Hyperaudio for the TikTok Generation

I only really started paying attention to TikTok when a friend of mine began posting TikToks in a common Slack group. (I’m assuming they are called TikToks, at the risk of having a George-Bush-like “I use The Google” moment). I didn’t really have much of a clue what TikTok was…

When building products we always seem to be in such a rush. I write this as we enter the eighth year of working on an idea known as Hyperaudio. We managed to build the Hyperaud.io …

Decentralisation Space at MozFest 2018 — a Facilitator’s Perspective

In October last year it was my distinct pleasure to help wrangle the Decentralisation Space at the ninth Mozilla Festival in London, UK. There’s certainly been an uptick in interest since we first wrangled the Decentralisation Space in 2017 — a momentum we are hoping will continue to build. We…

Decentralisation at the Mozilla Festival

At the end of last year I helped wrangle the Decentralization Space at the Mozilla Festival in London. This was the first year such a space had been proposed, which made it all the more exciting. Decentralisation is a very diverse and apparently quite emotive subject. Spanning social movements, cryptocurrency…

Decentralise Everything

This year I found myself more “available” than previous years and decided to commit to being a “Space Wrangler” for this year’s Mozilla Festival. I was warned that it was a fairly heavy commitment, however so far it’s been great. …

Decentralise Now

It’s funny how things turn out. Six years ago when I decided to blog about my thoughts about a ‘radically new’ and decentralised web; snappily titled “P2P Web Apps — Brace yourselves, everything is about to change”, I thought decentralisation was imminent.

Trint — Lessons Learned

The Road to Trint

Gotta love KnightLab’s Timeline JS — thought it would be a great way to document my 6 year obsession with audio-aligned text and why I’ve been a little quiet over the last year. View it in a new browser window here (recommended) Originally published at maboa.it on August 14, 2016.
