Best of the past week

Hi ,I'm working on a few things at the moment and would love to have you point of view about the Ice Cream Sundae newsletter. It will definitely help me to improve and refine the newsletter going forward.The online survey is over here and will only take a few minutes to complete. Thanks!Sundae Summer SurveyI've also published a new episode of the podcast, trying out something quite different and experimental: I went recording a conversation along with an audio review of a restaurant in Chicago with my friend JP. It's explicit too.Is Chicago's Au Cheval Burger really Worth all the Hype? (with JP Biondi)

What's sticky in the communications industry?

I came across this series, depicting 15 different types of clients particularly recognizable if you work in marketing and advertising, though the types probably carry over to other industries too.15 Types of Difficult Clients and How to Deal with Each One of ThemIt's still not as entertaining as these true stories though - bonus here, I hadn't checked the site in a long time and only just found out they have a podcast!

What's going on in gaming?

I admit I haven't played any video games in ages though i enjoy action roleplaying games types and this article reviewing a new video game coming called Tower of Time caught my attention, it seems pretty cool - and sounds like it blends some interesting ideas from American type action RPGs (e.g. Diablo) and Japanese RPGs (e.g. Final Fantasy) for some original fighting scenes and real time strategy. I don't know if I'll play though certainly enjoyed reading the article.

What else is interesting this week?

Last but absolutely not least, this Twitter exchange between two excellent writers is just hilarious.So this conversation happened between two writers I like on Twitter..That's about it for this week, thank you for reading! Another thing before I sign off, since I moved to the U.S. I haven't been clear with the time I'm sending the newsletter out. So to be clear, from now on the newsletter will be sent by 12pm U.S. Central time on Sundays (6pm UK / 7pm CET) and if you don't get it, then I'm running late.I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the survey! This is going to inform any changes I'm working on to the format and content of Ice Cream Sundae!Thanks!Willem
