Talking, teaching and documenting. Especially using mobile tools. Running workshops and consulting worldwide with a focus on social technology.
I think I have solved my iPad charging woes with this little dubrey wotsit. It’s called the Griffin Technology PowerJolt Micro and enables me to get the maximum charge rate of 2.1A from my solar devices/ batteries and my car power socket etc. Before using it my iPad would say ‘not charging’ but was in fact charging [...]
I’m a passenger [cue music] and between my legs is my new favorite bag. It’s made by Timbuk2 and although one of many messenger style bags I own, it’s certainly the best designed & well made. (Guarenteed for life no doubt). I have bought a number of ‘man bags’ these last few weeks I’ve either [...]
This is a very clever little bit of kit. I’ve got it to play film, photos & mp3′s. About the size of a pack of cards, it’s a USB 2.0 or Memory card reading 1080p up-scaling HDMI media player. So with an SD/MS/MMC/SDHC card or thumbdrive loaded with films.. or even an external hard drive [...]
Tim is my assigned ‘helper’ for my Web Video workshop. I think in his spare time Tim travels back to the days of the pre-wap Nokia 3310 and brings them back to the present day to sell on Ebay.
(Identity of loud passenger is protected out of courtacy) I’m sat on the train on the way to the Thinking Digital Conference in Newcastle where I’m due to be holding a Web-Video workshop and giving a talk there. Thanks to train chaos, downed cables on the Northern Line and mayhem-a-plenty, I’m not only slightly ahead of time [...]
Talking at The National Photography Symposium last week I was reminded how important photography still is to me. I never really forgot. I’ve just been preoccupied with my experimentation in multi and realtime media. Chatting with the photographers absorbed in their long term projects reminded me that documenting the moment can, if you like, take longer than [...]
The little box that arrived in the post today made me very happy indeed. (I’m sad like that.) I was told apon ordering that the Apple iPad camera connection kit would not arrive for 2 weeks. It took 4 days. Thanks eXpansys. Twenty seconds after opening the box I had a full res image on [...]
So @nick_clegg.. Do you not need social media any more? Or have you just binned the guy who was tweeting for you? Not one tweet in nearly a week. Not a single thank you for those that voted. Not even a 140 character press release saying how happy you are with your new found power. [...]
We may never know the Impact social media had in shaping our new rather bewildering government. Maybe it reached a lethargic non-voting population and changed their minds. Perhaps it taught the party campaigners to engage with more mobile tools in order to rally their troops. Maybe all it did was introduce other channels of communication [...]
