I was asked to give a short talk to some colleagues about product management. I opted to share some brief attempts to define it. This is hard, so I pointed to other people’s attempts. Next I shared what I think are the characteristics of good product management. This bit, since it was just my current […]

Some of my collections
I spoke at the Shoreditch Ideas Club last night, an event that Hugh Garry organises for Shoreditch House. I wanted to explore whether the act of collecting might have some additional extrinsic value beyond the collection itself. It’s also a bit of a confession (spoiler: it turns out that I collect collections) so if you […]
Some of my collections
I was invited to give a short lunchtime talk for a team in BBC Audio and Music (radio, to you and me) by the lovely Hugh Garry. In a gloriously open brief, he asked me whether I’d prefer to talk about things I make or things I collect. For some reason I thought sharing a […]
Playful ’09
Playful 09 was great. I really enjoyed Playful 08 so was delighted to be asked back. Last year I demoed my Rock Band MIDI guitar hack. This year, rather than extend my P5 Glove project into another MIDI instrument, I decided to set myself the challenge of talking about games and films. This was perhaps […]
There is no plan
My last engagement of the year was also one of my proudest. On Wednesday, I was invited to be the guest speaker at my old school’s presentation evening. This is the annual event at which GCSE and A-Level students collect their certificates and awards for academic excellence. I helped award some of the certificates and […]
ReLIVE08 Closing Keynote – When It’s All Over We Still Have to Clear Up
Back from two days in Milton Keynes for ReLIVE08, the Open University’s conference on Researching and Living in Virtual Worlds. The abstract said that Roo Reynolds has offered to not pre-prepare any slides for his closing keynote, but instead create a short presentation on the fly during the other sessions. Drawing on the notes and […]
ARG panel at Virtual Worlds London
I’d hoped to take notes during the ARG panel I was moderating at Virtual Worlds London this week, and even planned create the slides on the fly. No chance. Being on stage seems to reduce my IQ by at least 20 points. While I can pay attention to what is being said and take notes […]
Current Cost presentation at Open Tech 2008
Here’s the presentation Nick and I gave at Open Tech 2008 yesterday. | View with comments at SlideShare I really enjoyed the whole event and will try to put up some notes up about it tomorrow.
LEGO is full of WIN – my Interesting 2008 talk
Here are the slides and audio for the talk I gave at Interesting 2008 yesterday. 30 slides in 3 minutes. | View I’ll post my notes on the day later when my brain recovers a bit more. Rest assured it every bit as interesting as last year. Update: my notes are here. For now, see […]
The Backchannel
I’m presenting at the Meeting Professionals International event in London in April: the Europeans Meetings and Events Conference. (Yes, the meta-ness of speaking at a conference about conferences is not lost on me). I was invited to do something on Web 2.0 and ‘where is technology headed’. After some thought, I’ve written up some notes […]
