I’m so glad to see the IIA recognise Pat Phelan as the tech titan he is, by awarding him Overall Netvisionary prize for 2008. No one deserves it more than Pat. As well as being a complete telecoms rockstar, his hardworking ethic underpins every part of his business. He’s invested so much time, effort and ideas into other businesses. Helping them out, giving advice. Generosity SV-style.
For the rest of us that couldn’t make it to tonight’s expensive IIA Netvisionary awards show, the real place to watch out for winners live was Twitter. Between the IIA and Pat we were kept bang up to date until this, of course!
You have until November 1st to register to vote on the draft register for the coming year. Check the electoral register to see if you are on it. You want to play in the locals next Summer, right?
It’s never too early to put up those Christmas lights, you know..
And the award for Design site with the Best Name goes to Art Bastard.
‘The Insiders’ by Jane Mayer – New Yorker cover story from the last issue calling BS on Sarah Palin’s claims of being outside the Washington political elite. Good piece.
Gentrify is a mashup map of points of interest in San Francisco. The nicer sorts of places. Tongue firmly in cheek territory. But a nice way to share, right? Wouldn’t be nice to build one for an Irish city, say Dublin or Cork?
A very exciting programme for the Arts Council New Media conference. Andrew ‘Doubting Thomas’ Keen is keynoting. Well worth the day out. Free too! Via Damien.
