hi.

This is the homepage for mike ellis. I live in bath, uk and I do a lot of thinking, talking and writing about the web: what it means to be a part of it, where it might go next, and how technology could make our lives better if we could only make it less visible. My real life has more to do with family, music, creativity, books and living. variousbits (that's here) is for all of this.

Increasingly though, I've been thinking that I wanted a place to put (by put I guess I partly mean "showcase" and partly mean "archive"..) some of the other things I've done, am doing or might at some point do given the time. Read more or have a click on the thumbs on the left to find out more...

stuff that's coming up

It seems kind of apt that I haven't filled in this section yet...but needless to say, there's a few interesting things on the horizon. First and foremost is bathcamp, a barcamp in Bath later on in the summer which I'm organising with some other people. If you're interested, you can now book online - a snip at only a fiver...
