Guest blogging

19th March 2008

I’m guest blogging over at Connecting Bristol this week. Connecting Bristol describes itself as follows:

Connecting Bristol is a vision for bridging the divides that hold back the city from achieving its full potential. Digital literacy is the key to social inclusion.

Our intention is that Bristol become a recognised national and international showcase for digital inclusion and innovation. Through the local to global connections that we establish, Connecting Bristol will make a difference, not only to local communities but also to the sustainable future of the planet.

In my defence, they did ask.
