I have never ever ever ever ever tracked and reviewed what I do so deeply as I do now. Short post – I am making serious progress in my “days of massive action” quest. Longer Post It hurts when I miss something, fuck something up, feel shit, get low on energy, low on money, low […]
7 key tips for using Trello for Scrum software development
Over the years, I’ve coded and managed 100s of web and mobile development projects. Most of them were delivered using Scrum or related agile methodologies.

My Cheeky Landing Page Question Stunt
I thought it was just me? I am quite sure that I am the ONLY person in iTunes who has thought of asking the listener what they’d like to ask the guest. So here is where the idea came from. The best panel events I have run have been Q&A all the way. I always […]
Three Stories That Pissed Me Off This Week
A couple of the things that piss me off in the world are manipulation and outright greed. As you know I am a huge fan of tribes, communities and collaborations.

Death Camps and Doughnuts
I have a few doughnuts on my plate and there was one I was looking at with enthusiasm. Then someone took the jam out of it. Well, of course, they didn’t. I did. I tried something and it did not work and I am a little pissed off. However, the reason I am pissed off […]
Getting it all in.
As #Babybernie has grown up I have shouted “focus” at him when he was doing things like learning to eat with a fork for the first time or was holding onto the sofa to try and walk. This killer comedy line has come back to bite me in the arse. The arse bite happened at […]
Drowned and the Saved

As the TV in Westfield shopping mall in Stratford showed pictures of celebrity chefs making street […]
Working Out. Loud.
This is going to be very very very short and even sweet. What is that image Bernie? It is one of David Bowie doing some Ziggy and has been hanging out in my media files for AGES. It has nothing to do with the post. ANYWAY I am here at 90 Mainyard trying to get […]
Under Pressure – Childhood to Fatherhood to Fascination
