It's a half-hour chat covering most areas of the talk I'm going to give at Reboot 9 later this week: what makes human language different from animal communication, do programming languages count as languages?, why computers fail , why telepathy would work so much better than words, and much, much more.
Enjoy!

We're on wiki :D
Something we created actually made it on to Wikipedia. Even better, 2 somethings :) Unfortunately Mediacatalyst isn't mentioned as the creator but it's still very cool to see our stuff gets noticed.
If you want to see for yourself:

Perhaps it's silly to be this excited about finding this out but it's like getting a good score on a report card. My baby is deemed Noteworthy :D so there...
Now I have to fight the urge to fill in: "we made this" on the wiki page.

I'm a talking head!
Nicole Simon of Cruel to be Kind and Bloxpert is interviewing me this Thursday as a prelude to the excitement of next week's Reboot.
That's all. Now get back to work.

Yesterday Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple penned an open letter to the internet pledging a "greener Apple" which made me think of us as a company and our attitude towards the environment. I realise that we're not an MNC (yet!) and we don't have an impact on the environment that a company like Apple would have BUT I still think we can all play a little part in saving out planet.
So how can I contribute???

It's pneumatic!
