I know, I know… where’s the new layout then? Ok, I’ve been busy, so that has taken a back seat, but soon, I promise. A few months ago, I bumped into Steve and Debbie from SD Pest Control in my local shopping centre. Pest control isn’t normally my kind of interest, but they do things [...]

Time for a change

Posted: 4th November 2010 by Paul Hadley in Uncategorized

I think it’s time I changed the design and layout of this blog. Now things are looking a little tired- the format has been like this for over 12 months now, and perhaps I should think about a different style, look and feel. However, looking at my statistics, it appears that most people that read [...]

Translation and the Digital Divide

Posted: 23rd July 2010 by Paul Hadley in Uncategorized

I’m English. I only speak the English language (well actually I speak a little French, but only when I really have to). I live in England. I shop in England. I was educated in England. The vast majority of my friends are English too, and whenever we meet, we too speak English and relate to [...]

It is crucial for commercial organisations to use online communication channels to help them engage with both customers and fellow businesses. Businesses are increasingly using social media platforms to build more personal relationships with customers. But while well-implemented digital media communications can be the cornerstone of a building a brand or reputation, a weak online [...]

As you are aware, over the recent weeks, I have been working with Advantage West Midlands, developing the AWMist geographic directory of West Midlands businesses. Yesterday a major breakthrough was achieved, allowing for the integration of two separate systems, to allow users to show video within their profile. Allow me to explain how this works… [...]

The business environment today is indeed a very diverse place. There are legal considerations required for sex, race, religion, background and external influences that all come into play when holding down effective professional relationships in the workplace, but one thing is for sure- everyone now has to use a computer as part of their daily [...]

In this video, I visit Kerry Thomas and Dave at Fused Magazine. We talk about the past history and success achieved, and Kerry gives us an insight into what the future holds, both for them, and also for print-based media, and the creative industries in Birmingham. Kerry Thomas from Paul Hadley on Vimeo. Many thanks [...]

Safe behind the keyboard

Posted: 9th February 2010 by Paul Hadley in MA, Uncategorized

Anonymity- we can all use the safety cushion that technology and the internet provides us with if we so choose. Ample opportunities abound on many fora to simply register some meaningless email address, sign-up with a bogus identity, load bullets of text onto an open platform as a troll, and then watch your enemies fire [...]

Inspiration, snow and whisky

Hat tip to Hannah Nicklin, thank you. So, it’s 3.19am, I’ve just saved 3000 words as a draft, and I spot a tweet from Hannah: “A watched Posterous never autoposts.” So, now I’m stuck for creativity and inspiration, it’s time for some fresh air. The heavens have gently, silently delivered another 2 inches of beautiful [...]

Filmed in early December 2009, I manage to catch up with Clare at home, immediately before a performance with Notorious Choir in Birmingham city centre, and straight off the back of a trip to India. I ask about what drives her, where her passion comes from, and what sort of things in her work make [...]
