I’m delighted to announce the beginning of what I hope will be an exciting (and useful!) mini-project. Museuminaday is a concept which Dan Zambonini and I have come up with to support our workshop “The Lightweight Museum” at the DISH conference in December.

We need to start thinking about what mobile means from a … Read more
This is all going to be a little bit stream of consciousness but I’ll clean it up later… Om malik and Ryan Carson are talking about the future of web apps. Michael Arrington is stuck somewhere. Oop, no – he’s just arrived on stage… TechCrunch 40 is getting a lot of interest and the general … Read more
