Welcome To My Mind

For anybody that knows me in the real world and has had the misfortune, or as I would prefer to say, delight, of sitting around when I start talking stuff and nonsense, you're prepared for what's likely to happen throughout the life of this blog.

For anybody that doesn't, well, hello; and welcome to my mind.

I talk stuff and nonsense.

A lot.

If something passes through my mind and I find it mildly curious, amusing, baffling, awe-inspiring, complete tosh, or worthy of a group ponder, then I tend to say it. Or more often than not email it at some strange hour of the night to any email boxes I feel may be willing recipients of such toot.

And it's fair to say such delights drift across my cortex, and all the squishy bits that hang around there, on a fairly regular basis.

Who am I? I'm an Oxford comma kinda guy inhabiting a world a little left of centre, surfing somewhere along "the spectrum", with an array of interesting and mildly peculiar OCD tendencies that can range from amusing to annoying, with some other fun things going on to keep myself amused.

Over the years people have asked me if I have a blog or write on social media, and if I did, well, then they would surely follow me to stay abreast of the latest toot falling out of my mind.

Much of the toot comes in the form of inventions and innovations ranging from bizarre nonsense with absolutely no real value or chance of coming to life (maggot bags), to billionaire-making world-scale game-changers, such as a virtual reality controller before the film Lawnmower Man was a thing, a mobile social media platform before MySpace was even a thing running on contemporary handsets that had funky names like "Nokia", a Just Eat thing before any of those things were things, an Air B'n'B thing before that was a thing (cool joint venture on that one), and the list goes on.

Key lessons learnt over the years include: just start, time-to-market is critical to success, and lack of funding and/or time will kill even the best of ideas.

So anyway, for the invention-hungry toot listeners, and folk that might want to hear about tech and product building, with the occasional thoughts on mindfulness, meditation, and Buddhism, or just check out the occasional doodle, rant, or musings of a left-of-center mind... I started a blog. And here it is.

Let's build a thing...


Legal Disclaimer: If I write something on here, no matter how bizarre or real it is, I do consider it my intellectual property (IP), and if you'd like to make it real, get in touch. Let's talk. I rarely check if something I think up is already a thing. It takes the fun out of it. Although if I'm going to pursue something then I will slip into professional mode and do all the good stuff I do as a professional in the innovative tech space to bring ideas to life.
