Welcome to my blog.

That’s my cat – no she doesn’t live with me, no she doesn’t have a name and no, she probably wouldn’t come to you if you called her anyways. We have a lot in common.

I’m a journalist – but this is by no means an official outlet or in line with any place that I work. I’ve been a journalist for more than 18 years now, from printing images with light on paper to be set for the newspapers to messing with codecs for video news clips on mobile devices. I’ve lead on social news, advised on news aggregators and tested too many wonderful bits of kit and technology related to news to name here.

I’ve spoken about creativity and openness at SXSW for the Digital Plant – now Click Radio show on BBC World Service. I’ve delivered a lecture at the Centre for Internet and Society in Bengaluru. I once delivered a talk for Ignite London – about cake and digital creativity.

I also make a weekly radio show and podcast – about nerdy things and web culture and write sometimes for online news.

As you can see – sometimes I write stories. Some are commissioned, some are gifts, some are in audio and some are not.

I also write odd bits of comment and opinion here – yeah, no kidding, it’s a blog right?

Wish me luck and do come visit. Oh and do make comment, it’s only polite y’know.

Naturally all of my thoughts and comments here do not represent the places I work, anyone I work with etc. It’s all my own doing.

Yah rly – JK
