Google have finally revealed their long awaited desktop strategy and in many ways it is not particularly surprising. Take the core of the Linux operating system and stick it's chrome web browser on top. When chrome was released there was some speculation that certain aspects of its design meant it might grow to become more than just a browser, and this appears to be the case. The real question is what does this mean for us users.
What are the positives for you and I? The obvious is a well desig…

Kate and I are off down to London on Thursday 7th May to do a makeover on Scott Mills. His show are running a 'Beccycam' feature each day this week where something happens at Beccy's desk and it's streamed live via the webcam - we'll also get a mention on his show. Fantastic coup and we're really pleased. It came about because I sent a cheeky email asking if he was man enough to undergo a makeover - he read out my email a few weeks ago, then discussed men's makeup for a while and now we've been…

Hi
I'm getting back to my roots by settling down to be freelance in my local North East area after spending more than a decade running all over the country for other people! What would really help me get back in touch with local issues, as well as joining forums like this, is to find out what the issues local businesses face in terms of people skills. I welcome any comments from fellow members about what they know or have an opinion about, what is it that businesses need in terms of people devel…

Well it's a small world and I think I must lead a rich and varied life.
Yesterday I spent a good while on the phone speaking to one of President Barack Obama's make-up artists, who also happens to be a supplier to astonmitchell, our men's make-up business. I'd forgotten she knew the President, because she doesn't make a big issue out of it, but I remember playing phone tag during the election campaign as she was on tour with him. So if I know her, and she knows HIM then I must be 2 degrees away…
