BLOG The Dark Art of Toy Hacking - #Sharingeconomy I have recently been exposed to the dark art of Toy Hacking by the dudes at Exploring Senses. I am very uncomfortable with the whole thing, yet I can't wait to have them over for the next children's birthday party I accidentally have to organise. The end product rocks, it is creative and full of imagination but a part of me is just not comfortable with sawing up a teddy bear. I have always been way too sentimental about toys, I wanted to include every toy in everything. I fretted about the leg

This is where I should say “listen to the podcast” but that is too obvious. What else is obvious is that we are we
BLOG It is like there is "no signal" getting through to the part of my brain that needs to hear about the positive things. I need to write this first line to actually know where to begin. I have been walking around trying to get started with work for ages and something keeps nagging my head. That thing is this. How yesterday I was completely wiped at the end, I had to stand up on the tube so I did not fall asleep. The day had gone REALLY well, I have so much to look forward to but I was still tired and also had a deep sinking feeling of regret. Yet I had nothing to regret. I was talking to someone at an event and

BLOG Up in the air Maybe this is the most hazardous and dangerous adventure I have ever been on. I am leaping off to somewhere that I don't know, if you really questioned me I'd admit I should have done this ages ago. Over the last few weeks it has often occurred to me that I knew something was up this time last year. The thing is life is not BAD it is just stressful and hard to work out. Before my Mum died over ten years ago she was given less than a year to live, as the months passed and her "departure" got
BLOG It's not all rubbish being depressed So a cool thing happened today, I have been really really really struggling for a few days.Therapy on Monday wiped me out.Sunday I felt like someone was mashing my brain even though I spent the whole day relaxing and having fun.Saturday I deliberately unplugged and did nothing, by 5:30pm I was falling asleep standing up and could not talk.Friday, well Friday was so crap I think my brain has deleted it.What was cool today?

BLOG #Chromebook - First Contact Yesterday I picked up my Chromebook from Pensar IT on Gloucester Place. I had always liked the idea of this machine but the reviews had been crap and the leap seemed dangerous. I'd love you to think I was some cutting edge early adopter, the reality is that I just don't have the budget for a Mac Air - and I'd would get a good kick in from my accountant and Super Cool Wife if I showed up with one. So far this machine is amazing, I only really use the web so why do I need all that other crap
BLOG Building blocks for my blog It has always fascinated me how bloody hard it is to post what I write, if I have to come clean the main reason I am so interested in helping other people to get their blog moving is so it compels me further into action. The more work we do on the podcasts, London Bloggers Meet Up and meet with content creators the more I am inspired and motivated. I still return to the line that first made the penny drop for me about the Internet. I was listening to "The 8th Habit" by Stephen Covey, in the op
