Outdoor living... mmm.
Outdoor living ... mmm. The weather has been so good recently, we've been able to eat in our garden virtually every evening for the past three weeks. Indeed, before about 7.00 p.m., it has been too hot, largely, to be outside. Climate change has guilty little short term benefits.

What have I been doing?
What have I been doing since May, that I've not posted until now.
On a personal note, today I had possibly my last session with a clinical psychologist in Nottingham, with whom I have talked for eight years following my pain management course in Nottingham in 1998. I doubt I would have been doing most of the things I'm doing now if it hadn't been for that course, which came at just the right time for me.
Professionally, I've been busy, with a week during June in Ottawa, at the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation [CHSRF], working to set up a resource 'repository' for decisionmakers. It was a very busy week, with a lot achieved. Now we must consolidate it. Since my return, I've been busy collecting resources for a CDHPP social enterprise summer school, which is in progress this week, and apparently is going very well.

The theory of the long tail
Thursday 6 July 2006
The Independent Extra today has a cover article on how consumers have taken control of popular culture, and virtually insisted that a wide choice of goods and services are available.
The article is based on a new book called 'The Long Tail' by Chris Anderson. I think it could be very influential this year, in the same way the Tipping Point and Blink have been.
