off to glasgow

I'm off to Glasgow today for a while, to work on the Hallam Foe project. I'll be there a lot for the next couple of months.

And after that? Who knows.

As the internet gets more powerful, geography gets less of an issue.

I like Dennis Howlett's set-up. His blog drives his business; the latter he runs online from his home in a small Spainish town. Where a good meal, washed down with plenty of wine costs about $20.

The older I get, the more I like this type of "Global Microbrand" business model.

Which is why I'm so obsessed with the concept. You get to a certain age, and it's no longer about the money. It's about sovereignty. To paraphrase Napolean, I can always win back lost territory. But a second of time, never.

Have flag, avec dotage avec cheap wine and good meals and an artists' garret with a state of the art laptop and cheap broadband et voila - have sovereignty!

C'est le bon!
