Being a teacher for two days

Being a teacher for two days

For the past two days I have commuted towards the southern reaches of London to teach a group of business people how to use a technology product I happen to know more than most about. It has been my first experience of teaching a group, and somewhat unnerving. I am not a teacher.

Wandering Thoughts on an Early Commute

Wandering Thoughts on an Early Commute

Sitting on the train, en-route to Birmingham once again. Woke with a start at 4:55am, and lurched out of bed. Espresso at home, and a capuccino at Maidenhead have kick started my body enough to deal with the early start.
Some foolish experimentation with viral Twitter tools yesterday filled my morning email with follows from strangers. [...]
