Have you joined the WANTED group yet?



Almost 10% of 38minuters have. They [can opt to] receive an e-mail every time someone in the community is looking for additional skills, resource or know-how.



Simply sign-up if you’re interested in hearing about potential opportunities to collaborate/work with other… Continue

While talking about Madonna & Guy Ritchie’s divorce settlement on last night’s six o’clock news, BBC entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba stated that the £50m financial settlement was more important than reaching agreement on their children.



Huh?



What does that say about our society?



Having just spent three years in court ensuring that I can be a dad to my children, at a financial cost measured in hundreds… Continue

Okay… since nobody else has gone there, I just want to pay my respects to Oliver Postgate who passed away yesterday. Oliver along with Peter Firmin created many of the animated television programmes that I adored when I was a child.



Let’s hope that one or two 38minuters can emulate his passion, and deliver compelling innovative entertainment memories for the next generation.…

The aggregated VoD service from the BBC, ITV and C4 has been sent back to the drawing board by the Competition Commission.



From the sidelines (for me at least), this appears to be a blinkered decision which fails to recognise that although the BBC, ITV and C4 are major players in the UK …the internet is not a country-wide medium; it’s a cross-border, global medium, with global players.

Might be worth developing a version for social networks to stop ...err ...dodgy blogging during the wee small hours.

Sooooo… From a distance I had thought that Alternate Reality Games and Augmented Reality Games were one and the same thing.



Seems I was wrong.



To me, it looks like alternate reality games use various forms of real-world communication ‘touch-points’ to play games/puzzles that effectively take shape and exist inside the player’s imagination (although the triggers and action occur in the real world) …putting reality to one side by providing a parallel universe with a… Continue

By the very nature of 38minutes there should be a healthy mix of left-brain & right-brain members; with right-brainers being the arty-types, and the left-brain camp being jam-packed full of coders.



I found the image above online a while ago and wondered whether it's a hoax. So here goes... apparently if you see the image moving clockwise then you're supposed to be thinking with your right brain (the creative side), and if you see… Continue
