I don’t know a great deal about Yoga, but suspect the position in which I’m writing this post on board the BA207 to Miami would be called “praying mantis”. After a few days of remote working beside a pool (why not?), and Sunday hanging out at BarCamp Miami, my final destination will be Future of [...]

Aside from a few tweets, I’ve not yet had the chance to blog about the big event of last week. After just a couple of months in incubation, Twestival parties were thrown in 202 worldwide cities to raise funds for charity: water, that brings essential clean water to some of the most impoverished people. Donations [...]

In December I hinted of plans for Total Hotspots to build an slick new mobile app, but couldn’t reveal any details about the platform or planned integration. Since then I’ve been busier than ever making these plans a reality with the help of some extremely talented individuals. The big news is that Rummble and Total [...]

This is the start of a couple of short posts that I’ve been itching to write about specific topics that interested me from FOWA London.

Well it certainly has been an interesting day for all things Apple. The anticipation that accompanies any Apple announcement seems to grow each time. Unfortunately there were no game changing announcements at Lets Rock, which primarily delivered evolutions across the iPod line, and my wait must continue for the long-rumored aluminium multi-touch MacBook. Expectations are [...]

There are certain things in life, such as a motorised vehicle, dishwasher or mobile phone; that you don’t know you really need. Then you can’t live without them. As a music lover, last.fm is one of those things. A service that listens to your music tastes (i.e. your scrobbles), and compares them to what the [...]

I applied for the iPhone Developer Program just over a month ago and am still waiting for the application to be processed. It really would have been sensible to have applied earlier and I’m crossing my fingers for a positive response from Apple soon. Until then Total Hotspots is working on the specification and interface [...]

So, you have a shiny new iPhone. It does (almost) everything from surfing the web to reading email and playing your favourite music. It couldn’t be better, right? Wrong. The bundled iPhone headphones are terrible! I bought a pair of V-Moda Vibe Duo Headphones about 6 months ago, and have been completely blown away by [...]
