Thrilled to be the guest on the @FullyChargedShw podcast this week, in which Imogen Bhogal and I talk about making the energy transition work for consumers, and @EnergySysCat’s Living Lab⚡ 🏡 ⚡ m.youtube.com/watch?v=c3VtTl…

Excited to be speaking at Everything Electric South on, 11th-13th Oct. I'm on 2 panels: "EVs & Clean Energy - can we take everyone on this journey, if so, how?" on Fri, and "Energy Efficiency & all that - cheaper, easier energy hacks discussed" on Sat. uk.everythingelectric.show/south/

My new shopping bag reads like the output of the most excruciating workshop ever

Energy enthusiasts: a startup I know is looking to save people money on their elec bills and carbon. Can you help by taking a quick survey (5-7 mins) about current energy usage and views on time-of-use tariffs: can you help? forms.gle/EUjMiE8ngAA6FN…

@iotwatch My Insta is full of adverts for menopause supplements and makeup/skincare for the over 50s

Nothing more middle aged than Linkedin adverts for divorce lawyers. #geriatricmillenial 🫠

@bookauthority Thanks! Happy to share this but the page seems very very slow to load. Is this a temporary glitch?

Awesome work @clurr! We're happy to inform you that "Designing Connected Products" made it to the list of best User Experience books of all time! bookauthority.org/books/best-use…

Son is now old enough that I’m learning London Gen Alpha -isms. Liking ‘touching grass’ - to go outside (with the implication of having taken a break from gaming). E.g. ‘You been touching grass, bruh?’

@katebevan @cjforms @webprofusion Thanks! I don’t get seasick but good to be warned 😀

@clurr @cjforms @webprofusion Ferry to Manly is fab, but be aware that it's bouncy going through the Heads, so if the weather is bad, it can be a bit unpleasant.

Off on a painfully short work trip to Australia soon. Not been before. I have one day for sightseeing in Sydney when I arrive. What to do? Harbour area seems like the obvious thing, but grateful for tips. Thanks!

@cjforms @webprofusion Great, thanks! Someone recommended the trip to Manly, is that shorter?

@clurr @webprofusion There are very cute ferries - public transport - that leave from near the Opera House. I like the trip out to Bondi Beach but shorter trips are available. Botonic garden near the Opera House is lovely to wander in.

@webprofusion Was wondering about harbour boat trips, is that a thing?

@clurr Get the sticky chicken from the harbour bridge restaurants. The Chinatown area of Sydney is also nice spot. I can see a theme developing.. Sightseeing tour bus is often the easiest way to really see a city. Starting to get colder and rainy, so be prepared!

@webprofusion Thanks! I know I won’t see much in a day. Off to Newcastle and Canberra for much of the rest of the week, with a final night in Sydney. Just trying to make the most of the time I have.

@clurr To really see the area though you'd probably venture the the blue mountains and that's maybe too much for a short stay. Proper Australia is red dirt and people looking quizzically at you, but you'll be a long way from that :)

@katebevan Staying in the CBD, so easy for harbour area. Just wondering if there’s something else I should try to fit in. Thanks!

@clurr Where are you staying? Botanic Gardens are lovely and well worth a stroll. It'll be getting chilly, so take a jacket!

Really pleased to announce that we at @EnergySysCat are working with @CSIRO to support them in developing a living lab facility, like ours, for running consumer clean energy innovation trials 😁 ⚡ 🔋 🚗csiro.au/en/news/All/Ar… #cleantech #energy #innovation #netzero

Excited to be speaking at Everything Electric London this Friday: I'll be talking about some of the energy saving tips we've learned from @energysyscat Living Lab participants. Come along! #electrification #cleantech invt.io/1txbsnkm5b8

Developing a clean energy product/service/policy/network innovation? Looking for access to anonymised energy data from real UK homes? Take our survey and help @EnergySysCat Living Lab understand what innovators need from home energy data. forms.office.com/e/qBDDvyEhWa

My Kia e-Niro was nicked recently. I recovered it in mins via the tracking, superficially undamaged. It's just failed its MOT as the rear licence plate lamp unit is *entirely missing*. Was this a CAN bus injection attack? #automotive #cybersecurity hackster.io/news/gone-in-a…

To understand how real consumers use energy, we need to uncover both *what* they do, and *why*. My colleagues Judith (researcher) and Irene (data scientist) wrote about how we at @energysyscat Living Lab combine smart meter data with qual insights. es.catapult.org.uk/insight/combin…

Being Gen X is DJing in reading glasses

Have you developed a consumer energy tech product/service which you trialled b4 market launch? Would you be open to a quick chat about innovation spend & cost of trials? Asking as considering pricing, not selling anything. I’m interested in energy tech, not building fabric. Ta!
