Have started teaching a couple of days a week at Glasgow School of Art, and in my role as esteemed (?) academic have taken to doing a blackboard in the studio featuring a book of the week, and a website of the week. If you’re a reader of off-brand, and you have a blog you’d like me to feature on the board then drop me a line at neil(at)off-brand.co.uk – I’ll put it on the board and subsequently 40 students may/may not look at the board this week and may/may not visit your site.
P.S. If anyone has suggestions for book of the week, would be keen to hear those also.
How about ‘Amusing Ourselves To Death’ by Neil Postman? It was written about TV in the 80s, but is more relevant now than ever.
Send the wee students over to http://www.tonguengroove.co.uk/ for some P_H_A_T beats!
