At the beginning of September, I was invited (via Twitter) to take part in a photowalk for Jap-Fest, a festival of Japanese motorsport and motoring, at Mondello Park. While I am more of a motorbike enthusiast, I have always liked motor-sports cars and racing as well, so I was looking forward to photographing the event. (more…)

I learned a lot in 2008… and I loved a lot as well. Read about some of the highlights of my year from music, books, design, the web and technology to Obama, going green, success and failure, who I am/ what I do and sticktuitiveness!

How Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign utilises the web and social media

Obama Logo

Social networking is not exactly new to politics but as the web has evolved so have the strategies and tactics of political campaign teams and the online profiles of politicians.

Twittering, Flickring, Linking in, Facebooking…

connected Continuing on from my last post and in an attempt to start putting some of my New Year resolutions into action, I have salvaged, updated or setup accounts for all of the below. Check them out and connect with me to say hello if you’re on them too! If I don’t know you, am not linked to you in some way or don’t know of you, I may not add you (“cheek!” says you). However, I will appreciate the thought and effort that you went to in saying hi!

I’m planning to keep all of these for professional/ industry related purposes (within reason!). In other words, you won’t find embarrasing photos of me getting drunk or on holiday (you wouldn’t find them anywhere though!). I’m using LinkedIn and Facebook for career and industry networking, I’m using Twitter for less formal networking (and as an outlet to add my two cents worth, to sometimes vent and to ‘twitter’) and Im using Flickr to display my photography.

I think that that makes me sufficiently connected! :)
