California to Solve Budgetary Woes with ‘Death Plates’

Posted by Patrick Gannon, 13 Aug 2010
For a wide range of issues, California is the battlefield where the next big thing and the status quo struggle for supremacy. From gay marriage to new emissions standards and the legalization of marijuana, the state that elected the half-human, half-mechanical Austrian as its governor is almost always on the forefront—for better or for worse. Once again, California is leading the way. This time the state is balancing its budget with new license plates that will turn highways into death traps!

Making Whuffie

Posted by Jim Boulton, 26 Jun 2009
Two mentions of Whuffie in the same week, one by our esteemed leader at our recent Health 2.0 seminar and one by James Cherkoff over at his Modern Marketing blog, is too much of a coincidence, so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon while there's still time.

Somebody’s always watching

Posted by Jim Boulton, 04 May 2009
My mother-in-law to be has a saying, "somebody's always watching." She means it in a good way because she's a good person. She means that any good act you do will be recognised by somebody, somewhere. This notion fills me with foreboding, not because I am a bad person but because (very) occassionally I do something I wouldn't want my mother-in-law to find out about. As my friend's dad says, which I am minded to agree with, "honesty is the best policy but it's not always necessary to hit people over the head with the truth."
