Go ahead, laugh. But think about it; what is the most crucial commodity in the world today? Information. Even if you're not quizzing Number Six, you are still bound to be wading through tons of information every day even if you don't wear a cable modem as an IV like I do. Estimates vary, but

As a professional blogger, the question I get the most (after “Oh, that's an actual job?”) is how to become one. Well, gather around, because I'm about to tell you all about a glamorous world of sore shoulders and arms, hatred of unread Google Reader items and moderating comments.
The dream everyone has is to write a personal blog or a blog about something you love and “monetize” it, or make the blog profitable. The likelihood of this happening is very, very slim. Don't believe the hu...

SkyFire - a mobile web browser - is out of beta today with their latest software release. SkyFire aims to change the way we browse the web on our phones: making less about sites with special mobile versions, and more about the user experience.

Last week I attended the Media 140 conference, an afternoon of panel and speaker sessions dedicated to exploring the use of microblogging on various media industries.
One of the most interesting conversations for me was the 'speed vs. content' debate, and I actually saw this playing out as the afternoon went on.

The real title of this post should be "10 Tech things that make me laugh no matter how stupid they are and how many times I see them." That's kind of cumbersome, so I went with the above.

With the mainstream blossoming of social media sites on the web, a lot of writers I know are tweeting, Facebooking, blogging, linking and commenting everywhere they possibly can in order to get the word out on their books. A book launch is no longer a quiet affair at a single comfy bookstore, but a cross-the-globe blitz that scorches everyone in its path with your project's brilliance and timeliness.

Have you ever had that feeling when there’s suddenly nothing to do online? There you spend your days (and nights) happily surfing along, reading your favourite blogs, obsessively checking Twitter, but then something happens. You’re bored.

As you may have heard, Dell have launched a new website for women called Della ("ella ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh").

Running and gadgets never really seem to get on. Nike+ and the iPod seemed to do quite well, but if you don't like running with a big elastic band Velcroed to your flabby arm, or spending £100+ on trainers to fully appreciate the "Nike+ experience", it's probably not your cup of tea.

I’m back in Old Blighty after a trip to LA-la land, having had a fantastic time sampling in bite size chunks of everything California has to offer, and a few events like Mobile Geeks of LA & Tuttle LA.
