December 3, 2021 | Footballās big clubs donāt want change - thatās why fans must speak out | Fans have been calling for changes to the way that football is governed for years. Clubs in the English Football League have lurched from crisis to crisis, with self-regulation seemingly powerless to intervene. |
November 21, 2020 | Why I stopped using Facebook | From 2010 to 2019, I was quite comfortably the Most Online person that I knew. I joined Twitter back when shortcode messaging was still encouraged, I was a day one user of Instagram for Android, and I was one of the few people on this planet who genuinely loved Google+. |
July 26, 2020 | Where are Manchesterās e-scooters? | Iāve liked electric scooters for a long time. Iāve used them in a couple of countries to great success, and Iāve advocated for their introduction in the UK. In our current climate, such a socially-distanced, environmentally-friendly way of getting around should be welcomed. |
June 14, 2020 | Digital archiving, the internet, and my brain | It is not for the archivist to pass judgement, but to evidence without fear or favour to those that will: the more data that we can capture to ensure that reality is not lost to the annals of time, the better. |
May 16, 2020 | Openreach, Open Competition | The problem with Openreach isnāt a lack of state control. The problem with Openreach is almost precisely the opposite: the state has granted it near-monopoly over broadband infrastructure in the UK with no repercussions for poor service. |
May 13, 2020 | Remote, Remote Working | Setting up a desk at home and returning to the company of my own thoughts, hammering out a few hundred lines of code in the process, would ordinarily be a walk in the park. But this isnāt ordinary. None of this is ordinary. |
