Hmm. Is it time to start writing again? And if it is, is the new blogger the right place to do it? Still, nice to see Google have finally started integrating their acquisitions into the wider world of Googleness. I suspect this is all part of an evil plan to make my Gmail address indispensable, but I don't mind.

Playing with YouTube My recent experiments with MySpace concluded that this is probably 100% accurate.. You may want to note that 'thanks to' and 'filmed on location at' comments at the end. MySpace - where authentic youth culture is manufactured .... or something. Funny though.

Green my Apple Apple computers are a lot less green than you'd think given their image. Indeed when my employer Greenpeace ranked 14 global electronics companies in terms of how much toxic ewaste their products produce Apple ranked 11th out of 14. That's why we're asking people to make Apple green www.greenpeace.org/apple (and don't forget to tag references to this campaign with greenmyapple

Old blogs never die Although in my case they sometimes disappear off line for years at a time. Still, I've republished the blogger archives of my old site- MBA Experience, at http://sbsmba.blogspot.com I'll put the rest of the site back as well sooner or later. Another blog which has reached a close is Tony Rickey's excellent Three Years of Hell (to become the devil) . Since Tony claims I'm part

Oh dear... Scepticism is mounting about the plot to bring down aeroplanes with binary explosives. I do hope we don't end up with another situation where mass arrests and mass publicity is followed by the quiet release of people against whom we have no proof, and who may well be innocent, or at the worst guilty of running off at the mouth to impress their friends. While it's not surprising that

And the conclusion is...? Either this means the police have enough powers to protect us from this kind of thing or it means we need to be able to detain people for 90 days at a stretch with no charge and no lawyers. Indeed once the dust has settled I'd like to know if at any point the investigators wished they'd had access to the kind of powers Blair suggested in the first draft of his

A chance to contribute Can't say much about this yet, but our Mediterranean office is putting together some great stuff around the middle east crisis, and I get to be involved. Of course unless a ceasefire comes into effect soon focusing people's attention on ecology is going to be very difficult. But if the bombs do stop falling we need to make sure the rebuilding is done in a way that's best

Fantasy football pre-season Today I've been getting on with the essential football pre-season ritual that is choosing my fantasy football team. I've been doing this for more than ten years now, and I have to say that if there's a drab midtable dogfight on TV knowing that the end result will actually matter when it comes to end of season bragging rights makes it that bit more interesting. I also

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? I'm sure pop culture used to include protest songs. It's been years of war in the Gulf, in Afghanistan, in Palestine, and now in Lebanon, and there still isn't anything worth singing at a protest rally that's made it onto MTV... No more heroes

.Con I've been reading .con, a history of the .com boom and bust. It takes place at pretty much the time I was leaving university and going to work in the web industry. Indeed one of my old CVs mentioned having 'a ringside seat' on the whole affair. I'd love to be able to talk to myself as I was then. I remember thinking two things a) The .com bubble was clearly ridiculous and couldn't last b

Duff numbers Duff was actually on a four year contract for Chelsea, so this year they'll actually show a profit on selling him. 17 million / 4 years is 4.25 million a year, so if we really did pay 5 they're 750 k to the good. All of which is pretty academic when you're Roman Abramovich. Testing Toxics Appeal

Duff in for how much? Football finance is one of the most misunderstood things around. Even journalists who should no better have been trumpeting the 'Newcastle only paid #5m for Duff' story as if it's news. When a transfer fee is announced it's in everyone's favour to exaggerate it. So the selling club will tot up all the potential add ons, extra payments, performance bonuses etc. in order to
