What’s going on in your neighbourhood?

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

There are a lot of disconnected pathways in Northern Ireland. It's plain we don't talk enough and even when we do, we don't spend enough time listening. In the Digital Media and Technology space, this means you can have weeks with nothing on and weeks where every day has something ...

BarCamp Belfast 08 mini review

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Things that interested me most... Emma Persky's Feature Recognition.

From Bedouin Tents to the Big Top

Friday, March 28th, 2008

For a long while now I've been a proponent of 'Bedouin' working, which is known a little more in the mainstream as 'co-working'. Whereas co-working speaks to me of a common, shared space for individuals to work, Bedouin speaks of multiple spaces, some of them dedicated and some of them ...
