Finally visited the third of three #eastend #hawksmoor #churches. St George in the East was built 1714 and 1729. I read somewhere (Pevsner?) that George Dance the Younger May have reorganised the front entrance steps. In any case it’s another interesting (and wacky) building which was much destroyed during the war. Today it’s only partially used and includes a flat in its structure. #london #architecture #latergram#halo effect around this #sun this morning. #london #latergramThanks @thecoffeeroomlondon for being open. So nice to have a #coffee with you everyday! #friday #fridayvibes #cafelatte #latteart #mileend #london ☕️❤️In between calls and work I am going on walks nearby in places that I’ve never been. #hainault #hainaultforest #london #coronavirus #latergramThinking of travelling adventures again...this is the #Madaba Mosaic map from a 2016 trip to #Jordon. The 6th century mosaic shows the Holy City of #Jerusalem. Here is the Roman Cardo, or the primary street running through the city with peristyles on either side. #travel #adventure #history #holyland #muchlatergramGratulerer med dagen Norge! 🇳🇴 it’s the best I can do today. (At least I went #rollerskiing this morning!) Happy Constitution Day #syttendemai 🇳🇴

Thoughts on my Jawbone customer service experience
Over the last week I have been tweeting quite a lot about Jawbone and the really shockingly bad customer service experience that I have had. As an American in my adopted home country of Great Britain I’ve come to accept … Continue reading
Egypt and the Internet
I’ve been thinking about Egypt quite a lot the last few days in light of the current round of protests. The lastest uprisings are the next in what I think may be a long line of them. Clearly Egypt is … Continue reading
Britain Needs Techno Dynamists
In an excellent column for CityAM today, Stian Westlake makes the argument that optimists need to run the economy in order to foster economic growth. This is an argument that I have been making for years and in various forms. … Continue reading
