Yes, that’s right, this IS a new blog post!
I’m finally fulfilling my commitment to blog more regularly (after being shamed into it)
I don’t know what to write about though.
Google Buzz? Nope, it’s already been covered by about a gazillion people already.
The weather? Nope, it’s cold but that’s normal for winter, no?
So. Um…I’ll be back shortly
OK, I really mean it this time…I’m going to start blogging regularly again.
At, least 3 times a week.
Definitely, this time.
Honest
Hmm, seems I’ve failed to keep to the commitment I made in my last post to blog at least once a week.
Let’s start again shall we?
For some reason (probably laziness) I haven’t blogged for ages.
But I resolve to try harder in future. At least one blog post a week. Honest
Because I’m too lazy to get my act together & take part in #followfriday on Twitter, here a suggested list of just a very few of the people I follow who you may care to follow too.
I was going to add the reasons I follow each person, but due to the aforementioned laziness and being generally exhausted by swineflu, I haven’t bothered. Suffice to say, they all either informed, insightful, funny, clever, epic visionaries, just bloody lovely, or all all of those things. Anyway, don’t take my word for it, give them a follow (or at least check their recent tweets)
Here they are in alphabetical order (which seems fairest. don’t want to get into rankings and all that malarky. and sorry to anyone who isn’t on the list – it’s just a representative sample, nothing personal):
Well, it’s taken me some time to get my head around my plinth experience (was kind of dazed after an hour up there. severals pints of beer afterwards probably didn’t help either).
I wanted to throw just few thoughts and reflections down here, but first a big thank you to everyone who sent me encouraging messages & tweets of support, and who checked out ColaLife’s website, started following @colalife on Twitter or became a fan of ColaLife on Facebook.
The Artichoke team were very welcoming & brilliant at calming my nerves before I went up, so thank you to them too. Everyone who came along to represent or support Colalife also deserves a big thank you, for working hard to make sure people in Trafalgar Square could find out more about the campaign.
So, the experience of being on the plinth:
I might add some more here later. or I might not.
Well, my slot on the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar Square for the One&Other project is looming. And despite my huge ego, I’m getting a bit nervous (because I’m shy really. no, really, I am. really, really)
But I have a great cause to represent in ColaLife, a campaign to get Coca-Cola to open up its distribution channels in developing countries to save lives.
I’ll be taking the giant ColaLife aidpod up on the plinth with me to help promote the ColaLife campaign, but…
…I WANT YOUR HELP!!!!!
We want to make as big a splash as possible so we’re organising a ColaLife Twittermob – we want to fill Trafalgar Square! So please come along, wear something red if you can and show your support (oh, and help take some of the attention off me)
On the ColaLife website there’s some things you can do to show your support in person or online. Tell everyone you know!
Follow @colalife on Twitter to keep up-to-date with what’s happening
Hope to see you all there – 3pm Friday 17th July!
