I’m digging digg at the moment particularly seeing news ‘move’ in real time. It’s quite compelling – not particularly radical, in the sense that there [...]

I haven’t been able to shit straight lately for work pressure and family life. I’m a kinda of believer that you make your own time… you have the ability to slow down and speed up according to the activities you are undertaking. Quite what that means practically I’m not too sure. Quite how I convey [...]

Ben just alerted me to this new service from Amazon [but now I see it's gone meme mental..]. When we think of interfaces between human beings and computers, we usually assume that the human being is the one requesting that a task be completed, and the computer is completing the task and providing the results.

I’ve been thinking about open systems, the Long Tail and branding a lot lately and Jeremy Zawodny’s talk at OpenTech2005 and some comments he made over lunch made me think that Yahoo! is a great example of a company where the brand is created through the customer, information and their filter [in this case their [...]
Good to see the digital divide getting some airing of late. Firstly The Observer showed that girls can be at least as geeky as boys, blowing the myth of a gender specific hot wired physiological need for all things tech and shiny. Alice, Paula, Molly and a world of others have been proving that for [...]
Murdoch starts his move into the online world that he’s so publicly dissed in the past [FT subscription may be req'd]. News Corps purchase of Intermix is a svavy move in my opinion. Interdix owns MySpace and is one of a growing band of digital / online companies that are almost in the black! A [...]
My usual fascination with all things spatial has been satiated for today. Just seen the BBC Streets of Cardiff project which has a nice Google map type app, though it’s somewhat counterintuitive in its navigation. It weaves in some good naratives from users – though it takes you to a flat page for the content [...]
