Pinterest. The next big shiny object and must have in every presentation you give. And like I always say, you’ve got to try these things. So, I have. And have been for some time. But my own collection was a bit, er, well, a bit too me. So I decided to do a bit ofContinueContinue reading “at work – behind the scenes”

social clean up
January is typically a time for New Year’s resolutions. But I typically don’t stick to them so I haven’t made any this year. Instead, quite by accident, I found myself gaining much self-satisfaction from cleaning up the social media tangle I find myself in. It all started quite innocuously by being bored of the sameContinueContinue reading “social clean up”
no such thing as a free lunch
A fascinating article on privacy, advertising and the use of your data on social networks and the new alternatives such as Diaspora and Unthink to the accepted norm.

video cards from skype
e-cards are so last year. v-cards are the way to go and you can do it with Skype. And what’s better it’s integrated into Facebook so it’s far simpler to share with your chums than trying to remember email addresses like with most apps. I like it. Find out more on the Skype blog.

sunday no longer a day of rest
What do you normally do at about 11:15 am on a Sunday? Me, getting ready to take the little lad swimming. However it’s also a peak time for porn through video on demand. 11:15am? Not very steretypical is it? Watch a bit of match of the day from recording it on Sky+ the night before,ContinueContinue reading “sunday no longer a day of rest”
