If you’re new here, welcome!

Do consider subscribing to my RSS feed or for email updates. I’ve got a newsletter called Things I Learned This Week and you can follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Google+.

My speaking engagements and the conferences I will be/have attended are at Lanyrd (and here as a backup). I’ve got a thought journal that I call Thought Shrapnel.

I write (mainly) about education, technology and productivity. My most popular posts from each year since 2006 can be found below (last updated February 2013):
