First of all, this is really me – Chris Dymond – not a blogging pseudonym, however, I am not Chris Dymond the racing driver or Chris Dymond the professional poker player or Chris Dymond the Canadian lawyer. Although I am the Chris Dymond who takes photographs of walls on Flickr.
I live and work in Sheffield, in the north of England, with my lovely wife Rosie and our little boys Lucas & Flynn.
I’ve been working in the digital communications industry for around 20 years now, so pretty much my whole adult life. Variously as a software engineer, a technical author, a multimedia developer, a web developer, project manager, creative director and studio operations director. My current role is Innovation Director at web technology agency TechnoPhobia.
I also have a first class degree in philosophy & political history and a masters degree in international politics.
My main areas of interest are related to innovation processes; the social web; new technologies, applications & experiences; and the impact of technology on the world.
These are some principles I hold dear.
