So Data Liberation or Data Portability? They sound like the same thing but one is a adhoc group of people working together and the other is ummmmm, well run out of Google's public policy. Imagine you want to move out of your apartment. When you ask your landlord about the terms of your previous lease,…
Getting a load of blog posts out before I go out on the town tonight it would seem.So my thoughts on Symmetric Follow and Second Twitter Accounts. Well I don't own a second Twitter account unless you maybe count the Geekdinner one I setup ages ago and the BBC backstage one, I'm still considering setting…
So its the very eve of 2009 and I've been thinking what should I be doing for 2009. But before that a review of how well I've done in 2008 seems like a good idea. You can find the full post from Jan 2008 here. Finally go to Tokyo Well this never happened, but only…

Yes! The O'reilly team have finally got it going on in Europe. Last year's Web 2.0 Expo somewhat sucked, but for the wrong reasons. The venue was terrible , I mean worst that anywhere else I've been. They placed the expo in the middle of this huge lifeless exhibition centre and the staff made everyone…
Not long till I jump on the flight to Berlin and I'm trying to finish some vital work and work out what I need to pack. While downloading a map and working out where I'll be at what time, I found this site linked from the BarCampBerlin3 site. Although the Flash object will be useful…
Back from the Future of Webapps and it was a good one. Lots of interesting talks around web applications and the web generally. I unfortunately could only be there on Thursday, but I did make it back for Diggnation Live (number 172) on the Friday night, which was pretty mental again.Without sounding negative, it was…
So I have laid down the money for the flights and I'm going for sure now. I decided to go via Liverpool Airport, because getting to Luton Airport was always going to painful from Manchester. It either ended up with me sleeping at the Airport, Traveling on a Coach for 5 hours or spending time…
So I started to write a comment to this TechCrunchUK blog post. But decided it was worth writing a blog post instead.So a quick overview of the blog post. Mike Butcher went to Dublin to check out Digital Hub which is funded by the Irish government. He then launches into a pled for the same…
You can't make these things up. But today I was running a little late for my training course and guess who was the reception of the BBC. Yep guessing by the title of this blog post, I did meet Lucinda. It was pretty brief and she was very personable, the kind of person you could…
So I've not really said much about my love life for a long time. You know its been a year since I've been single and I've been thinking about love and what makes a good quality relationship for a while now. When Carl Honore stood up at thinking digital conference and talked about the slow…
I filmed this a while ago after the first few days of using the pacemaker. Hopefully it will explain what it is and how it actually works. Who knows maybe I might do a live demo at BarCampNorthEast or bring it out at the Geekdinner this Friday. Comments [Comments] Trackbacks [0]

Ok I've not said anything about Ashley Highfield leaving his position to lead on Kangaroo from director of Future Media and Technology. You know I always get into trouble for saying stuff about work on my blog, and yes I know the press could use my words as BBC employee says, but I can't help…
So its my last full week in London and I'm kind of sad and kind of happy. I've finalised the apartment I'll be renting and the relocation company are moving me at the end of next week. The apartment is just off Albion Street which is in the South of Manchester (some people call it…
