Kind of Digital have a team (made up of me, Fraser Henderson and Tim Wilson) working with Lincolnshire County Council on an ERDF funded scheme to bring the latest digital technology to small businesses in rural and coastal locations. This…
Last week I took delivery of a Nexus 7 - the new tablet made by Asus for Google to show off the new version of their mobile operating system, Android.
I've been playing with it for a few days, and here are some early thoughts.
That nice Mr Briggs has been encouraging me to post some stuff about hardware.
As it happens I’ve been trying out a new piece of ultra-modern hi-tech digital equipment.

I’ve had a pretty settled tech line-up for a while, which works really well for me. Essentially – 24” iMac on the desktop, MacBook Air for the portable and an iPhone for the really portable. The iMac is fine for…
My Kindle arrived today. For those that don’t know, it’s Amazon’s own e-reader, a portable device that can hold around 1,500 books in its memory which can be read by turning pages using the buttons. Even though I knew the…
