Steve

I’m a life-long learner with an insatiable curiosity about life. I love travel, good food, and good company. I’m happy to share what I know with others….even the interesting stuff! My outlook on life is pretty well captured in this quote from a book about the legend of King Arthur: “You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn!” ― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

Martha Lane Fox appointed as UK Digital Champion

Stephen DaleJune 18, 2010October 11, 2020

Encouraging letter from the PM. I just hope that MLF doesn’t get ground down by the bureaucracy of government. The ‘Big Society’ agenda requires speed and agility to develop some momentum. http://amplify.com/u/70th
