About the WordFrame team in Plovdiv

by @ Monday, June 30th, 2008. Filed under Design, Enterprise, Social Software

One of the key reasons I got involved with ITBrix and WordFrame, first as a partner, and then joining the company with a stake in the business, was the quality of the development and support team that George has put together over in Plovdiv. I did a trip report on the WordFrame blog for last […]

Adding a Jawbone, but Jeremy Clarkson will take the proverbial

by @ Wednesday, January 16th, 2008. Filed under Uncategorized, Design

Holding a mobile phone while driving doesn’t make any sense from a safety point of view, but the recent crackdown here in the UK could make it damaging to your wallet and driving licence too. As well as fines and points on your licence brought in last February, there is extra awareness starting next month. […]

The future of digital image display technology - Seadragon and PhotoSynth

by @ Friday, July 13th, 2007. Filed under Social Tagging, Design, Ideas

I’ve posted several times about Jeff Han’s multi-touch screen holding the future of how we’ll be interacting with our PC’s and the Internet. The iPhone has a little of the multi-touch capability, but I’ve just seen something that might be even more impressive from a few months ago. This might be old news to some, […]

OpenCoffee Club - cool cards for bloggers - "where did you get those then?"

by @ Thursday, May 3rd, 2007. Filed under Business 2.0, Design, Networking

Today I dropped in to the London OpenCoffee Club to meet up with Dennis Howlett, Sam Sethi and some others. While I was introducing Dennis to Cristiano Betta and Stephen McCurry, Cristiano handed over one of those cool, small business cards that I’ve seen bloggers use. Dennis showed his and they started to discuss the […]

Grazr - what a brilliant tool to enhance your blog

by @ Friday, March 23rd, 2007. Filed under Blogging, CMS, Design

I’m always envious of people who have Grazr based widgets in their sidebars. So much more dynamic than a static blogroll. I’m part way through designing a makeover to Business Two Zero, so I took time out of the working day to spend a few minutes researching where to start to learn what to do […]

More multi-touch screen from TED 2007

by @ Wednesday, March 21st, 2007. Filed under Design, Ideas

I’ve blogged before (twice) about Jeff Han’s multi-touch screen, but you just can’t get too much of this thing. Loic Le Meur got this personal demo from Jeff of his latest prototype, 8 foot, wall display at this year’s TED 2007.
 

 What can I say?

Did you miss Guy Kawasaki yesterday?

by @ Tuesday, March 20th, 2007. Filed under Presentation, Design, Ideas

Last week I warned you that you should attend Guy Kawasaki’s presentation on the Art of Innovation on the first day of the Microsoft 5 day Small Business Summit at Redmond starting yesterday. You could have booked and attended live and online. Did you miss it? If you did, a recording will be posted on […]

Weekly SaaS Roundup - w/c 2007/03/12

by @ Tuesday, March 13th, 2007. Filed under SaaS, Web 2.0, Design, Strategy

I’ve decided to start doing a weekly roundup of SaaS related issues. This idea is shamelessly lifted from my friend Ismael Ghalimi, over at IT|Redux who does a great weekly roundup for Office 2.0. Whereas each of his roundups covers a particular product aspect, mine will pick up on news items, interesting links I’ve spotted […]

Where did Live Writer and OneNote come from?

by @ Monday, March 12th, 2007. Filed under Blogging, Office, Wikis, Productivity, CMS, Design

Over the last few weeks I’ve been musing about innovation and the software development process, partly because I’ve taken on a number of new Microsoft products and have been wondering about their origins, and partly through discussions with various people comparing what small teams have achieved set against those in much larger companies. Over at […]
