Hello!

You've reached the Web site of Tim Boyd.

I mostly work on the Web, trying to make information more useful for people.

I spend my day as an Information Architect, thinking about how to reduce the friction around interactions with information. I think the Web is important.

Also: I take photos and publish them on the Web under a Creative Commons license. This means they end up in interesting places. I listen to a lot of ambient music and I write about it on my ambient music blog. I read books and Web sites. I try to keep track of the things I've found useful. I don't use MySpace or Facebook. I started personal blogging back in the 1990's, but I don't really do it anymore. I am a supporter of the Arsenal Football Club. A lot of people have the same name as I do, so years ago I started spelling my name backwards online, so that you could be sure you were talking to the real me.
