I'm very slow on the uptake - but if you've not seen this series of videos made last October, then check them out. Full of insight and interesting perspectives. Here is the first one. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzbSlQovq-0] For better quality viewing, and for…
Further to my suggestion a few weeks back that people should get hold of Carson & Woodbridge's Letters along the way, I started thinking about the pieces of advice that various bods have given us down the years. So here is…
The chaps at New Word Alive Media have been slaving away to get all the talks and seminars from both New Word Alive weeks available online. At only £1 per mp3 download they are certainly more reasonable than some pay…
I love TED - it's a mine of great stuff. I downloaded this ages ago - but have only now got round to watching it. Brilliant. 10 years ago, Billy Graham spoke at TED - not exactly the natural environment…
