If you want a flavour of the possibilities and some imagination stimulation, watch Dion Almaer of Google in this video. It's the best part of an hour long and is fairly dry. I'm not trying to put you off - afterall I've just recommended you watch it, but for many people when Dion talks about JSON, DOJO and JQUERY they are not too concerned. ...

The more I read on the net and in the blogosphere lately the more I hear we are imminently going to be faced with major service driven organisations, such as Google, Microsoft, etc offering us the ability to use their online products in an offline world. This could be great. Google have for a while had their Gears offering, which I haven't used - being Mac bound without Firefox ...

I really like the idea of Portwise. It's a great product, allowing me to connect to a network and experience a full windows client, whilst not actually interfering with the setup/configuration of my machine. Portwise is great at what it does. However, I am not impressed that to use it successfully on a Mac requires I install Firefox. This goes against the grain of every bit of software development ...

I've been a big and loyal fan on Amazon, ever since I first started buying from the US store, before there was a UK store. I think I was such a big fan that in the early days Amazon recognised that and would send me FREE stuff as a valuable customer - obviously, I spent too much ;-) I've just gone to the site and wa-hay, they've got a ...

So, there's now a sneak peek of Wordpress 2.5 available. I've taken a look at it all looks fairly promising. There's some of the long awaited "stuff" due to land also a significant update to the administration interfaces within the suite. It definately looks promising. For me, my question is, what about my existing themes? Are they going to continue to work without modification? If they are, then I ...

As someone who lives in Google Reader (GR) and who's view of the web always starts out in GR do I need to know how many people are subscribed to my RSS feed? If I do, does that make me "virtually" vain? Over the last few hours I've been challenged to run my RSS feeds via Feedburner and my response continues to be: Why? What added benefit does it ...

Looks like Google might be helping me - and a whole load of other people like me - out in a big way. I've just seen a post to the Official Google Blog (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/google-calendar-sync.html) Which indicates Google have now launched a product for syncing my Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar. This was my life for a whole year before we started working on Google Calendar Sync, a 2-way synching ...

I suppose it is only right I follow up on my previous posting about the speculation of what would have made Scoble cry. Well, FastCompany.tv has launched and with it the video footage he promised. Having taken the time yesterday (or at least in the early hours of this morning) to see the footage I have to say I wasn’t necessarily moved to tears, but I can see ...

Let me start off by saying how pleased I was to see Wales win their 3rd consecutive game of the 6 Nations championship, meaning the Grand Slam is currently theirs - and only theirs for the loosing - not, as the BBC might have you think, for England to win! Anyway, this aside, it was a great game. I do however, have a question. What exactly is being displayed on the 2 Macbook's ...

Whilst viewing the new OmniFocus intro video I find it vaguely fascinating that in the background there are books by Nigel Slater and Nigella Lawson. Is it me or all "productivity" enthusiasts just as fascinated by food?  View OmniFocus Beginners Video On a slightly different note, if you haven't played around with OmniFocus yet, I whole heartedly recommend it. I was first switched on to it by Merlin and have to say I find it a really useful, intuitive ...
