I aten't dead yet...

...and I seem to have finally shaken off the 'flu that laid me up in bed for a week. However it does mean that I have read an awful lot of books, and seen a huge pile of DVDs...

Yesterday was the memorial service for my friend Lynne Thomas. It was sad and happy at the same time, and a fitting send off to one of the greats of British technology PR. As they said, she truly was a legend in her lunchtimes.

And tomorrow I'm off to Las Vegas where I get to do one of the biggest interviews of my career as an IT writer . And I get to go on a helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon. Photos and videos definitely to follow.

...honest.

...maybe the Liberty dollar.
