Friday reading #30

So who knew that a thing I tried for a couple of weeks as an experiment would end up lasting for thirty weeks non-stop? Well, here it is — yet another weekly round-up of long(-ish) read I’ve found lying around the intertubes during the week about the kind of stuff I’m interested in

Friday reading #29

Has the week gone by so quickly? I can’t believe it is time for another Friday reading again — my weekly round-up of long(-ish) reads about UX, design, product development, journalism and the media. You can also download the lot handily packaged as a slightly morally dubious ebooky-thing from Readlist.

Friday reading #28

If it is Friday, then it must be time for my weekly round-up of long(-ish) reads from around the intertubes about UX, journalism, product development and all the other bits and pieces that interest me. And it isn’t all about Nate Silver and the US election, honest.

Friday reading #27

A bit later in the day than normal, but here is my weekly round-up of interesting essays and long(-ish) reads that have caught my eye about user experience, design, journalism and publishing. And as usual, I’ve wrapped them all up into one Readlist so you can get them bundled for the ereading device of your choice. Friday reading “Doing less” — Mark Boulton, The personal disquiet of Mark Boulton“When someone hires me for my work, they’re not paying me...

Friday reading #24

Well this seems to have come around rather quickly - but then I didn’t publish last week’s “Friday reading #23” until Monday, which kind of explains that. Anyway, the internet did good this week - lots of very long reads await you...

Friday reading #23

Erm...Friday reading on a Monday? How does that work? Well, why not just look at it as a few bonus reads for your commute during the week? Anyway, here is a round-up of some things that caught my eye over the last ten days or so whilst noodling around the web. You can grab it all as one Readlist, optimised for iOS, Kindle, or the ereader of your choice...

Friday reading #22

I’m in Rome for a few days, attending EuroIA where I’ve run my workshop on “Responisive IA” and will be talking about “IA in the touch-screen era” tomorrow. But in the meantime, here is my regular round-up of a collection of long(-ish) reads I found interesting this week about journalism, UX, writing historical fiction and a little bit of vintage computing and gaming.

Friday reading #19

Nowhere near as fun as Crackerjack, but at least appearing on a Friday afternoon with similar regularity, here is my round up of interesting links and bits and bobs that I spotted floating around the internet. And if you like that sort of thing, you can use the Readlist version to send a big bundle of it all to your Kindle, iPhone or other portable content consumption devices.

The first Friday Reading list since I revived my interest in RSS feeds - and there is no appreciable difference this week. I think most of the links came via tweets of one sort or another. Anyway, regardless of source, here is a collection of long(-ish) read articles that I found interesting whilst knocking around the e-webs this week. Follow the individual links below, or get the whole bundle wrapped up in one handy iOS/Kindle friendly reading list at...

Friday reading #17

Fancy that - another Friday, and I’m off for another dose of mud’n’rock’n’roll at a different festival. This time it is Reading for the day, mostly to see The Cure, who I first saw live, erm...well...it feels like one hundred years ago. Anyway, as usual, I’ve prepared in advance a feast of essays and links which caught my eye as they flashed passed me on the intertubes this week. So settle in to fill up your reading device of choice for the weekend...

Friday reading #16

Whilst you are reading this, I’ll be standing in the rain waiting for the Green Man Festival to start in Wales. No wifi. No 3G signal. Blissfully unconnected - although possibly slightly missing the green ink brigade below the line. But never fear, because, as Tom Baker’s Doctor might have observed: “The moment has been prepared for.” Here are a bunch of links I rustled up earlier in the week for your reading pleasure.

Friday reading #15

Friday reading is very thin on the ground this week - I think a combination of me having one eye on the Olympics, and then a bunch of things I marked as “Read for later” being less interesting than I thought means there is a only a handful of things I’ve picked up form the intertubes which you might find fun to download to the ereading or save-later app of your choice.

Friday reading #14

Maybe like me you’ve spent a lot of this week glued to watching the Olympics, rather than keeping up to date with the worlds of UX, journalism, product management, and the other stuff I write about on here. Never fear. My trusty “favourite” button has still been doing sterling work on Twitter, and so here are a bunch of things you might have missed on the intertubes whilst trying to work out the rules of handball and judo. Fill up the reading device of your choice, and dip into them during a time-out in the basketball over the weekend...

I wonder if the 13th edition of “Friday reading” needs to be unlucky in some way? Anyway, on the day that the Olympic opening ceremony takes place in my hometown, and that I’m doing some mentoring at Design Jam London #5, here are a bunch of links to interesting things and long reads from the river of the intertubes that I’ve been wallowing in this week. Journalism, digital things, and a bit of cycling. You know the drill.
