Nokia’s marketing team are idiots. They’ve used URL over which they have no control on an advert for one of their premium handsets.
This is the story of how I hijacked stole hacked recycled it and, in doing so, prevented Nokia from having a serious PR problem.

How Popular Are QR Codes?
One common complaint I hear is that QR codes are just too obscure. I don’t think that’s true. Aside from continual use in newspapers and magazines, they’re all over the city.
Here are a few examples that I snapped while walking around London.
I love going to Mobile Monday London – it’s a great meeting place for those of us in the mobile industry. It’s also one of the few spaces which holds the equivalent of an “Open Mic” night.
MoMoLo’s Spring Demo Night was crowded with great entrants. So [...]
As promised earlier this week, I popped over to London’s Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology to take a look at what they’re doing with QR codes.
The staff were very friendly and quite happy to chat about their experiences with the codes. I’d like to thank them for taking the [...]
It seems that all good ideas are invented simultaneously. Calculus was arrived at by both Leibniz and Netwon, Gray and Bell invented the telephone within days of each other, and the electric car is currenly being pursued by many different manufacturers.
Now it looks like sticking QR codes onto museum exhibits is [...]
It’s always an odd experience to watch yourself speak. Everyone – I think – finds the sound of their own voice really odd. I’m no exception!
This is the video from the Derby Museum Backstage Pass where we gave the first public demonstration of QRpedia.
The Video
It’s always a delight to be interviewed by the BBC – even if it is on a subject I know very little about!
As part of the Wikimedia Derby Backstage Pass a group of participants were invited around the mothballed Silk Mill Museum.
It looks like the next big thing in Kindle-land is – depressingly – advertising subsidisation.
the world’s first ad-supported Kindle, going on sale within Target and Best Buy locations for $114. That represents a gentle $25 savings compared to the price of today’s cheapest Kindle, but those 2500 pennies don’t come free — you’ll be [...]
Wow! What a day! I headed over to Derby Museum for the Wikipedia “Backstage Pass” event.
I was invited there to talk about QRpedia and how it can improve visitor engagement in GLAM – Galleries Libraries Archives Museums.
After the introductions, I had a quick wander around [...]

I love my little Dell Laptop – it's served me well over the years. And it has become a magnet for stickers – some for companies who have long since gone bust! Recently, I've upgraded the hard disk to [...]
The only thing I love more than giving out my business cards, is taking business cards from others.
Unfortunately, my current “to do” pile of cards is getting a little… unwieldy…
Enter WorldCard Mobile – the app for Android which claims to be able to recognise the text on business cards and [...]
