Mark’s Blog

I’ve been hinting at new things for a while now. Well here it is.. As of today I’ve taken up a new role as Product Development Manager at Green Options.
I’m pretty excited to be taking a challenging position with a great company with many opportunities for the future. I’ve updated my About page, explaining exactly […]

What have I been up to?

Got a new job - more information in the next couple of weeks when I start
Got married - and enjoyed a great holiday afterwards
Implemented a new web-magazine format together with Green Options
Didn’t do much blogging..

Will be […]

I’m much intrigued by Google’s new Google Lively beta. Try out my test room..

Last week I sat down to blog about the content of a recent British Government report on renewable energy. At the time my head was full of ideas and opinion on the subject, and as I love writing in a slightly cynical and sarcastic manner I was looking forward to coming up with some critical […]

Since I don’t typically write stuff that goes down well with the Digg audience I was pretty chuffed to wake up this morning and find that I had made the front page for my EcoWorldly piece on the impending extinction of the snowman.

Ok, it took a while, and it’s not exactly a lifetime […]

Think I’ll start doing it monthly instead, especially since my weekly blogging rate seems to have suffered in the past month.
My current blogging pipeline is overflowing with about 30 post ideas waiting to be written, although I’ve had a few other projects to keep me busy in recent weeks - more news about that […]

Business As Usual For Climate Change? - Following the coverage of controversial new research suggesting that "global warming may be on hold", I’ve looked at how this issue was reported and what this means.

Decision Time: The Climate Is Changing - - […]

Thanks Microsoft.
I’ve been very generous to Vista over the past year. Many friends and colleagues, the press, and particularly the blogoshpere have been scathing about its performance, reliability and compatibility.
So far I’ve been confused as to what all these people are complaining about. Vista has some great new features (I can’t live without the search), […]

Bit late with posts this week, having not gotten very much done since getting back from holiday due to some micro-organisms that I seem to have brought back with me..
So here are the two posts that I have managed..
Cars Might Fly - even though I do love cars, I can’t help the feeling that […]

Strange how it takes a while to get going again..
Will be back with more soon - just in case you had thought that I’d disappeared.

I’m unlikely to make any posts next week due to holidays, but in the meantime..

TalkClimateChange
TalkClimateChange Takes a Holiday -Something To Consider In The Meantime - As I’m about to take a short holiday I thought it worth taking a brief step-back to re-think the objectives of TalkClimateChange. Probably not much is going to change, but […]

The New Social Media Democracy - My continued thoughts on the future of blogging.

25 Years Later, Climate Change Becomes the New War? - Commentary on the George Bush climate speech of last week. I wasn’t going to bother covering it, but had to in the end.
The Tide Is Coming In… - Plans to let parts […]

I’ve recently been considering the wider and more long term impact that social media may begin to have on the blogosphere, and on the web-media business in general.
Social media will undoubtedly change things for everybody, from bloggers at the lower end of the media food chain to the global news corporations at the top. Like […]

Been a more than busy week this week, with fewer posts than usual. Nonetheless..

EcoWorldly
Permanent Link to Grumpy Climate Change Commentator - Bangkok Climate Talks - A post written under the influence of the Monday Blues.
The Spy Who Was "Plane Stupid" - Was about to write something much more boring when this great story came along.

This post was originally published on EcoWorldly.
Putting pen to paper for Bus Transportation Week I began to make a few notes about bus travel in Switzerland – the country that I usually cover on EcoWorldly. My notes read: reliable, clean, efficient.
Not much of a story there.
When there is not much happening in Switzerland and […]
