Oh boy, do I love talking. I could just spend all day talking about stuff. I like talking so much that I’ve decided to do it for free. At least for now. And all I ask for in return is feedback.
I have some great new ideas for talks in technology, productivity and business, and some tried and tested material that I’ve been refining. I’d love to hear what you think about them and the best way to do that is to offer you my professional speaking services for gratis.
So if you have an event coming up, or even if you don’t, check out my speaking page and contact me.
You could even get a group of friends together and book me to come and speak – or get some colleagues together in the boardroom – I don’t mind what the occasion is, I’ll do it if I’m available.
Anyone who places a booking before 20 February for an event taking place before the end of June will get my services for free, including up to 500km of travel, as required.
If you’d like to make a booking please visit my contact page and get in touch. If you’d like to learn more about me as a speaker, check out my biography or my speaking page.

But I’m not convinced that the gap the iPad fills exists for all but a small niche of computer users at this stage. Read more »
The battle for differentiation in mobile is at fever pitch. iPhone has the app store, BlackBerry has cut-rate, unlimited internet access, Android has… well… Google and Nokia has a mounting collection of services that includes an extensive, and now entirely free, mapping solution.
Nokia Maps was an early play from the Finnish mobile giant that has put it ahead of the pack when it comes to affordable mapping and navigation on your phone.
The service has been mostly free for some time, offering maps of the world and their updates to Nokia users for gratis. Voice navigation and a few other bits and pieces were levied via subscription, however – but these are now free as part of the re-branded Ovi Maps product announced by Nokia this week. Read more »
There are some things every car should have – besides for an engine and other obvious bits and pieces like wheels. One of these additional musts is USB ports. Another is high-speed internet connectivity. Alcatel-Lucent is taking us closer to the latter via its ng Connect initiative that creates an ecosystem of partners, including content providers, gaming companies and others, to develop solutions based on LTE mobile broadband.
