Another take on the Bob Geldof ColaLife conversation, this time from Lloyd Davis of perfect path. Lloyd is the inspiration behind The Tuttle Club and was a fellow G20 Voice Blogger. I like this take as it shows Nick filming the conversation, the hand shake and tap on the shoulder! You can see Lloyd’s original […]
The G20 Summit communique in a wordle
2 April 2009 by
If you go to wordle.net and paste in the text of the G20 Summit communique, this is what you get. I would have preferred if words like JUSTICE, CHANGE and CLIMATE had featured – I can’t believe they don’t.

2 April 2009 by
Tom Watson was the first MP to start blogging and he is still going here. He’s carried a link on his blog to the ColaLife Campaign since the very early days and we follow each other on Twitter. So, in a way, I feel I know him pretty well but we’ve only met fleetingly twice […]

Yes, I understand. But what about the 20% child mortality?
1 April 2009 by
Image credit: Alison Pearson I knew today was going to be a bit of a challenge. Me, a ‘spare-timer’, going into an environment of development professionals. So although I was prepared I did feel I needed to reassure myself of the child mortality figures one more time. How bad is it really? How do the […]
