Buondì. A quick note to anyone who tried to write to me about Wednesday’s article ‘Serendipity and language-learning‘. We had technical problems with email addresses across our organisation, due to me doing something in a hurry and not recognising the consequences for a day and a half. Emails got bounced back to the sender, which […]

Buondì. Serendipity means an unplanned, fortunate discovery. Serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of product invention and scientific discovery. Serendipity is also seen as a potential design principle for online activities that would present a wide array of information and viewpoints, rather than just re-enforcing a user’s opinion.

Buondì. It’s Friday, it’s hot, and the Summer Sale has been a lot of work… So I’ll keep this short. Today, I thought I’d do an article about our Summer Sale bestsellers, so you’ll know what other club members are buying before the ‘Summer Sale’ ends on Sunday night (at which point it’ll be too […]

Buondì. A word that always comes out wrong when I type it is… (you won’t believe this)… langauge Dunno why. Ironic though, isn’t it? I’m quite proud of my ability to type with all ten fingers without looking at the keyboard. But there are some words that just come out wrong, as if my fingers […]

Buondì. I was looking back at what I wrote on the Wednesday of last year’s Summer Sale, hoping for inspiration. But didn’t find any. Then it occurred – why not write about all the great stuff we’ve published SINCE then, in case there’s anyone out there who’s been lost in the jungle for twelve months? […]
