A not so gaping void

I ran across a reference to a post in the blog gapingvoid: “cartoons drawn on the back of business cards”. It’s written by a chap named Hugh MacLeod.

I found the reference via one James’s blog posts, On Jon Udell, freedom, talent management and the New Patronage economy, as Hugh has popularised the notion of “microbrand.”

I was going to write about this, and I’ve kept the tab open in my browser for over a day, but to be honest, I don’t really have the time right now.

I also realized that I had come across this blog before. And it had the same quality then that it has now — it is very, very witty.

So if you want to see a very creative blog, venture into the void. You’ll have lots of company, as I just noted his blog has a technorati rating of 137, which is an amazing accomplishment.

The cartoons are also fun – a nice lagniappe
