For those of you who haven’t yet taken part in the glorious experience of parenthood, allow me to prepare you for one of the harsh (and, in the end, best) truths of it: There will never be enough time.

I’ve always thought that the best dialogues are the long, oft unspoken ...

Russell hits all the right buttons as far as I’m concerned. With Android devices popping up in all sorts of different form factors, custom UIs and from vendors with completely different approaches regarding OS updates (or, in most cases, planned obsolescence), it’s going to get ...

This is going to be a fairly unusual post in that I’ll be writing about work, but besides my usual disclaimer there’s nothing in it that goes against the company’s rules regarding blogging, a copy of which landed on my desk a month or so back as I was discussing with a bunch of folk what ...
