No pictures, but had a great evening over beers with Matt Mower and Roger Turner in London. Roger knows more about Radio than I’ll ever know, and Matt continues to impress with his goals related to liveTopics and some soon-to-be-announced things he’s kicking around with Paolo. Meeting people like this is by far the best…

I’m watching CNN International in my hotel room, and now they’re giving coverage to the “brand of the year” farce that I pointed out a few hours ago. “Respondents from 72 countries were asked…” They’re referring to this survey at Brandchannel.com – and BrandChannel explains their “methodology” (ahem) thusly: For the purposes of brandchannel’s Readers’…

Doc Searls stolen laptop. What’s Up, Doc?. Like many of you, I was shocked when I learned that my buddy Doc had his laptop stolen. What a crock! Well, it’s time to give back to the man who’s given so much to this community. I’ve set up a PayPal donation link. Let’s get that man…
