SubscribeI’ve always been the sort of person who buys art which invokes an emotional spark (it is the reason why I have Robert Olley’s Coal, Ships, Fish & Chips on my bedroom wall). I love Lowry but that’s only because of the childhood sentiments. I suppose the point I’m trying to raise is that I’ve [...]
Wings On Some Wheels
He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.
IDEO – ‘Deep Dive’
Last week in class we got presented with a video from IDEO in Palo Alto and their unique brand of brainstorming called ”Deep Dive,” a sort of total immersion into the problem at hand. It’s one company’s secret weapon for innovation. I liked it, I liked their process, but you can make up your own [...]

Chat on a 4G Nano

A fish, sea monkeys or a cat?
I’ve just had an argument on the phone with an O2 customer service agent. After some confusion I now needed to change the password on my account, this couldn’t be done without knowing the answer to my secret answer. CORRECTION the secret answer and the question which relates to that answer, I needed to know [...]
Annoyance
My iPhone is docked and I’m playing music through iTunes (music that is located on my iPhone). Music is playing loudly, someone phones my iPhone, how should the phone react? Currently the phone rings, but I can’t hear it because of iTunes playing songs off my iPhone, so I miss the call (this has happened [...]
Knowledge and Twitter
For a good few months, I’ve been thinking about this idea of search and twitter. I believe twitter to be the most up-to-date information today on the web, a story breaks and it spreads like a wildfire across the ‘twitter world’ instantaneously. The problem is that the story/ information is inaccessible to the majority of [...]
