Next generation wishlists for Christmas

Writing letters to Santa has changed over the years… normally about this time of year I have to vet my Amazon wishlist and co-ordinate with my family via http://www.alliwantforchristmas.com/ to swap wishlists.

The advantage it offers over Amazon's… Read More »Next generation wishlists for Christmas

Today I made a trip to DeMontford University to attend their one day conference on the Future of Creative Technology. The morning kicked off with a technology workshop with Jerry Fishenden from Microsoft.

So along comes the internet and suddenly that highly vocal individual can be shouting your praises/damnation to a much wider audience and much quicker. Even if the individual involved… Read More »Power of Recommendation

Shiny new site

Welcome to my first blog post. It’s been a long time coming, but at last I have managed to re-launch my website and blog. It’s a great feeling and fills me with optimism as it has been a long journey and I did wonder at times if I would ever get this far. But this is really just the beginning; now I have to write something interesting… The web has… Read More »Shiny new site
