Haven’t done a plain links post for ages. I’m trying to get away from lists, but perhaps a few annotated links can be a good way of tracking current interests. Or a nice Sunday displacement activity. Events…many are still completely unamplified or curated, but for this seminar on the power of social media to support [...]
Busy! Four new posts on this blog in October – reviews of (Danish) events on news filtering and open data, plus an update on my relationship with video, with links to advice for event organisers. The final post introduces my second MOOC - weekly updates on progress on #dataviz and #sna on my CPD blog, together with a post on quantitative methods [...]
Looking back on August, I duly completed my post-a-day #london2012 series - already it feels a long time ago. Much musing on how websites are getting simpler and app like, suited for reading on mobiles and tablets. See One Man & His Blog’s reboot – I do like these ultra simple blog themes but it does assume [...]
Update, 22 March 2013: the new Hvidovre website is here – I’m pretty underwhelmed. Looks optimised for mobile. Clearly a lot better than it was, but so dull.

When there’s a lot of coverage about an event it’s tempting to resort to a list of links and leave the rest to the reader. Are there any ways of automating the list creation process, freeing up some brain time, or of extracting some content to make the list slightly more alluring? Two posts last [...]
Events have a distinct lifecycle. made up of three stages. And it’s not all about Twitter. Socious discuss what this means in terms of engagement, including some interesting statistics from a recent conference. This showed a 96% drop in tweets after the conference – hardly surprising, but reflecting a lack of post-event conversation. After a [...]
I first started blogging four years ago, a short lived attempt on WordPress.com put on hold due to a year dominated by family illness and then work in a Web 1.0 environment. In the interim I did some scrapbooking/klogging on Tumblr, a personal record of my journey getting to grips with the differences between Danish and British culture, but [...]
Lawyers get a lot of flak from the plain English crowd, some of it probably justified. Don’t look at me – I’m a lost case who thought the Maastricht Treaty was a joy to read. And the former director of UKCLE, the legal education centre where I worked, wrote beautiful editorials, away from the iron [...]
