This is a blog by Meg Pickard. YMMV.
Hit the duck to be whisked to a random post

All photos » Someone call the trademark infringement team! How many patterns can one infant wear? High   We went for a long walk. Well, I did the walking; Erin mainly looked after the napping end of things We both need a nap Un entente cordial Work in progress I misread this: interchanged 'monk' and 'child' When you're only a few weeks old, space monkeys on a play gym arch are quite awesome Did my duty. Bit gloomy about the prospective results though, frankly. 8 weeks old, to the minute 

Five

  1. Thou shalt not cut thine own fringe. It will always be wonky.
  2. Thou shalt not argue with strangers on the internet. It is a fule’s game and by engaging, thou becomest a fule thyself.
  3. Thou shalt go to bed at a reasonable hour. Whatever it is, it can wait.
  4. Thou shalt not push thyself beyond thy limits when thou art sick. Take it easy, or thou shalt never recover.
  5. Thou shalt not push others when thou art out shopping and people are dawdling and shuffling and writing text messages as they amble along so they have no awareness that they’re in the middle of the causeway and preventing anyone else from getting past, regardless of however much the stupid fuckwits deserve it.

Here endeth today’s lesson.

    I’m sorry Meg, I can’t promise to stick to number 5. You have my complete support on the others though.

    - “Never argue with idiots. They only bring you down to their level then beat you through experience.” – never heard that one before, going to make a note of it!

By way of explanation…

This is an individual post, which may not be very recent. For the latest stuff on meish dot org, please visit the main page.

By the way, I'm female. It doesn't have much impact on what I write about, or how I write, but I thought I'd point it out because so many people who link to this site seem to assume I'm male.

The clue's in the name: Meg. Like all those other female Megs.

What’s all this, then?

This is a personal site, created and curated continuously since early 2000 by Meg Pickard, a creative geek, passionate photographer, anthropologist and web experience /community /social media specialist, who works for The Guardian & lives in London, UK.
 
The site includes a blog - a personal and evolving collection of links, opinions, thoughts, ideas, anecdotes and musings - as well as a variety of other projects. It is also a place to aggregate some of the author's distributed web activity, like photos, links and music.

Important note #1

This is a personal site. The contents and opinions contained within don't necessarily reflect those of my employer, family, or cat. They think for themselves (though mostly about tuna, in at least one case), and so do I.

Important note #2

Since the overwhelming majority of content on this site is historical, it should be regarded in light of the context in which it was originally published, and not as indicative or revealing of current perspectives, preferences or experience.

Important note #3

While I work and spend a lot of time thinking and talking about social media, participatory technologies and community development strategies, the vast majority of content on this site is not about that.

This personal site isn't about anything, except the perpetual unfolding of one person's experience, and the perspectives, observations and opinions that involves and inspires.

You still here?

Oh.
