Welcome
Hi, I am a technologist and author, living and working in London. My consultancy business offers companies advice on product strategy and origination for the web. I've a background in psychology, which encourages me to think in terms of individuals, groups and systems.
I've written a book for O'Reilly on creating social software and web applications, entitled Building Social Web Applications, it was published in October 2009 and is available for order on Amazon UK
Some things I'm thinking about at the minute: building social software; balancing data and the personal; activity theory; local community information systems; climate change and green computing; long term identity on the internet; hacking electronics; and watching my sons grow up. I enjoy cycling and being a Dad.
Have a look at the pictures, projects or presentations for more information on my work.
