Looking for inspiration

Sometimes I get asked where do you find enough to write about? And the answer is from a multitude of sources:

I’m going to tag Jonny Rosemont, Wadds and James Gordon-Mackintosh to find out what inspires their blog posts.  Also going to be in Barcelona next week looking for web.20ish or cultural recommendations to try whilst there (the comments box is now open).

Hey Ged.

No, it’s not just you – I feel very odd writing delicious.com.

Nice post – I’m finding that recently my use of RSS is really declining. Links come to me through Twitter and also through other more direct filters like Techmeme. I also have a few key blogs in a hot pane on iGoogle that I check direct once something pops up.

Re Barcelona – a former client sent me a great list of stuff to do and see, I’ll forward it over to you – I’m sure he wouldn’t mind. I was there with Charlotte very recently. Best bit was the random theme-park on top of the mountain and then climbing up a church built on top of a church and bricking ourselves. We also found a great little restaurant called Arc Cafe I think.

Oh – and I know you didn’t tag me but I thought what the heck. I might even do a full blown post and pretend that you did.
