested in me, then so be it. I'm in.

  1. I have already been tagged, actually it was my alter-ego on another site. It's not too difficult to work out who that alter-ego is, so I'll leave it to you to find out. Should you be in the least bit interested.
  2. I have never watched any of the Star Wars films all the way through. The same goes for 2001 A Space Odyssey. And I sometimes wonder if I ever will.
  3. Whenever I go abroad I take 300% more books than I could ever read in that time. And I've still haven't learnt my lesson. Although at least now they tend to be soft-backs.
  4. Everything I have ever created has disappointed in the transition from the imagination to reality. I think this is one of my key motivations for working harder. One day I will be pleased
  5. In the last year I have started to get stressed out by my stuff. I have too much of everything and am now scaling it down via eBay. I am now more drawn to experiences than ownership.

I'm now suppose to send this onto new five people. But I've already done that via my alter-ego. So, forgive me for not doing it again.

the secret to virals

One of the projects we're working on right now is a web based video campaign. I suppose I could call it a viral, but as we all know you don't make virals, you make pieces of communication which become viral. So it was mighty handy to come across the Viral Learning Centre.

An altogether more insightful piece on what makes something viral can be found here though.
