plasticbag : Fire Eagle and Brickhouse make Business Week - The recent press around Fire Eagle has been pretty interesting. It's always interesting to see where they get some of the facts wrong. Helps me work out where we've not got it quite right yet.

plasticbag : 'The Web 2.0 Grail' is a water bottle that Tim O'Reilly drank from at Web 2.0 Berlin, as put on ebay by 'Mister Wong' for for some reason (I'm guessing clumsy PR)... - It's actually ridiculous enough to be funny, particularly because you just know that Tim would be completely mortified by the idea. Only useful if you want to build up your O'Reilly DNA repository, I would guess.

plasticbag : John Gisby's headed over to Channel 4. He's a nice chap who I rate and wish all the best at his new job. - Channel 4 seem to be assembling quite an interesting team of people, including quite a lot of my favourite ex-BBC-ers. Very different structure by all accounts. Interested to see what happens there.

Rod Begbie : YouTube - Doctor Who, Children in Need Special - Time Crash - I completely forgot this was on tonight. Lovely little bit of Who geekery. Number 5 was "my" doctor too -- the first one I remember watching. [via] #
plasticbag : The BBC's Children in Need Doctor Who special generated a little squee in my mind that I feel compelled to share with the internets.. - It's a dumb, sentimental and clumsy little micro episode, but Peter Davison was my Doctor too and therefore it means something to me. You rock Peter Davison!
