Last summer (wow, a year ago!) I made a series of short films with children, under the broad banner of “Digital Britons”. We were trying to explore their perspective on an issue which at the time was exercising the UK government. I just realised I didn’t share the final short film here on this site.
Looking [...]

The tech company I run, WorkSnug, has a no-flying policy. I’ve written a guest blog for TechCrunch explaining the why and the how. Check out the comments for more proof that it takes all sorts…

Last year I founded a tech company in the augmented reality space. We’re doing pretty well. What began as me, [...]

Bill Gates said some incredible things at TED in February this year. Perhaps the clearest elucidation I’ve heard of the problem of energy production and climate change. No equivocation, he says:
Carbon Dioxide is warming the planet… There is some uncertainty of how bad the effects will be, but they will be extremely bad… Until we [...]

Last Saturday I spoke at the National Student Enterprise Conference, addressing a group of young entrepreneurs, looking to set up businesses.
The conference was billed as “Business Not As Usual”, which I took to mean that we could look forward to two days of innovative thinking which could guide the next generation of entrepreneurs. The opening [...]

I’ve had three mid-life crises, two Damascene conversions and four dozen Big Ideas in the last few years. The doctors, rightly, call it bipolar disorder, and I have a fairly healthy willingness to being told I’m wrong, or to change direction when a wall approaches.

But two Big Ideas in the last couple of [...]

On Friday I went down to Brixton to take part in the open day for the Centre for Digital Inclusion and their Apps for Good programme. I’ve got no formal relation with the programme, but I’ll probably be giving them ongoing guidance as they progress with their programme, in my capacity as “bloke who has [...]

The magic of Twitter tells me that the Plugg conference has just put a call-out for start-ups to hire more women. It’s not something I’ve thought about much before, but doing some Googling I see that it’s not the first time the tech industry has had this debate, with some lively stuff about a year [...]

I’ve been involved in the Augmented Reality world over the last 12 months or so, with my own AR startup WorkSnug. AR is currently rather limited by being tethered to devices - WorkSnug works on the iPhone - But there are more ambitious projections for the technology. Are we witnessing the start of a revolution [...]

I’ve written a piece for BNET on loyalty at work.
I haven’t done much writing in recent months as WorkSnug has taken over my working life, but it’s nice to keep my eye in!

I’ve written another piece for silicon.com:
At the recent Workplace Trends conference, one speaker dared to ask: “Do we even need an office these days?” I thought I’d pick up this contentious ball and run with it.
What would happen if a large multi-national company, which I’ll call Company X, sold its real estate, dished out laptops [...]
