Investigate the New Media
Here are my eight predictions for 2008. I’ve refrained from saying anything too vague or making the obvious “things will get faster/cheaper/better” predictions, but I left in one or two things that, while obvious to people “in the industry”, may not be completely obvious to those on the outside.

As we come down to the end of the year I find myself once again in a strange moment of transition. A few months ago I said goodbye to my little Games Park and settled on Metaversed Island. Now we’re renaming the island and moving it… I’ll fill you in on that […]

Sean Bedlam is what new media is all about.
He does two extremely taboo things in his videos: he swears […]
5 videos in total - so far
I was told at one point that “they” were waiting for me to get in touch. Foolishly, I wrote an aloof “what the hell” email.
Clearly, that was the wrong attitude.
Robin Hely created a short film called “Who Is Robert Henley?”, detailing the peculiar character that would later reappear in […]
