Arty Farty

I’ll just launch into this one. My partner is a Sculptress; she travels pretty much all over the world on private commissions, competitions, residencies or is in the UK on public commissions. As a result I pretty much have to spend 60% of my spare time in art galleries and exhibitions…..you can usually find me [...]

Class Networking

An interesting but not really mind-blowing take on how Facebook users are apparently likely to be more educated than MySpace users.

Interesting 2007

I really enjoyed Interesting2007, like really really. It was great to go someplace and just chill out and enjoy the day and not have to worry about taking notes. It was a totally different experience to the PSFK London conference. Not necessarily better, but different. PSFK was a day of education, Interesting was a day [...]

I have words, pictures and some video from the weekend in general and Interesting2007 in particular. As soon as I’ve slept some more, I’ll put them up.

GVoyeur?

Google Maps and Google Earth are really cool tools. The ability to zoom to almost street level anywhere in the world is gimmicky for sure, but still something that definitely sparks oohs and aahs when put on show to find an old home. Or anything for that matter. And if / when you see your [...]
