h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm going to come back to h2g2 because I think it needs people like me. And when I come back I'm going to start a campaign called GOYA AWARE. It's not to cultivate appreciation of nihilist Spanish artists. It's an acronym for Get Off Your Arse And Write About Real Experience. This implies that most, if not all, research for an article should be done *away* from the computer. It involves getting out, perhaps with a notepad and camera, experiencing something and reviewing it later for the EG.

Any takers?

Now you've come around to my way of thinking...

Does this mean that you'll chapmion my campaign, emblazon my slogan over your PS, even get the tattoo?

Nah. I don't do campaigns.

Fine...each to their own. Leave it to Uncle FM...

Is this a self-motivation campaign? Just wondering

Ah yes, you are Uncle FM -- of course. Always interested to read what you write.

I'm glad to see you back, and I like the campaign. THough I'm contemplating writing an article about Systematic Review, which does involve quite a lot of sitting on ones Arse..

I agree that h2g2 needs people like you. It needs lots of other types of people too.

Welcome back

Wellcome back:

We have the same discussion among journalists.

Journalists (in Denmark - and Britain and US, I'm sure) now produce the double amount of articles than ten years ago.

Double checking on facts needs a sit down in a library or with the telephone or at the computer, though.

Thanks for the welcome.

I went to the Nottingham Contemporary Art Gallery last weekend. If anything deserves an entry, it's this place, but I'll need to do a bit more proper 'field research' before I can do it justice.
