Getting on a bus to find out that your Oyster card has run out of money is an honest mistake. However the bus driver can’t just let you on, you could be chancing it. Now you’re 10 minute late - and that assumes there is a place you can top up nearby .
There is a simple solution to this. Install Oyster card readers at bus stations. Not one that allows you to top us as well - that would...

Reading the web: why Instapaper is a feature and...
I was one of the early Instapaper enthusiasts. I showed it to friends and regaled them with its ease of use, explaining how perfectly it sat into the ebbs and flows of working on the Internet. No longer should you feel the need to read everything sent your way, instead just mark it with Instapaper and come back at a more convenient time. It is a brilliantly simple idea and to paraphrase my...

A Tale from the Recruitment Front Line
Have you ever been lined up to do an interview and have the candidate not show up? It’s a normal occurrence: candidates get cold feet, they renegotiate with an existing employer or take new position elsewhere. While it’s frustrating that all the preparation you’ve done has gone to waste, in the end you can forgive someone for focussing on what’s right for them. You...

Dennis and the Rosedale Chimney
A few weekends ago some friends and I decided to tackle the the North Yorkshire Moors during a two day trip from York to Robin Hood’s Bay and back. For those of you who have ever done been to the Moors you’ll know that it’s pretty up and down, and for those who have ever cycled it you’ll know it’s a gruelling as they come.
Of all the ascents we tackled none were more...

A small thing Twitter could learn from Google+
I think it’s pretty clear now that Google+ isn’t going to set the social world on fire. The reasons for this are plentiful and not the purpose of my post, however a central theme will be the lack of differentiation between it and it’s major competitors. That said Google+ put some lovely user experience around it’s largely borrowed features, and in my opinion Twitter in...
