I am the founder of https://newsblocks.io. We're making a platform that will let you create trusted news applications using news, stored as data, on the blockchain.

I was in Japan for 18 years where I started Metropolis, Japan's No.1 magazine, and japantoday.com, the No.1 news and discussion site about Japan in English. Then I lived in the US for eight years singing karaoke. Now back in Scotland.

Giraffes are not heartless creatures.
