Creative Leadership

Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People®

As a leadership trainer, I do kind of bang on a bit about a whole range of management models and techniques that people who lead others should be thinking about to get the best out of their teams. One of the models I particularly like for the creative world is Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. It's pretty interesting to see that many of the more… Continue

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Review - PS3

(First Published at Ace Gamez) If revenge is a dish best served cold, then Nathan Drake is taking things a tad literally in Unchartered 2: Among Thieves. The story begins with Nathan waking up in a crashed train carriage dangling over the edge of a frozen cliff face in Nepal, covered in blood and freezing to death. As the twisted wreckage slides further down the ledge, your tutorial consists of a… Continue

How do I Pay Copyright on Media in Programs

Hayley, one of my favourite neices got married recently and I attended the wedding. It was set in the beautiful Ardoe House. The song chosen for the wedding ceremony was Let there be Love by the incomparible Nat King Cole.

I wrote a Snap Game in Processing featuring the beatiful wedding photos and on completion of ten snaps an mp3 of the song plays and the lyrics and more photos of the wedding are displayed. The background colour was chosen to match the bridesmaids dresses and I am using… Continue

Guardian media looking to hire blogger in Edinburgh (fully paid!)

The topic of citizen journalism, old/new media has been a favourite topic of mine this past week after Jeff Ullman mentioned the “death of newspapers” in his talk. To my surprise, the Guardian announced that they are building a blog focused on local media, and for some unknown reason, has chosen Leeds, Edinburgh and Cardiff. Plus, they are advertising for a position of a local blogger! And we’re not just talking about “pay per blog” type of job – but a real job. With money attached. In fact,… Continue

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising Review - Xbox 360

(First Published at Ace Gamez) Operation Flashpoint has always been one of the more exclusive games in the FPS pack, an absolute nightmare of a simulation shooter with an insanely realistic difficulty setting that makes the entirety of Call of Duty 4’s veteran mode look like an opening stage tutorial. As such, it’s most definitely an acquired taste and fans of the series will be pleased to know that… Continue

Sore Backs and Paper Backs

Once again I watched my 11 year old son take off to school with a rucksack that would best a circus strongman. There's been lots written about the detrimental long term effects on the posture and spines of young people lugging so much around. Why does this still happen?

I was playing around with one of the newest Sony e-readers, which got me thinking. You could probably fit every book needed for the entire 4-6 years of high school on one of these. Probably weighs less than a hardback… Continue

King of Fighters XII Review - Xbox 360

(First Published at Ace Gamez) The 2D beat-em-up arena has become increasingly volatile since the launch of Street Fighter IV. Any scrapper released after Capcom’s heavyweight risks being evaluated in comparison to its (almost) perfectly balanced character roster, stunning visuals and hard-hitting pace. While the game isn’t exactly innovative, it succeeds in both improving on an already exemplary… Continue
