The Social Utility
I loyally (or stupidly) upgraded to an iPhone 3GS last week. The appeal to me was the 32GB flash memory and built-in Nike+. I’ve never used Nike+ before, but I’ve always recognized it as a business idea that’s innovative on so many levels. The alternatives to Nike+ are ugly looking, expensive devices that are produced [...]
Make things
I like making things. Call me an empiricist, but I think the best to way learn something is to get stuck in and get your hands dirty. Today I stumbled across the super cool Make Magazine; their blog showcases some cool digital stuff, and also shows you how to make some pretty cool s*@!. Its [...]

Web Trois
I was called into a brainstorming session last week for a prospective client that wanted to embrace web3. Que!? I hear you say.

Gestural control starts to enter homes
Do you remember the clips below? Gestural control in SF films. It will not be long before some of what has been prophesied in movies becomes a reality. I’ve been wanting to write about gestural control for quite some time. I think it’s going be the next thing that really shakes up interactive advertising, as [...]

The initiative was devised in order to: …Ensure the UK maximises the benefits of convergence right across the economy and society, a strategy will be developed to secure four key conditions: open markets; empowered and informed consumers and citizens; universal access to public service content; [...]
EPOS of the Future
I was in Waitrose recently buying wine and bits for dinner. Our local branch in Windsor doesn’t have the self-service checkouts just yet— then again I was in Waitrose, and it was in Windsor. Earlier in the week I was buying lunch from Tesco Metro and I used their self-service checkouts. Shopping in both supermarkets [...]
