A long career in software, now working on music and writing projects. Promoting enrichment for people, like my daughter Jemima, that have Down syndrome.

I am moving to X (Twitter) from other social media (Facebook and Instagram) for two reasons: I was on Twitter first and it connected me at the time my daughter was born with DS to really turned-on parents making a difference, and secondly it is better technology.

Some photos really capture the magic of a person. Low-res cropped out of an iPhone snap. Jemima the enigma again.

Brilliant talk from @sallyephillips yesterday in Bath. Jemima, officially the world's best hugger, would love her. #upsyndrome

Looking forward to speaking at the IBM iPUG briefing tomorrow. Topic: PowerRuby - the 'why' and some of the 'how'. Should be fun.

It takes a lot to astound me in software design. People that know me are aware of what I'm doing in this field: apple.com/ios/videos/#develo…
Another first day of school photo of Jemima, taken in our garden before setting off. She's a happy girl on a mission.
My entire professional life involves being concerned about X and Y. Never seen them as having needs. Sorry.
