Like most of the Western world, I’m a little wooly today. Do bear that in mind. Inside the ‘Instragram story’ something very magical happened. Something which I’d never visibly watched happen in realtime before. Some people did a thing and the thing was fast and reactive and it did exactly what it needed to doRead… Read more »
I can’t remember where I found the video – it might have been on Facebook, I’m not sure. I still haven’t worked out the etiquette, actually, of crediting someone on Facebook who’s posted something awesome, but only on FB and chosen not to share on Twitter. Am I supposed to respect the fact they’ve decidedRead… Read more »
In the middle of my day there were 5 minutes and they went a little something like this: Via Flickr: Michael Holden @leashless aka Vinay Gupta followed me. I got an email telling me so I clicked to see who he was I read his profile I clicked on the link in his profile IRead… Read more »

But they own a suit. Do a quite aRead… Read more »

The word for this post is iteration. We’ll loop around to it by the end. So while this may look like a post about mountain bikes, it’s actually not. Outside of work, I spend quite a lot of time on the back of a bike. Sometimes, depending on the trail I’m trying to ride, IRead… Read more »
I am as guilty of the following as any other. Or at least I have been. Assorted personal experiences and work conversations have, however, started to restrain my inner ‘oooooh shiny’ reaction to new technology. Lets talk about the evolution of the web.
