Talking, teaching and documenting. Especially using mobile tools. Running workshops and consulting worldwide with a focus on social technology.
As people search for the ultimate in shiny mobile blogging tools, I’m sometimes asked.. “What’s your most important bit of kit?” In the past, without thinking, I’ve said my smartphone. In reality it’s my sim card and the data connection that it offers. I have countless ways of documenting what’s around me. Various smart phones [...]
I’m trying out ‘Covert Browser’ on the iPad. It’s not a cheap app at £1.99 but I can’t find anything else Tor enabled in the official app store. If the integration of the open source version of Tor is working correctly then this app should offer not only unmonitored Internet browsing but also access to [...]
This five part mini series of Audioboo’s were compiled, edited and enhanced with music by Mark Cotton aka @MCFontaine You can find out more about Mark here: http://about.me/mcfontaine I blogged about the Do Lectures in detail after I attended in September 2011.

Thinking Digital does the conference model really well. It’s a humane accessible version of TED. Small enough to be friendly, big enough to attract the innovators looking for and sharing new ideas. The Do Lectures do something amazing between a campfire chat and an intimate mini festival. It’s still the most amazing ticketed event I’ve [...]
During the 90′s I spent a lot of time ‘roughing it’ and wandering Europe. I’d walk between France, Switzerland and Germany sleeping under the stars and making money where I could. If you’ve ever read Narcissus and Goldmund by Hesse you’ll get the idea. I starting writing a book called the ‘Blaggers Guid To The [...]
I can’t remember the amount of times I have pestered Audioboo for features I think they should implement. They put them on the ‘special ideas board’ of which I feel I now have my own section. Many of the ideas the community put forward seem to be implemented. Many of mine must be a bit too weird [...]
For me the Do Lectures hasn’t just broken the conference mould. It’s turned it outside in. Diverse, inclusive, unbranded, organic, fluid, honest. Soon after my arrival I realised as a participant that this is not just a ride. It’s not something people are paying to see. This is an investment in yourself and others. A [...]
For me a community is not tied to a geographical area. It’s more an area of common life. I live across a number of communities. Family, friends, work, and a number of geeky tech loving groups who exist both on the web and in physical space. Some hold a fellowship of solidarity and trust. Others [...]
I seemed to have spent a large proportion of my Internet ration on Google+ these last couple of days. Not in the negative time-suck kind of way.. In the WOW.. could this be the next big thing? kind of way. I hope it is. It’s long overdue. Although I have a feeling it’s going to [...]
