off to glasgow

2 Comments

I’m off to Glas­gow today for a while, to work on the Hallam Foe pro­ject. I’ll be there a lot for the next cou­ple of months.
And after that? Who knows.
As the inter­net gets more power­ful, geo­graphy gets less of an issue.
I like Den­nis Howlett’s set-up. His blog dri­ves his busi­ness; the lat­ter he runs online from his home in a small Spai­nish town. Where a good meal, washed down with plenty of wine costs about $20.
The older I get, the more I like this type of “Glo­bal Mic­ro­brand” busi­ness model.
Which is why I’m so obses­sed with the con­cept. You get to a cer­tain age, and it’s no lon­ger about the money. It’s about sove­reignty. To paraph­rase Napo­lean, I can always win back lost terri­tory. But a second of time, never.

   C’est le bon!
