Shurely 'lunchtime achievement' - Ed
INQ FOUNDER Mike Magee has been awarded a lifetime achievement award by a Facebook group of UK technology journalists and PRs.
The group announced what it calls its version of the Oscars recently and decided, presumably because of Mageek's massive contribution to IT hackdom over the years, that the plucky chap should get the top "Pressie".
Other awards went to Finnish phone firm Nokia, for the N95, which got best gadget of the year. Best technology woman of the year was some bird called Susi Weaser. Man of the year was apparently Stuart Dredge.
The likes of Rupert Goodwins - of whom more later - Andrew Lim
and Henrietta Thompson seem to run the group, which, if you dare sell your soul
to Facebook, you can view
here.
Mr Magee, is alive and kicking despite carrying on in Soho as if there was no tomorrow, last night. When asked if he had a few words for the Inq, he slurred: "Yeah. Don't post horrible pictures of me."
Sorry Mike, that's the only sort we have on file.
He has a bog here. µ
