Shameless plug for DCU ahead….

A free online seminar is taking place this Thursday at 11am about DCU’s new Graduate Certificate in Digital Marketing.

DCU designed this course in collaboration with Irish industry. They found that many professionals currently in marketing positions graduated in a traditional media environment. They were asked for a short-term, rapid turnaround course with a practical skills-based focus. In response they designed a programme aimed at business/marketing graduates, or those with significant practical experience in marketing. This 6 to 8 month part-time programme leads to the award of a fully accredited postgraduate university qualification in Digital Marketing.

Full info on the course is available here.

The choir is Gloria – Ireland’s award winning Gay and Lesbian Choir.

Today I learnt a very valuable lesson – never give your laptop to a stranger.

I was in Starbucks in Dublin enjoying a signature hot chocolate before I went to work. Just as I finished I stood up to close down my laptop and a gentleman beside me asked if he could quickly check his gmail as he was waiting for an important email. I thought nothing off it, logged out of my gmail and handed him my macbook. Read the rest of this entry »
