My mother, a busy GP, has accumulated a stack of newspapers that she has not had time to read. She keeps them in the hope that she will, one day, have more free time. I pointed out that she would be unlikely to want to spend this new free time reading newspapers from ages ago, ...
Continued on from Part 5, exploring what they are saying using the Phrase Net visualization from Many Eyes. Each image is a link to the applet where you can explore the text and interact with it. Change the linking word on the left - I've used space, but "and" or "is" in particular could be enlightening. I ...
If you follow my Twitter, I may have already given away the ending to this! But as a continuation from my first round, here is my experience for my second (final) on-site with Google two weeks ago. What Did I Do To Prep? Things were a little hectic with the end of Extreme Blue and our trip ...
Yesterday morning I said to @douglasgresham "let's go to Amsterdam tomorrow". He said "why not?" Flight at 4. I love Europe! # Woah most bonkers taxi driver ever! Hitting on girls in minis, teaching me dirty words in dutch. Hai Amsterdam! # Grrr don't want to take IQ test. Much better things to do in Amsterdam. But ...

On innovation and patents, "mixed-gender teams’ technology patents received up to 42% more citations than their single-gender counterparts." On need for mentoring, ...
Nervous for tomorrow. People telling me I'll rock making me more so. When they don't I think "they know I'm completely inadequate". Eep! # Anyone know of an OS equivalent of dreamweaver? /cc @fosslc # About to take off in plane/tumble dryer. Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! # Safety features announced on takeoff included first air kit... Good to know! Not too ...
Tomorrow is the last day of Extreme Blue. At the US Expo in New York last week, I stood 6ft from Sam Palmisano, and listened to him talk about IBM's vision for a smarter planet. He spoke about why we need to build a smarter planet and how IBM is trying to engineer this vision. That ...
In which we answer the question - what are they saying? I've split the tweets up into two types - at replies, and not at replies, and a third which contains all tweets. I've created wordles of each one, for each of the 20 people we were following. If you haven't - check out wordle.net. It's awesome. There's ...
