The Poke lift is a little bit broken – the LED panel has come off which leaves the circuit board uncovered. And you can probably see there’s a really lovely bunch of coloured cables behind. Every time I see them I have a really strong urge to cut some of them. I’m not sure [...]
From a designer’s point of view there’s probably all kinds of sins going on here. But I love the side of this truck. It makes me feel that concrete is both fun and very tough.
I’m sure I should have read this before. But for some reason I hadn’t. It’s perhaps one of my single favourite blog posts ever:
Hugh ‘GapingVoid’ MacLeod on How To Be Creative
I discovered it when looking at his cartoons the other day. Even though it’s a couple of years old anyone who does anything that is [...]
I like this QR code poster. Here’s the reason why:
It’s very big, so you can take a photo of it from across the road. Good usability.
It’s mulit-layered. If you don’t know what a QR code is, it doesn’t matter, it just looks like a big fucked up cyber-apocalyptic thing with a 28 Weeks Later [...]
Music strategy and comms agency Frukt send me a lovely email every month called Brands | Bands | Fans which is a top snapshot of the way that brands are ruining music. Or in some rare occasions doing something that’s actually quite good.
The newsletter has a blog (or is it the other way around?) which [...]
I read a book yesterday in one sitting. Well a couple of sittings if you include changes in mode of transport from bus to train. It’s very rare that I do that. It’s also very rare that I find a ‘business’ book that grips me like this one did.
Amazon.co.uk: A Whole New Mind – [...]
The most excellent Giles who is the creator of the most excellent Edward Monkton posted a link in the comments section of the Bonfire of the Brands post. But it’s such an excellent link that I thought I had to float it to the top.
Robert Llewellyn (Scrapheap Challenge and Red Dwarf star) is documenting his [...]
I was chatting to someone the other day about whatever had happened to Neil Boorman’s book – Bonfire of the Brands. As I understand it, it’s the process and results of his self-inflicted experiment to give up all branded stuff.
Out-of-the-blue-ish I got a mail today and it appears that his book is coming out very [...]
I share a table with 2 techy types – I’m not going to name names ;-)
This morning overheard a great little snippet from a conversation about how it’s difficult to get back into ‘code’ after a long weekend.
Yeah, the human brain wasn’t meant to do this stuff. It’s meant for hunting and shit.
I love you [...]
