I discovered yesterday that a chap I regularly work with is still using Tiscali for his personal email. He’s a high-powered manager, overseeing a number of hugely important projects in the Information Technology industry. You’d expect more. At worst, I’d expect at least a Gmail account. At best I’d expect some kind of custom service [...]
Stay active and healthy with AmeriSciences AS10
If you’re anything like me — i.e. busy, generally a bit stressed and ‘running fast’ most days — then you’ll have the occasional day that looks like this: – McDonalds – 3 soggy mini sandwiches during the working lunch meeting – 1 bag of “Big Eat” Quavers – Burger King And of course, plenty of [...]
The Bluebeard’s Revenge: The ultimate shaving experience for real men
Now then I am rather sorry to admit that, yes, when it comes to shaving cream I’m rather pedestrian. Indeed, it’s highly embarrassing now that I’m forced to think about it: My whole shaving routine is … well, routine. Boring. It’s been the same for years. Now and again someone will give me something for [...]
Clear your Christmas List for Bang & Olufsen
Hello to the team at Bang & Olufsen. I have a confession to make in this regard. I walked past the Bang & Olufsen shop almost every weekend for about a year when I lived in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. I walked straight past. I didn’t go in. This is because a) I didn’t want to be [...]
Bring some country flair to your sooped-up technology with this Tweed iPad Case
I thought I’d go for a long title on this one. It’s de rigueur nowadays to have a decent case for your iPad. Those cheap, black rubbish plastic monstrosity shouldn’t be allowed. Either keep your iPad naked or get a decent case. And if you’d like to bring a bit of a traditional contrast to [...]
Fish ‘n’ Chips Case: A useful, practical indulgence!
Right then, we’ve all had this problem now and again I’m sure: You find yourself in one of the smarter village High Streets surrounded by 16th Century tumbledown cottages that you remember seeing for sale in excess of £1m in Country Life. There’s the occasional Knight Frank sign. There are one or two super-gastro pubs. [...]
Ah dear, I didn’t have a good experience with Office365 this evening
The Pursuit of Quality is now ‘live’, albeit in ‘beta’ (that is, I’m not talking about it on my other channels as yet). This means that email is now arriving and I think I need a dedicated email bucket so I can keep things separate. I don’t like having all my email in one box. [...]
Thank you and hello
Just a quick note to thank the team at SourceWire/Response Source who very kindly sent out my message to lots of PR firms this morning. It’s very exciting to see the emails arrive in — there’s lots of brilliant suggestions there already so I’m getting to work. Thank you!
The Chancery Court Hotel: It’s all about the towels
Pictured above is the rather wonderful Chancery Court Hotel on High Holborn in Central London. I used to have an office on Kingsway just round the corner from the hotel. A few days after moving into the office I decided to host a meeting in the Chancery Court’s bar — I presumed it had one. [...]
1&1 Internet: I can’t believe I was fake-sold email services!
I use Google Apps for all my email. I’ve been considering swapping to Microsoft’s Office365 because they’re now offering BlackBerry services and I find that particularly attractive. However I’m pretty much sold on Google Apps. Collectively, across all my accounts, I reckon I’ve got about 20 gigabytes of email content hosted with them. I really, [...]
