It’s that time of year again, where Edinburgh becomes a hub of even more activity and tourists than normal. It’s festival season and it begins with the Edinburgh International Film Festival, which for the first time, I have managed to secure tickets to all the shows I want to see….and I’m kind of excited. The [...]

#EdCM Stop Motion by @MikeCoulter
Edinburgh Coffee Morn Stop Frame from brandfeed on Vimeo. Mike Coulter of Digital Agency put together this great stop motion from pictures he took remotely during our regular Friday coffee mornings. Mike always captures the moments well & creatively. Above is the my cameo. Glad I made an effort for once!
Lost Love
A friend of mine saw this today on Dundas Street in Edinburgh. Quite sweet. People usually put this in the missed connections in papers or magazines. This gal is on a mission! Thanks @leepeyton for the image!
Da Blog
I feel as if I haven’t applied an original thought to this site in a very long time. Reasons are plentiful and excuses, as always, are many. Most likely it’s a combination of blogging for other jobs, twitter and laziness. Do other bloggers successfully use twitter and keep their blogs up to date. Yes, I’m [...]
I'm a blipper
Some great guys from Rocket in Edinburgh designed and built Blipfoto.com. Co-founded by Joe Tree and then developed by the team into a fully-fledged online system during any studio downtime. Blipfoto.com allows anyone to set up their own journal and publish one photo a day for free. It started in July 2006 and since then [...]
Digital Britain presentation with Lord Carter
I had the privilege of attending the final report presentation & discussion with Lord Carter today in Edinburgh. The event was very candid, helped dispel some myths and state in clearer terms other aspects of the Digital Britain Report. Such as the money that would be taken from the BBC would not be going straight [...]

From the first mention by Jim Wolff about @EdTwestival a mere month ago at [...]
Temporary Loss of Power
As some of you might know, H, Chase (pictured above) and I are moving flats. It’s been a drawn out process and I look forward to seeing the back of it come the end of January! In light of this, we are having our brilliant Virgin trifecta (phone/broadband/tv) transferred and as helpful as they are, [...]
The social media experiment
So I have decided and volunteered to create a social media campaign for my part-time retail job. As it’s an individual versus a chain, there could be immense benefits from a campaign such as this and regardless what you may think of social media, bottom line is, it’s pretty darn affordable. A problem they seem [...]
Edinburgh Coffee Morning Round up
CM Peeps 19.09.08 As I may or may not have blogged about before (if you’ve met me in person, I’ve certainly gone on about it), the Edinburgh Digital/Creative Coffee Morning is something thoroughly I look forward to every week. As the usual blogger, Mike, is away this week and I’ve been meaning to write about [...]
