Mike Bracken and his work on the gov.uk site.
Alex Reben and his robots
Ruth sneaks in a quick recommendation for the timehop app, and somehow we make our way onto Google glass
John reveals that he had a teenage crush on Maggie Philbin, and talks about her current project, Teen tech
John met Drew Purves from Microsoft, and completely failed to meet Documentally. He also talks about Aza Raskin and Sue Black‘s talk about Bletchley Park.
