Code word :

I need a time billing code for pretending to enjoy Happy Hour with coworkers.

Shallow-scan MRI for the construction industry :

MRI isn’t the technology that will work here, but a back-scatter detection system with functional resonance imaging would be a huge boon for the construction industry in determining what is behind a wall. Would also be immensely useful for figuring out cracks in wings of aircraft or other structural flaws in critical mechanical systems.

What I miss most… :

I was asked by American friend what I miss most about the UK now that I have been in California for a few years. “Good weather. Good cheese. Good bread. Good beer. Good irony. None of which you will you understand.” I replied.

Free sex? :

Every time I talk to start-ups in the Bay area I am flabbergasted by how much faith and energy companies invest in the culture of youth and the unicorn-like wunderkind when everyone over the age of 30 that you talk to will admit that teenagers and young twenty-somethings are just about as clueless as you… Click this link to continue reading the remainder of the article

Poop Jokes! :

If you could describe your poop with a film title, what would it be? I think my last one would be “Mission Impossible”

Mistakes v4.0 :

When I launch my next start-up I vow to not make all of the mistakes that I made at my previous start-ups. I shall endeavour to make all new mistakes. I’ve learnt so much I believe I am well-equipped to make mistakes at twice the rate of an average entrepreneur, and for about the same… Continue reading the remainder of “Mistakes v4.0.”
