What are you?
Happy New Year Y’all. It’s blowing a gale of rain and dark outside my window and I’ve worked through the night. No better time to formulate a post right? Something got stick in my craw over the festive period – maybe a little before and it was this – Why are sign in processes asking … Continue reading

It’s probably come to your attention that I have been working voluntarily with the excellent Global Voices news site in order to present and produce the monthly podcast. If you think I do this by myself – you’re nuts. If you read the commentary that I tend to add to the blog, then it is … Continue reading
It’s taken me forever to get a coherent thought together about being at the Arab Bloggers’ Meeting in Tunisia. I eventually put my finger on it – because it was right in front of my nose. This is a long post – skip to the end if you want the up-sum without the flavour. It’s … Continue reading
Hi, I think I saw a tumbleweed roll across my pages and as I am currently stuck at home under the weather – it’s a good time to write. If you know what day it is (and often I don’t) and the date, you may already know that it is Ada Lovelace Day tomorrow. What’s … Continue reading
At the risk of telling too many tales I’ve started another one. I wanted to get it going and well – if you hadn’t noticed this being a bit of a fictional mind dump already…. I’m still thinking about what to do with Science Fraction and there’ll be more of that later. In the mean … Continue reading
Around one thirty in the morning and a tweet turns up in my stream that says Gil Scott Heron has died. I start playing his records on YouTube and watch the mill turn online. Listening to The Revolution will not be televised. Message after message runs through twitter in real time as the message takes … Continue reading
It’s been a while, but a couple of things entwined to play around my mind in the last few weeks. I have some questions as usual. I work with, love reading, listening to and learning from citizen journalists. To clarify, for me this means the unpaid, sometimes uncredited, sometimes unnoticed by mainstream news consumers and … Continue reading
3am London BST and I should be in bed, asleep. But I’m not. I’m watching a news channel on the internet. It’s not a mainstream channel or one that you can watch broadcasting on a regular television, it doesn’t drop on a wire from an agency and it’s not available on my radio either. Since … Continue reading
I know there must be hundreds and thousands of tales like this to tell or to read. Our world seems to get so much smaller with the web. But here’s one I wanted to share because it sort of made my jaw drop and maybe it spread a little happiness. Recently over Skype I was … Continue reading
For better or worse I have been learning javascript. Mostly cutting and pasting other bits of code or debugging stuff to learn how stuff works. Today – I made my very own script! I know that pride comes before a fall and there may be some n00b mistakes – but when last checked – it … Continue reading
So – a little recap and a tape for you. A few weeks (probably more) I asked if anyone would contribute sound. The original post is here. Basically, I wanted to write to the sounds of others, mostly to see if I could do it. I like to write and as has been said by … Continue reading
The nice thing about starting a new project is that it usually means you finished the last one. Right? Yeah right… Anyways, I’m thinking on writing something else to be published in parts on here, but I had something niggling at the back of my mind to do. Just a tidy-up job really. The cuts … Continue reading
I asked this, as you can see, on Twitter a few weeks back. Friends online were kind enough to give me their thoughts and I wove them into a story about mobile. It’s not meant to be high literature. It was fun to write and even more satisfying to collect and include almost all of … Continue reading
“…try to visualise all the streams of human interaction, of communication. All those linking streams flowing in and between people, through text, pictures, spoken words and TV commentaries, streams through shared memories, casual relations, witnessed events, touching pasts and futures, cause and effect. Try to see this immense latticework of lakes and flowing streams, see … Continue reading
