Article in Medium - The New Sunday Paper: Will the future of streaming arrive in an envelope When I was a small child my entire family lived in the remote Southern Californian desert. Our only access to electronic media was a gargantuan satellite dish that delivered no less than five hundred channels of scrambled, hissing static. And for reasons I will never understand, it also delivered one unending crystal clear image of Country Music Television (which was of very little use to me, personally).

Euro Article - Where have all the heroes gone? UK referendum on Europe, will tech opportunities be in or out?

Privacy & Security Article - Watch the Watchers Imagine that someone was watching you, eavesdropping on your entire family, all of their emails, texts, thoughts, ideas, photographs and listening into every phone call.
