A friend in Kenya emailed me today and told me of a plane crash. Writing about the death of a pilot I’ve flown with once is bad enough. But now to write about another so soon. Well, I don’t know what to think. Statistically flying is meant to be pretty safe. The chance of an [...]
I was just heading to bed when I got an email marked ‘URGENT’ from a German news agency wanting a copy of the photo above. I had a horrible feeling something had happened to the GoodYear Blimp and it’s pilot Mike Nerandzic. I was flying with him less than two months ago. I tried to [...]
Back in 1986 my paper round money went on a copy of John ‘Lofty’ Wiseman’s SAS Survival Handbook. I still have it. I’d managed to get a copy just before it was banned. Shortly after it was revised without the mantraps and chemical concoctions. All the bits we would talk about at school. I had [...]

There is software somewhere tracking all the IMEI’s on the phones that were momentarily clustered in the intimate auditorium of the Sage, Gateshead. A three day hotspot of creatives, thinkers, do’ers and disrupters. The transmitted signatures have now spidered their way back across the country, across the water, across the world. And the digital echo [...]
I got sent the Y-Cam Bullet last year and then when I moved home it found itself into a box, only to be re-discovered last week. Cables, adapters, wall/ceiling mount, power lead, optional sun visor etc, all come in the box. I had already purchased a Y-cam S in black over 2 years ago (the older [...]
Listen! Firstly I have to thank the soundsmith @MCFontaine for sending me this mashup created from a few of my audio recordings on Audioboo. I love what he has done and am inspired to one day.. perhaps.. trawl through the (aprox) 83 hours of Audioboo’s I’ve done in the last two years. Prior to finding the Audioboo iPhone [...]
While visiting friends in the village of Belton, Leicestershire, I experienced a street party … I took photos on my FujiFilm X100. It’s super discreet and having the fixed lens makes you work that little bit harder to get in close while all the time allowing you to really get to know the focal length. [...]
I’m loving the Fujifilm X100 for image making. It has a great sized sensor in a beautifully well made, retro-styled body. It does have its issues though. It is sluggish when taking multiple raw photos and its manual focusing is fiddly. They are not really issues that concern my use though, and I feel most [...]
This post originally appears on the Open University’s website ‘Platform’ linked here I didn’t just go to SXSW for the free cocktails, late night parties, and spontaneous meet ups. No, I had work to do and a part of that was my own research. Simply put, I was really interested to know if anyone had any idea as [...]
