Talking, teaching, documenting. Using mobile tools, consulting & running workshops on digital storytelling..
The future of Audioboo is uncertain. Like most online spaces. But Audioboo isn’t like most online spaces. This page of blurted sentiment and opinion will probably seem a bit much to some. Perhaps I’m over reacting because something I deeply care about is threatened. I first blogged about Audioboo four years ago, not long after it’s launch. I [...]
Despite the weather warnings, cancelled trains and chaotic roads the first Multimedia Storymaking Walk was a great success. Kudos to those who made it into Cambridge and spent time with me as we discussed digital story making techniques and had a look at some of the hardware, apps and methodology. It was a lot of [...]

When I talk and give workshops I often have a slide stating my concern for the demise of stories on the web. Of course some people use Twitter for just that. Disposable throw-away comments.

I’m writing this while under the influence. Painkillers. Powerful ones. Last night I underwent an operation to fix an inguinal hernia. You can get [...]
I’m not a Journalist and have never trained as such. You only have to look at my grammar to see that. That doesn’t stop me practicing journalism once in a while. As a blogger I feel I get to have fun experimenting with all forms of story making, reporting, documenting. I’m pretty sure first personal [...]
I am currently in the process of updating a couple of Mobile Media Making courses. I’m running a number of courses in various locations over the next few weeks. This means I have to play and experiment with apps that have either been updated, or that I’ve not used for a while. Those that follow [...]
I woke this morning to a direct message from an old friend. Not unusual in itself but this old friend @CraigManganello has been dead for 1,384 days. Craig was a musician, artist and original member of Seesmic video. An online community like no other. Craig touched many people’s hearts and minds. He rarely left the [...]
