Hi there, I've finally managed to get some time and start my blog.  Its not been a big priority for me before now but now I feel its time to walk the walk and share my thoughts, notes and ideas with the web. A little late to the party but hey, better later then never. I've been watching the evolution of the web with fanatic like regularity for about 10 years now and over that time I spotted some trends, made some great connections and been involved in some cutting edge projects. Most of the time I left the shouting (or bragging) to others but now its different. I feel I have a lot to offer and this blog is my way of acting on that. You can check out my resume, see what I'm reading and observe my twitter conversations all via these pages. By the way, please  get in touch if you want to connect or if you think I can help you with something. I'm involved in lots of projects and do most (but not all!) of them for fun, to learn and for the challenge so ask away - what's the worst that can happen? At the moment I'm in Chicago, Illinois and loving it. I'm doing some networking, working on some ideas and generally taking a breath after a crazy 8 years of being involved with Oncampus which I founded in 2000. I am looking at several new opportunities at the moment and should they come to the boil I'll jump straight back in. In the meantime I intend to think, write and connect with like minded people. Over the next couple of weeks I intend to blog about a number of subjects which are generally themed around:

• The best products on the web (which I had experience of)
• Web strategies that work or don't work in the digital space
• Cool Mashups and applications (mobile and Iphone)
• Great content that you can get for free
• Current events and interesting things that don't make the news
• Commentary on/around some of the arguments/debates taking place on other blogs
• Events I've attended

I hope they are useful to you. Here we go!
