The shape of things to come – Microsoft’s productivity video

I first saw this video a couple of years ago at  (TEDx Liverpool), it was before most of us had smart phones and definitely before the iPad.

When I first saw it I was really impressed. My thoughts were along the lines of, why are Microsoft not showing this everywhere, this is fantastic, what an awesome company it really is. I was stunned by the vision of  swiping of one article so another appears in the news paper and the touch sensitive paper that can exchange information about it’s physical location with local networks.

This was pretty awesome, we now have with ipads and other devices that offer something quite similar and the next generation of smartphones will take us even closer still.

Making future work

Open Source City should be taking place at some point next year, this event project whatever you want to call it needs some working up and the themes behind it need to be examined also.  So I was quite lucky to be able to head along to Making Future Work conference in Nottingham last week.

Possibly the best apartment location in liverpool? Er Not.


This is taken from Parr St towards Duke st.
What was here was of benefit to the city’s cultural community – but now it is flat like jump ship rat. God damn them property developers.
