Move Your Money UK launched in February 2012 in order to help transform widespread public anger with the big banks into active support for ethical and mutual banking sector in the UK.

I can?t believe I?m writing this post in 2012 but as recent events have come to light apparently some advice about ethical blogger relations needed to be published as a reminder of what it means work with bloggers the right way. And by ?right way?, I?m not even going to touch myriad of ?Don?t call me a Mommy? or ignoring Dads or other issues that come from not knowing the people or space you?re pitching. This is about general, ethical blogger relations and two specific examples of big agencies that are doing it wrong.

Today I started cutting out a new pattern - the very excellent looking Pleated Pants from Papercut Patterns (here's hoping mine turn out just as excellent). The fabric is nothing special - cheap suiting from one of those large chain fabric stores. I went into the store to find a colour fasting product (which they didn't have) and came out with two metres of this fabric for around $4 per metre.

I recently had the good fortune to lead a session on leadership and ethics for a group of high school students. It went well ? all except for one part, which fell sort of flat.

AN OPEN LETTER TO TECH JOURNALISTS

There can be little debate at this point that tech journalists dropped the ball on Foxconn. The NYTimes walked in and ran an incredible story in January after years and years of clear signs that there were incredible stories that needed telling throughout China?s SEZs, stories about our tools and how they are made, and tech journalists were at best gormlessly ignorant, and at worst, calculatedly self-interested in not rocking the boat.
