I think the post I have been avoiding writing all day is this:

I am very happy here in Buenos Aires and don't really want to get on that plane at the end of the weekend. This has been one of the best trips of my life. I feel bigger, faster, stronger - that is a song BTW - I know what I mean. The blazing sun and blue sky that follows #Babybernie and I on the way to the super market to by drinking yoghurt in the morning will be missed, I am even scared what it will happen to me when I hit the rancid grey sky of London. When I step outside the door I can fee

Falling towards Tigre....

This episode is brought to you from my favourite place on earth, no not the front row of a David Bowie concert, the jetty of our friends house in Tigre, just outside BA in Argentina. I am still trying to work out how we are lucky enough to have friends that decided to ditch their flat in the middle of BA to move to the very inconvenient and very amazing Tigre. Tigre is a Delta outside BA, I thought Delta was an airline, but it is a recently formed collection of islands - recently I mean 200 ye

I think I am ok now.... and other bits

At a quick glance I could seem much more exciting than I really am, the last few weeks have been zooming to Lisbon for the European Coworking conference where I stayed in the Copass Camp with 30 other 'coworkers' from the Copass community. Then back to London where I am part of the team delivering the OuiShare Summit #6 which is split between Echo at London Legacy, 90 Mainyard, Verge Bar Brick Lane, Grub Club and Work Hubs in Euston and tomorrow the final Day is a Bar Camp / conference

“Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come to the OuiShare London Summit and change the world?”

Just another 30 day blog challenge… #29

Racing home to pick up #babybernie - I noticed the date today and was thinking how much has changed in the last 12 months. I have been ambling around listening to "Lola's theme" by the Shapeshifters for nearly a decade (hells teeth - that long!) The key line for me is "I'm a different person, turned my World around - da da da daaa" - the first time I ever heard that song was coming into dock on the River Thames on a party boat.I love the song, really love it, but it also twists me. When I heard

Just another 30 day blog challenge… #28

Near my beloved 90 Mainyard there is the GIGANTIC swimming pool that was left there when the 2012 Olympic Games moved on. As well as walking past it a lot thinking 'now I have joined I really must go in there', #Babybernie has a swimming lesson in there every Thursday. We do it on this day because I look after him on Thursday's. Yes I only show up to work four days a week amazingly I get more done in four days than I ever got done in five days. Think about how much time you spend kicking the ty

Just another 30 day blog challenge… #27

It's NIL until you ship it. I am not going to be looking back at these last 27 or so days and thinking 'that was the best work of my life' but I am going to be able to spot where the contributions are to what will happen in the future. I was lounging around on my desk at 90 Mainyard pontificating about blogging and inbound marketing - again. Poor Nils, the super smart developer lead who sits next to me. He patiently listens to y semi-insightful drivel everyday and then goes back to his code a

Top Ten Intern Tips

What do you want Maria to leave with? Tomorrow the @90mainyard crew, #supercoolwife and #babybernie say goodbye to Maria, her next stop is Stockholm to hang with the Bassett Hounds and Jon Buscall to do some grown up work. It has been a joy introducing Maria to people here in London and Liverpool, we were lucky that so many good things like Ouishare Events, Echo Event, Mark Shafer and the Pitch Day for National Business Awards with HRH Duke of York happened in the week she was here!

Your connected eco system

Here are 10 links to app and other resources that will impact how you work. All of these things use and apply myself! Citrix talk from Engaging People

Hells Teeth! I should have told you this sooner...

One of the best-kept secrets to being connected is co-working, the next best-kept secret is your tribe. I have found getting out of your "space" to co-work is brilliant for both your productivity and your soul. This is whether you work for a big shiny corporate or are a freelancer like me. In their respective books Mitch Joel and Lisa Gansky, who are way smarter than me talk about the “friction” and “collision” of ideas between people that end up being called things like “Kickstarter” “Ai

Asana and Nimble

I am loving being an early-ish adopter. I certainly was not first but I am hanging in there even though not everything is perfect yet. I could jump onto a suite of salesforce.com products that do all of this but I am loving Asana for projects and Nimble for CRM - really social CRM. The only thing that is lacking in both is a state of the art mobile app, they are coming, then they are coming and when they get here.... I spend a lot of time on the go at events and travelling, I work on tube
