I’ve been at Thinking Digital today. It started yesterday afternoon with some workshops but the main event takes place today and tomorrow. If you have never been you should. Once you have been you’ll want to come back again and again. It is the must attend event of the year. So why is it such … Continue reading Unfolding plans 71 – Thinking Digital makes your head hurt #TDC15
Unfolding plans 70 – I was barred
An interesting thing happened to me the other day. I’d like to tell you about it but I was banned or at least barred. I was in a meeting with Broadband Delivery UK in the HM Treasury building on Horse Guards Road and it was a few days before the election and the cloak of … Continue reading Unfolding plans 70 – I was barred
Unfolding plans 69 – the ‘S’ word
Does the fact that you mention something make it real? It would seem so. One of my colleagues brought it to my attention that if I keep banging on about something it sets it squarely in people’s minds. This is the case even if I am asking if the subject is true or not. After … Continue reading Unfolding plans 69 – the ‘S’ word
Unfolding plans 68 – I’m really really looking forward to #TDC15
Next week I will be attending Thinking Digital 2015, one of the leading events in the North East digital calendar. I’m not sure if this is the third time or the fourth that I have been. It doesn’t matter because they are great events and I take so much away from them. They are an … Continue reading Unfolding plans 68 – I’m really really looking forward to #TDC15
Unfolding plans 67 – She was there to give a message
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Once again I was down in London the other day and had the pleasure of going through Kings Cross Station. Now I like the station and love what the architects have done with the front portico and waiting areas. It’s no St Pancras yet it is still … Continue reading Unfolding plans 67 – She was there to give a message
Unfolding plan 66 – the lone oddball
I must admit to suffering from the odd pang of... well I’m not sure what it is. I’ve been working for a while now on trying to change the way that the people work. It is over a year since I gave up my office, threw out my desk and became a nomadic worker. I’ve … Continue reading Unfolding plan 66 – the lone oddball
Unfolding plans 64 – The purpose of my visit was not architectural
I’ve already told you how I made my way over the hills and down into the dales on my way to Forest in Teesdale. The other place that I visited during April that I had never been to before was the National Savings and Investment building. For anyone who has ever been to Durham it … Continue reading Unfolding plans 64 – The purpose of my visit was not architectural
Unfolding plans 63 – I have to show you this
I was walking along floor two, on my way to a meeting with HR when someone barked my name. Three times they shouted ‘Phil – Phil – Phil’. At first I thought they were shouting for a dog but realised eventually they wanted to attract my attention. There may be easier ways of getting hold … Continue reading Unfolding plans 63 – I have to show you this
Unfolding plans 62 – Stuffocation
Before you start, I didn’t buy ‘Stuffocation – Living more with less’ by James Wallman. I borrowed it from my youngest daughter when I was last visiting her flat. She always has some interesting books to grab as if I don’t have enough to read already. We share similar tastes in reading material, a little … Continue reading Unfolding plans 62 – Stuffocation
Unfolding plans 61 – When I say remote, I mean remote
There are two places that I had never been. One was inside the National Savings and Investment building in the centre of Durham City and the other was the top of Teesdale. I’ve been to both now. Do these count as one or two of the six new things I was going to do this … Continue reading Unfolding plans 61 – When I say remote, I mean remote
