not delicious at all
Sorry about the latest weirdness on my links feeds from delicious… no sure what’s going on. Trying to fix things.
People-less services
Let’s start with an anecdote: I spent Friday on the go on a mad one-day trip to Amsterdam and then Eindhoven and back to London. Not as mad as you’d think, it was a totally self-indulgent decision I took at the last minute and ended up meeting old friends and new ones. Just lovely to… Continue reading People-less services
