Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Smash and Grab

It’s not often that you get to see the scene of a real smash-and-grab operation in the literal sense. Our office is very close to Hamilton & Inches, an up-market jewellers, and in front of their shop window this morning was a huge sledge hammer and a small pile of shattered glass.

Despite the almost comical size of the hammer (think Tom & Jerry), the miscreant had only managed to make a small flap in the glass, through which he or she must have slid their hand to make off with something.
