Do You Want a Green Egg?
“Help us help the environment, go paperless” is the pitch you get from your utility company, your bank, your broadband provider and anyone else that sees sending you a paper statement or invoice in the post as a cost to them. We all know that they don’t actually care about the cost to the environment,…

Keepin’ It Real
I saw this cartoon posted on Phil’s Unionversity Website yesterday… as the founder of no paper I simply had to repost it, plus I thought it was genius. There’s plenty of other great cartoons on the site more at poorly drawn lines you should follow me on Twitter here

eBooks Are For Weirdos
According to a new survey by Harris Interactive 1 in 6 Americans now use an eReader with 1 in 6 likely to purchase one within the next 6 months. That’s 15%, which is almost double what it was this time last year, 8%. Also eBook readers purchase more books and read on average more than paper…

The Cosmonaut is The Write Stuff
I posted about the Scribbly a while ago, but I just stumbled on the Cosmonaut by Studio Neat, the guys that created the Glif, which in case you missed it is a cool iPhone tripod mount and stand, that had a very successful Kickstarter launch. Well it looks like they’ve done it again with another…

Don’t Build It and They Will Come, 90k Of Them!
That appears to be Martin Hasek’s philosophy, the creator of Noteslate, and it appears to be working. I posted about the Noteslate back in January, I was sceptical then and unfortunately my scepticism was founded, as this CNN report confirmed shortly afterwards, but that doesn’t appear to have stopped 64,000 people clicking the like button on their homepage,…

As the saying goes “sh!t happens!” The recent spate of rioting, looting and arson in the UK will cost the taxpayer millions, plus business and household insurance premiums will rise as insurance companies cover their loses. The large businesses will bounce back and continue to operate, but smaller businesses will have a much harder time…

Any Idea What This Means?
all I know is that I’ve lost almost a week of work… or about 100hrs of effort! (yes I work long days) It’s what I was greeted with this afternoon, when I rebooted my Mac and opened an Illustrator file I’ve been working on since 23rd May (Yes almost two months!). Thankfully I’m religious about…

eBooks Outselling Paperbacks
Last week Amazon announced that it is now selling more eBooks than paperbacks (already 3x as many hardbacks). Amazon predicted this would happen in Q2 of 2011, but sales are obviously wildly beyond Amazon’s own predictions! Amazon.com is now selling more Kindle books than paperback books. Since the beginning of the year, for every 100…

The Insanity of Book Publishers
Einstein’s definition of insanity is “Doing the same thing again and again, but expecting different results” I read this morning on the National Post that Canada’s largest book distributor (HB Fenn and company) has declared bankruptcy proceedings. In the statement, H.B. Fenn blamed “the loss of distribution lines, shrinking margins and the significant shift to…
