Crackberries in the Oval Office
I suppose it might just be a convenient excuse to kick the habit, but I really don’t get why it’s necessary for Barack Obama to hand over his Blackberry when he enters the Oval Office: Lose the BlackBerry? Yes He Can, Maybe For years, like legions of other professionals, Mr. Obama has been all but addicted to [...]

Organising in 3D
This has been kicking around at the back of my subconscious for a while, partly born of frustration with organisation systems like GTD. It’s not that there’s fundamental flaws with them, so much as there are fundamental limitations to how organised I can be. That’s partly why I don’t have a [...]

Market Tweets
I’ve been playing around with making things Twitter again, inspired by Tower Bridge and my previous efforts with the Shipping Forecast. The bridge has been very “successful”, at least judged by the off-Twitter attention that it got - I’m not completely happy with the Shipping Forecast though, because I think I’m trying to push [...]

More than just a website
One of the things that I try and emphasise when talking to clients is that a website is much more than it first appears. It’s better to think of a site as an application in its own right, in the same way as you’d think of a web browser, or an inventory management system, [...]

Cheap and cheerful
Glyn Moody points to a Russian press release which is announcing that Russian schools are switching over to open source software, and contrasts that with the virtual monopoly that Microsoft enjoys in the English education sector. As he points out, that’s primarly down to the virtually-total Microsoft centricity of Becta, the educational technology [...]

Left hand, right hand
On the left: The government has committed the UK to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by the middle of this century. Climate Change and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said the current 60% target would be replaced by a higher goal. And on the right: The government is fighting to head off a backbench rebellion over its plans to [...]

More accessible
From the BBC: “Patient files ‘more accessible’” The health service is to invest £300m in the next 10 years in information and communication technology. The investment will mean that anyone in the health service, whether they are in a GP’s surgery or a hospital ward, can access a patient’s records. I sincerely hope that it’s NOT going to [...]

Pointy haired, or fluffy?
[Crossposted from the Headshift blog] A few posts ago I mentioned some models of human motivation that might help answer the question, “why would anyone bother contributing to social media?” The best known model is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, but as several commenters pointed out, it’s a pretty simplistic model that doesn’t really stand [...]

Data and Government 2.0
[Cross-posted from the Headshift blog] mashup*, who bill themselves as a “membership based community of executives, entrepreneurs and investors affected by and working within the commercial application of digital technology, products and services” put on an event last night looking at “Data and Government 2.0“. It was held at the splendidly-named Speechly Bircham, which despite sounding like [...]

Recession isn’t sharpening this act up
Picking flaws with recruitment agencies is something of a shooting-fish-in-a-barrel process at the best of times, but since the financial climate has become cloudier it seems that desperation has begun to set in. I never, ever, ever - and I mean ever - deal with an agency that sends me an unsolicited CV. It’s rude, [...]

It’s (less grim) up north
A neat example of the differences between the UK and Sweden: Sweden’s Foreign Minister calls his new Mac ‘a new world’ Former Swedish Prime Minister (and now Foreign Minister) Carl Bildt has, “after much reflection, examination and discussion” decided to switch to a Mac. (link) This being the UK, we’d have some Ministerial nonentity regurgitating a press release [...]

Why do people contribute to social media?
[Crossposted from the Headshift blog] On the face of things, it’s a tricky question - why would someone spend valuable time and effort contributing to something like Wikipedia? In a work environment, how can you persuade people to contribute their hard-won expertise and knowledge into a corporate wiki when they’re already doing perfectly well at [...]

Social Leverage Points
[Cross-posted from the Headshift blog] One of the advantages of working somewhere surrounded by really smart people is that you get to hear about what they think are really cool ideas. Tom Taylor’s personal blog led me to a paper by Donella Meadows, late of the Sustainability Institute on “Leverage Points: Places To Intervene In A System“. [...]
