Below is a long blog post about 5,000+ words and several paragraphs. I hope you find it as interesting to read as it was for me write! In June of this year, the world lost an incredible man: David Bowie (1947-2016). For many people around the globe who were inspired by his music or style he will always be “the Thin White Duke.” But in my life, he’ll forever just be Uncle Terry.…

Below is a long blog post about 50 ways to get better at public speaking. I wrote this for the new book “1,000 Ways To Be More Creative”, due out later in April - you can see it here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ways-More-Creative-ebook/dp/B007L2ZIYE/ref=sr_1_6?s=digitaltext&ie=UTF8&qid=1349483029&sr=1-6 So if that’s your thing and you want some extra reading material (or even just another excuse not to do anything productive), then have fun! :) Below is a long blog post about 2018.…

Below is a long blog post about 40 years of the CERN. It’s nice to read it. But I think most people will not do so because they want short pieces, with pictures and videos (and this is what we are going to have in the future). So here you go: A video from CERN about its history, made by a young Swiss filmmaker, who has won an award for his work.…

Below is a long blog post about 2015’s first half. I want to share it with you because, as the title suggests, there were lots of things going on behind-the-scenes in my life this year so far that have influenced how much time and energy I was able to dedicate towards writing new posts for my site. I also wanted to write something up here before taking an extended break from posting anything else other than some links over at Twitter (because they are easier to produce).…

Below is a long blog post about 3D printing. It has been cut down to fit the format of this website, but I hope that it will be useful for those who are interested in knowing more details than can usually be found on the web! A few months ago an e-mail from a friend arrived asking me whether or not we could use his old desktop computer which he had recently upgraded and no longer needed at home.…

Below is a long blog post about 1970s cinema. It was originally published on Facebook, and then reposted here at my own request to avoid the possibility of it being deleted from FB for violating their Terms Of Use (I don’t think it did). As such this might be of interest to some people… but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend reading all of it if you are not already interested in this particular topic – it can get quite involved!…

Below is a long blog post about 10 things you should know about the new Google Plus platform. Google+ has been in development for at least two years, and its rollout this week was not without some glitches (notably the fact that it wasn’t available to many users initially). But while some have already dismissed it as another Facebook competitor destined to fail, others see something potentially very different – an integrated social network built on top of the massive data collection machine we all use every day: search.…

Below is a long blog post about 50 Ways to Kill Your Boss. You’ll notice I said “long”. It took me quite some time to write this, because there are so many ways and it was hard to narrow down the list! So if you only have time for one thing (or even if you do read all of them) try number 46. You can change your life by doing that one simple thing, but be warned: This might not actually kill your boss.…

Below is a long blog post about 2014. You can scroll to the bottom and read it in its entirety if you like, or click on any of these headings to jump directly there: I have been through some things since I last wrote here… Here are just some highlights from my year (and beyond): In February I was diagnosed with depression after having two years of chronic fatigue that made me unable to function at all.…
