Ryan Air – The worst website in the world?
Posted June 1, 2013
I could really go to town on the Ryan Air website – it’s absolutely awful. You may say that they are actually clever and have inluded ‘Dark Patterns’ within their designs but I would have to disagree. Going on their website is like stepping back 20 years. The colours are awful, there’s no thought to… Read more »
Product Management – buzz term or here to stay?
Posted May 13, 2013
Having recently attended the Silicon Milkroundabout at Truman Brewery last Saturday I kept hearing about being a Product Manager and companies crying out for them.

The next Google Reader
Posted April 5, 2013
I’m worried. Google Reader has it’s writing on the wall and I don’t know what to do. Why? I have a wealth of read or starred articles in my Google Reader account, they’re all nicely organised into folders and more importantly I use Google Reader every day. The only thing is, that I don’t actually… Read more »

Posted September 13, 2012
The WiiU was announced today and although I’ve been present at every launch of every Nintendo console since the N64, I’m not too impressed with what I’ve seen so far.

How hard is it to achieve ACA Accreditation?
Posted March 15, 2012
A few weeks ago I attended a course in Adobe Photoshop in an effort to achieve ACA accreditation. I was really looking forward to it because throughout 2011, I had already achieved accreditation from Google for AdWords and Hootsuite so to achieve a certificate from Adobe would rank highly along side them and display my… Read more »

Posted February 10, 2012
I had wanted to have a go at graffiti for years so when I received a voucher for an hour’s graffiti lessons with a top London based artist, I donned my hoody, legged it down to Waterloo station and entered another world. My tutor for the day was Andy Seize who runs graffiti lessons in… Read more »

The future for movies: Netflix
Posted February 4, 2012
Netflix hit the UK market in January 2012 and I eagerly signed up for the free one month’s trial. I was a bit more in the know than the usual consumer because I’d been watching the online streaming market with much anticipation. Being 28, I am the perfect age for being continually exploited by Hollywood.… Read more »
