Understanding the meme - because there’s more to this than just funny captions.
Not sure why I’m bothering writing on my blog today, when basically my entire audience is either at news:rewired or The Guardian’s Changing Media Summit.
Seven years ago publishers were dying because they trusted Google for all their traffic. Now the same is happening with Facebook.
Another warning about the ease with which moral certainty can lead to us to slip into stereotyping in our reporting.
Listening to Oasis’s Wonderwall always reminds me of commuting by bus to Croydon to work on Hotel & Restaurant mag on the very early days of my career. I didn’t have any sense yet of how digital was about to upend everything.
Love in the city.
Wikipedia is a bit like a sausage: the more you look at how it is made, the less appetising you find it.
I cannot even articulate how wrong this is…
Listening to a 2003 playlist on Apple Music. This was the music of the year I started my blog.

My blog is 15 years old today.

There’s something very British about seeing a couple of hundred families wrapped up against the cold and wet heading off to clean a beach before 10am on a Sunday morning…

A post-mortem on Typed.com, a crowdfunded blogging platform that never really built up any momentum.

Just downloaded the content I had on Typed, a blog platform that dies today. I backed it as a crowdfunder, and don’t regret it. We need innovation in blogging, but some of those innovations are going to fail.
Still sad I never got the t-shirt though. 😉
The snow’s back, but not really settling too badly.
Hello, Goodbye: making smart decisions about the digital tools we let into our lives. @manton is quoted within…
This is me, basically: Dads hold candlelight vigil for Maplin
Signs that I’m on a deadline: I’m descaling the kettle.
Doing our bit for the birds. Poor blighters.
World Book Day. Off goes Tinkerbell to school in the snow. 🙄
Just snow dusted here this morning.

Nice to see Nosy Crow featured in the App Store today - I spoke at their conference a few years ago.
