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.

And now it’s 2009

Seems like a long time since 2008, but it was only last week. Over the holiday period I’ve caught up with my father in finally posting a YouTube video - he uploaded a couple of videos just over a year ago before turning 80. I caught up (a little) with the Twitterati by posting a presentation on SlideShare. This flurry of activity was in support of our Mobile Monday Peer Awards  application, which covers ThinkPhone Deliver, our active provisioning platform.

It was an interesting experience, especially using iMovie which was far and and away the best video creation tool I’ve ever used. I’ve also swapped to using an Android G1 Developer handset which has stolen my loyalties away from my N95 8GB, although I do hanker after the latter’s camera.

I’ll  be writing up these and other thoughts over the week to ease back into the normal office routine of work. I find the doing bits and pieces when the inspiration occurs mode of home working very effective, but it is not suitable for team work. I wonder if that can be cracked.

PS Also listed some of my elder daughter’s old university text books on Amazon Marketplace. That was easy - and we’ve even sold one of them now!
