  • Old Tabs: Part 10

    2024-12-08

    My habit of keeping interesting things open in tabs on my mobile is still WAY out of hand. So I'm challenging myself to blog them as I close them down. 10 a day. This is part 10. You can call it part 1 of season 2 if you like.

    With the release of CommandUI there has suddenly been a lot of people looking deeply at how my own product Turbo Admin works. This post addresses some of the philosophy behind Turbo Admin, and clarifies some things about the tool that aren't necessarily obvious.

I think this book fits into the category of post-scarcity sci-fi. It’s Doctorow’s first novel and is actually released under a creative […]

    If you just read my review of Seth Godin’s “Tribes” and now read this you’ll probably think I’m in a right grumpy mood. But I’m not. But the truth is, I was disappointed by this book too. Mostly, I wasn’t expecting it to be so biographical. Campbell is very open about mental health and a […]

  • Book: Tribes – Seth Godin

    2024-08-26

    I have a proper day off so I’m catching up with some writing/sharing. I’ve finished a few books recently, which is very unlike me! I have a few Seth Godin ebooks lined up in my wishlist on Kobo. This one got reduced to super-cheap and I bought it and read it pretty quickly. It’s not […]

    The eighth set of ten links as I close down my open tabs on my mobile. Graphic novels, excellent articles, pen pals, PHP maps, and updates that I hope I did!
