I hate climbing walls. It’s my pet hate. “Hey you. Yes you. We have this free digital thing. It’s worth lots of money, but we are giving it away for free. Just go here to get it now.” They don’t tell you that it involves filling in a form that involves telling them your life [...]

A nice way to access a new feature from Rapportive
I’ve been using Rapportive since it came out. If you are not, you may want to sign yourself up. It is so useful having information on people next to emails in your inbox. It makes it that bit easier to get to know the person you are about to email. I find it especially useful [...]
Can everyone blog more please?
Fact: I can’t keep up with Twitter. I miss stuff that is going on. If ya’ all put some of the useful stuff you are saying on Twitter and blog about it, then I’m more likely to read it. Twitter is so temporary, information just gets pushed away so quickly. Blogging brings so much more [...]
Gathering data from emails
It’s kind of scary what kind of data can be gathered from emails. I came across RapLeaf and gave it a spin on our email list from Software Testing Club. The nice fancy graphs and images made it seem quite impressive. Out of 10,000 emails, 7,000 were used to build up the Gender ratio. 2,000 [...]
The Importance of Creating Memories

JESS3 / The State of The Internet from JESS3 on Vimeo. JESS3 designed and animated this for the JESS3 lecture at AIGA Baltimore [...]
I have no friends
Well, I do really have some. But if you would like to learn tips and tricks on how to connect with people on the internet (some people call it social media) then maybe you can come to a wee workshop I’ve conveniently called – I have no friends.
Starting a diary for 2010
…well I actually started it a few weeks ago. I had been wanting something to write down personal notes. I knew it had to be simple and easy to update. I came across Momento App which is for the iPhone. To be honest, it’s perfect for what I was looking for. It links up with [...]
Twitter Lists – RSS not a default
I use RSS lots and lots to aggregate and publish content. At the moment this is mostly for The Software Testing Club Feeds. I was a bit surprised and disappointed to find that Twitter lists doesn’t come with RSS. I got a tip from @rocketkeis about Twitter Lists 2 RSS. Within a few seconds I [...]
