Marc: My Words

As a serial hoodie wearer, I liked this from Clementine . Probably needs to be a little more 'Jack Bauer manbag’ for me…

My fingers have recovered from yesterday. Not from the typing, but I jammed my hand in the door to the buffet room. Lots and lots of buzz yesterday – spent a lot of time talking to developers who basically had one thing to say: Windows Phone. What’s following...

It’s a few minutes before the keynote for Day 1 at MIX. Feels to me like it’s been one of the most highly anticipated for a couple of years. Having been in Vegas for a couple of days prior to today that’s certainly the case for me. We had an unplugged...

Excellent!

Just after I mentioned this cool flashlight interface , Mashable points me at a nice video from Chris Harrison on Skinput which is some research collaboration between himself (at Carnegie Mellon) and Desney Tan and Dan Morris from Microsoft Research....

As Mike said, I’ll be helping out on the Client development day at TechDays in the UK. There’s a great line-up for that day including Ingo Rammer and Ian Griffiths, so from my keynote, things can only get better… Still time to register – take a look....

Spotted elsewhere, but Stevecla is where I first saw this great demonstration of a game running across a Win7 PC, A Windows Phone 7 Series device and an XBox. It’ll never catch on :) Talking of phones (which we sort of were), worth a look at Charlie’s...

Talking of travel and discovery: ever felt a bit stupid when you’ve held up your iPhone in front of your face whilst wandering down the street to take advantage of some augmented reality application or other? I have. (Actually, I’ve felt more like a target...

Probably the mother of all SatNav errors given that I’m actually heading to Paris, France today. It’s the first time I’ve used St. Pancras for Eurostar and never have I seen so many people drag so much luggage up stairs with no escalators. Still, I’m...

Badge concepts on the web are interesting ways of motivating people to add more and more detail to their lifestream. I guess it was just a matter of time before they physically manifested themselves. Check these out over here , and thanks to SwissMiss...

Sure, the cloud is cool and all that , but there are times when you just need a standard PC and printer rig. This is one of those times. HP - invent from Tom and Matt on Vimeo .

Saw this on Techfluff . Posted on March 1st and already had – deservedly so – 3.5m views.

Just finished watching Steveb talk ( video will be up here in a bit ) – at the University of Washington - about the cloud. He described “5 dimensions of the cloud”: The cloud creates opportunities and responsibilities. The cloud learns and helps you learn...

There’s an old Steven Wright gag which goes: “Some friends of mine went on holiday. They sent me a postcard with a picture of the Earth on it, and above it in large letters ‘Wish You Were Here’. And I was”. From this high, it sure is pretty – and this...

There was a brief blogging hiatus last week (I know, I know, you didn’t notice…) as I was away at a management think tank thing. As usual with this sort of affair, there’s some kind of team building activity alongside the discussion and actions arising...

Liked this visual in the Guardian (from David at the Information is Beautiful blog ) on where your money is spent at the BBC.
