Guardian media looking to hire blogger in Edinburgh (fully paid!)

The topic of citizen journalism, old/new media has been a favourite topic of mine this past week after Jeff Ullman mentioned the “death of newspapers” in his talk. To my surprise, the Guardian announced that they are building a blog focused on local media, and for some unknown reason, has chosen Leeds, Edinburgh and Cardiff. Plus, they are advertising for a position of a local blogger! And we’re not just talking about “pay per blog” type of job – but a real job. With money attached. In fact, it’… Continue

Interactive Mortgage Guide for Microsoft Surface

In the past week, I’ve been working on an interactive mortgage guide as part of an entry into the Touch Finance Competition.

After speaking to users, and looking at FSA regulations, here is one solution to making it easier to choose the perfect mortgage for you :)


"The Interactive Mortgage Guide is designed to take advantage of the multi-touch capability of Microsoft Surface to help you make sense of the variety of mortgage options available. The Natural User Interface (NUI) enables us to giv… Continue

MyPolice and Positivity

As some of you know already, I've been working on mypolice.org - a website allowing the public to give feedback to the Police.

We were pretty excited when the Times decided to write a piece on us for this sunday's paper. What resulted was this:

hey Kate - at the present moment, I'm working on developing a lifestreaming space for a new course on digital culture starting in September.

I'm trying the lifestream plugin for Wordpress MU at the moment, which is going to work well, I think.

Ask me again tomorrow and I'll probably be doing something else! :-)

Not specifically mashups, but I have had some experience of doing stuff with google maps (I released the jMaps library). What kind of stuff are you looking to do?

Hey Kate
