As well as the sessions in Leeds, Helen and I are organising a series of events on the Future of Work and emerging technologies with our friend James Tagg of Truphone (his was the farm where we did Hacklands). The subjects are the four areas that we’re focusing on at Tuttle these days with an emphasis on…

It’s a week since I decided to spend my work time in the public spaces of the National Theatre. It’s been good. I’ve turned up every day. People have dropped by for a chat more than sitting and working together, which is OK and it’s been nice to see some unexpected faces. My weekend was…

I have some identification with little #hitchBot after my own trips across the USA. For those who don’t know the story, I spent the month of March 2011…
So, #Tuttle turned 7 years old, six months ago. There have been times when I’ve walked away from it and let others carry the show, but for most of those seven years, I’ve been showing up every week and helping something beautiful happen.
