I'm Phil Hawksworth, a web developer working in London at R/GA

This site is the place where I post whatever feels important to me, mostly techie posts about web development and technology, but occasionally about fun family or food.

I'm a geek for all things to do with The Web and I crop up from time to time on other sites around and about. Find me on, among others, these sites:

• Twitter
• Flickr
• Github
• Google Plus
• Lanyrd
• Slideshare
• LinkedIn
• Huffduffer
• Quora
• Last.fm
• Dopplr
• Vimeo
• del.icio.us
• Friendfeed
