In praise of Breo Watches

For Christmas, Evan was kind enough to by her Daddy a Breo watch. Much as I really like it, it is only a watch, so I’ve been amazed by the amount of folk who’ve stopped me to ask what the small, rubbery bracelet thing on my arm is over the past couple

Wigadoo, BizSpark, Seth Godin and 1st Birthday Parties

If you could see my office, then you’d know I sit in the same cluster as Lars . But you don’t so I’m mentioning it here. One of the handy things about sitting next to Lars (apart from the tidiness and general hospitality) is that he keeps me up to date

Twit T-w00t

I like Twitter , really I do, but I don’t go for all this commentary on its future as a platform. But when my good mate @voleshafter begins using it, and then (let’s leave @stephenfry and @wossy aside for a moment) Tim Lovejoy (sorry Tim, I couldn’t be

Sooo far behind…

My “starred” blog posts in Google Reader is now up to 91 items, which means I’m a long way behind. It’s taken a week or so to get back in the swing of things, and I’ll now try to make amends for an extended absence. Being away this long means that it’s

Reboot

BOOM! I’m back after a top quality 3 week break. I’d say holiday, but coping with the relatives and an excitable young daughter is not exactly super-relaxing. That said, I bounded out of bed at 6am yesterday, so I must have recharged somewhere. Now, you’ll
