Hello, this is my website. Thanks very much for coming to have a look.

About the blog:

Open (minds, finds, conversations)… is my personal blog, which I started in October 2005. I chose the title to be as loose as possible, but guessing that I would generally be writing about thinking, things and debates that I thought were interesting.

A few years later I worked out what blogging was useful for for me: it’s a public notebook…

The thoughts and arguments here are all works in progress, the better for being aired, challenged or added to.

Sometimes I write a lot here, sometimes not very much. But I still love it.

I guess for the sake of clarity I should add, it doesn’t necessarily reflect the views of my employer/clients/or anyone else really. But it might do sometimes.

About me:

I write a lot about the web, because I’m fascinated by it. This presentation about the web in 2010 (with audio, folks) might give you a sense of the sorts of things that get me excited about the web.

The biggest thing I have written (apart probably from the blog on this website) is a book called Me & My Web Shadow: How to Manage Your Reputation Online. It’s mostly about people needing to take care of their personal presence on the web and keeping an eye on what’s said about them.

In the rest of my life I take photos, ride mountain bikes and go on adventures with my young family.
