Web Mission - The anticipation builds

You would think considering I am going to meet the founders of Craigslist, Bebo, Friendster and the Guidewire Group in a few days, I would be panicking about what I was going to say... But no, it seems the only way one’s mind can deal with the enormity of what one is about to embark upon, is to focus on really insignificant things.

Robert Ashton

Earlier this week, ITV broadcast a TV adaptation of the superb play ‘My Boy Jack’. It was researched, written by and stars David Haigh as Kipling.
