Sunday Sightings

I TRY TO CREATE a 10-minute newsround every Sunday because it's a good way to check personal video technology. I've also discovered a cluster of Irish who travel and they like checking my newsflow for the Sunday papers.

I've also discovered that I can use my weekly newsrounds as personal follow-up items. Several things jumped out in the Sunday broadsheets today that I've pushed across into Evernote and onto my Nokia Lumia Clever To-Do List. If you watch the video embedded below the break in this blog post, you'll discover the big priority: ready the garden for our little boy's christening party. The clip from Audioboo doesn't make that goal clear.

Media Contact's Social Media Festival runs during the last week of June. Christian Payne and Katie Moffat will fly in to present some workshops.

I am topgold on Audioboo and I curate links about news. Five years ago, I was betting a student could get a job as a blogger.
