I am a web designer & developer based in Galway, Ireland. Information on my work is available from my company site: Ambient Age Web Design.
I am also completing a PhD in Information Systems. My research is on the Adoption of IT Standards for technologies to support Ambient Intelligence.
I’ve been posting quite a view videos recently, which is strange because I don’t spend that much time watching them online….but I thought this one was worth sharing. It’s a documentary about new forms of collaboration and social media technologies.
I came to it via a tweet by @marklittlenews last night. It seems to [...]
Galway, New Years Day, 2010
Came across this great video – someone in Failte Ireland or Look West should be giving him money for it and using it to promote Galway.
Had to take an unexpected / unplanned trip to Singapore on Tuesday. Lovely place.
There’s a few other in a set over here.
Bumped into this last weekend on Patrick Street in Cork (some pretty shakey camera work…but you’ll get the idea).
The guy dancing up in the window was the best bit!

TwitEye streams ideas for new applications and services based on questions asked by Twitter users, so, for example, “is there a service that lets me translate news feeds into different languages?”. At [...]
FineTuna is a web application for sharing and collaborating on images. It’s a nice idea (with an odd name), and another really nice & simple design by the folks in Spoilt Child (this is the second service they’ve had Tuesday Pushed – here’s the first one I did). It’s a good thing when an app [...]
This time around, the Tuesday Push is the newly launched Decisions for Heroes . Their pitch is:
We’re helping emergency services save more lives by making better decisions. Decisions for Heroes is a collaborative rescue team management tool, that helps record and analyse rescue operations
When they say they’ve launched a web application “that saves lives”, it [...]
Yes, yes. It’s Wednesday. As that’s out of the way, this time around the Tuesday Push is RevaHealth. In their own words, RevaHealth is a:
…healthcare search engine. We gather the information you want about health clinics in the UK and Ireland, and further afield, and display it all comparably.
I’ve come across RevaHealth in the past [...]
