Top Chap

Today, I had tea with an extremely nice bloke called Simon Waldman. Simon is the Director of Digital Publishing of the Guardian Media Group. Simon has quite a plush office but he's not one who's afraid of getting muck in with the ol' Web 2.0. He showed me stuff like Devon Technologies which is a cool bit of kit to grab stuff of the tinternet and available for search, Google-style at a later stage.

Anyway, the chat I had wasn't so much about the Guardy - it was more about the web, how Simon sees the media landscape changing and his favourite businesses and restaurants.

I'll be in Paris this weekend. I'll try to get a connection and upload the interview. Here's a pic of this very lovely chap - and a loving husband and father I might add. Thank you Simon.

Hmm...Pizza

The best Pizza in London can be found on Drury Lane. Delicious freshly baked pizzas for 4 swills. I get overly excited about the pizzas and never cared to find out the name of the restaurant/cafe - I will find out I promise. It's just up from The New Theatre, where they're showing the Blue Man Group. There's a A-board outside on the pavement saying "4pound pizzas"

Lovely. 4 out of 5. Here's me enjoying the pizza.

Lovely place to hang out

Waterstone on the Piccadilly is usually ramped with people. It's a welcomed surprise that they now serve books with coffee and cakes on the 5th floor. All goodies are reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Well done Waterstone.
