I had a meeting with a prospective client yesterday (I hope she doesn’t mind me posting this, I am keeping it anonymous). And in our conversation she said that she wanted their site to be ‘fizzy’, at first I almost laughed, then as we talked, and I thought about it, there’s nothing wrong with wanting [...]
After an earlier gripe about YouTube’s shoddy error message, here’s a beautiful piece of application design that’s cheered me up no end. From the brilliant and ever useful backpackit.com and their writeboard (collaborative document editing dodah) service.
I deleted a document that I’d been working on. On purpose. It did the usual thing of checking I [...]
It’s been a wee while since I posted an interface gripe. So here’s one I got today at YouTube:
So, what’s wrong with this?
500 Internal Server Error. That sounds like a lot of waiters with gut problems. Serious. What did I do wrong? I must have done something.
Trained monkeys, that’s sort of almost funny (but not [...]
Some of you may have seen my ‘I love London’ blog – an experiment to try to get me to love living in London a bit more. And whether having a blog that makes me look out for good things would help me to see good things.
After a strong start it faltered badly. I couldn’t [...]
Tom from Zopa said some nice things about Poke and did an email interview with me about the new Zopa site (which will soon be live, fingers crossed). It appeared in their monthly email newsletter.

You see, these guys look like fun. They all look like they’d give you a night of rollocking good entertainment. Now compare the above to the tedious typographic [...]
Saw this outisde a shop the other day and thought it looked like an interesting story. A bit of Googling later and it turns out that Hackeny council have sued Nike for ripping off their logo.
What a funny old word it is…
Guaridan Unlimited has photos and more on the story: Hackney wins logo case [...]
I’m sure this is going to get a lot of coverage: MySpace Murder Plot Foiled – September 14, 2006
And I’m not going to bang on about it too much, but it reminds me of a conversation that I’ve had with a few people recently about online privacy and identity.
Sophie has mentioned to me a couple [...]
It’s been a few days. But I am on holiday.
For some reason whenever I go away people say “you’re always on holiday”, but I promise I’m not. Regardless here’s where I am: Algund-Lagundo – it’s a lovely place, but slightly odd; it’s in Italy, but everyone speaks German. I’ll bore you with some holiday [...]
Ooooh oooh yes please. I’d love to know how to grab youth attention using these new fangled new media channels and technologies. Sounds exciting.
Damn! I should have guessed, breakdancing kids on mobile phones. The answer was staring me straight in the face all along. These photos are from a marketing pack I’ve just received for [...]
