I love the generosity of the bloglands. Here are two great examples of great thinking available to you for free:
1. Mr Colman has done a brilliant interview with John Grant. I'm really liking Paul's uncompromising approach to interviewing. He's not editing much, he's letting you hear the whole interview and I find that incredibly useful. And John is very smart, scarily articulate and comes complete with great examples. He also has that certainty and coherence about his own ideas that I suspect comes from writing a book. (Maybe I have that certainty about cafes). Two interesting people in conversation. There's nothing better.
(Not sure it's Paul's best illustration though. Sorry. Don't hit me.)
2. Iain points to this fantastic flickr set full of great webby, onliney, whatsgoingonintheworldy facts. What a top thing to do. As Iain says, thanks Lynette.
(The picture is from that set. I've never really worked out how to do that linking from pictures thing.)
Mr Colman's interviews have been great. They're the planners' Radio 4. I like to settle down with a cup of tea before listening to Mr Colman's dulcet tones.
As for Lynette thanks for a fantastic resource.

Back at ya Russell - thanks for your blogerosity.
And to John, who made the effort to come over to my office. You'll notice I say very little, hence a good interview.
Agree with you about the edit (lack of), plus I still don't really know how to do it, and most importantly - the longer they are the more it annoys Ben.
Glad some people (other than me) are finding them useful and/or interesting. I'm going to put a post up tonight about future interviews, be good to get your views guys.
