Goodbye, farewell, but not for very long!
Hello. If you read Becca’s blog or my Twitter feed you’ll have realised by now that we’re going on holiday. It’s our first holiday since September 2009 so we’re understandably quite excited. By quite excited, we packed our suitcases last Friday. We don’t fly until Wednesday. Excited is an understatement. So we’ll be leaving for [...]
Facebook ‘Like’ button and ‘betweeness centrality’
Everyone knows that I’m a lot bit of a geek when it comes to network theory and the internet (basically because the internet makes understanding networks about 8,345,134 times easier). So when Facebook announced OpenGraph I practically wet myself. Now this isn’t going to be a post about how Facebook OpenGraph will make the web [...]
The perfect sunset, for the perfect weekend
So this weekend was perfect. In the truest sense of the word. Here’s why… Friday – an evening in with Becca Caddy and Lost (we were catching up before the finale on Monday at 5am). Saturday – I woke up (naturally) at 5am, attacked a PowerPoint, made it bleed. Had breakfast with Becca on the [...]
Creative ideas: seven steps to have more
Creativity is something that you cultivate, not something that you’re born with. At least that’s what I was told at University. Look how that turned out… I’ve been doing a lot of data manipulation and analysis recently, so when I have to switch my right side on it can be a bit challenging. So I’ve [...]
Online network theory and politics
I love a bit of network theory, so I thought I’d write down my ideas on how political parties can reach audiences more effectively and reach further into the network. A few things to point out initially; This post is not designed to show any political bias (I am, in fact, a libertarian)(I work at [...]
Where I want to be…
Culture / Exploration / Geek / Innovation / Public Relations / Social Media
February 8, 2010 View CommentsI’ve come straight from reading a post on MediaBistro about Alex Bogusky being promoted and retiring at the same time – those crazy advertising kids! But something that Mr Bogusky said really resonated with me, he said; “I had one seemingly impossible dream when I started in advertising and that was to leave the industry [...]
Mobile browser market share
I thought you might like this, it shows how the whole world accesses the internet using their mobile. And it’s from the ever-impressive iCrossing. Word up.

The psychology of your online persona
I’ve just started reading the FutureLab blog and came across this amazing guest post from Laszlo Kövari called the emergence of identities. The post basically describes three states of identity; Potentially Virtually Actually What struck me as interesting was the way that an identity develops from one to the next, as someone pushes themselves forwards and further [...]
Krugman’s effective frequency
Beware, I’ve been reading.
Runaway weekend
I’m beginning to become a fan of photo and video. Video because it’s fun to watch Paul make a fool of himself making elephants out of balloons and because it’s fun to make Becca feel silly. Photo because I really like the idea of sharing where I’ve been so that maybe you might go too. [...]
Spleen-tearingly funny videos
As some of you might have noticed, I’ve been a bit tense these last few days – a combination of deadlines, gym times and no-nap times. So I thought I’d share three videos that, regardless of how foul a mood I’m in or how nasty I’m being to the ever tolerant (and always lovely) Paul [...]
Roll up, roll up: Media Camp Nottingham
You heard me, Media Camp Nottingham is happening. Tomorrow. OK, I realise that I’m writing this a bit late, but you should turn up, rock out and learn a bit, yeah? For those of you that don’t know, Media Camp is ace (‘mad-props’ to Chris Hambly). It’s an un-conference were loads of social interweb folks [...]
