an ex-boss of mine once called me a “business hippy”. but i’ve always believed in the idea of social media as a force for change, and i wear a beard- so maybe i am a bit of a hippy. for these reasons i love the fact that rage against the machine is winning the race […]

Oneapp is a very cool concept. I met with them earlier today and how they encapsulated it is that it is “the appstore for feature phones”. Its a Microsoft initiative where they want to make crappy phones able to do cool stuff. You do this by downloading a thin client and they put the rest […]
the games site i have been working on for the last couple of months launched last week. it was a sterling effort by all involved, and i’m pretty happy with the first iteration. there is a lot of potential for what we can do further; personalisation, web-2-mobile, different content. but the numbers will tell us […]
