Our world through a lens
23, Nov 2011In one of these mails about a year and a half ago, I mentioned an ambitious project that was being undertaken via the internet. The project, called ‘Life in a Day‘ was an attempt to capture a normal day in the life of the world. Rather like a digital time capsule. Participants who wanted to [...]
It’s been a while…
1, Nov 2011As our ‘beloved’ Andy Hyatt is MIA today I’ve taken up the mantle of the weekly Digital Friday Mail. For those who have just joined (or have never received a ‘Friday Mail’), this is intended as a weekly digest of links and topics that have been of interest to the digital team this week. The [...]
It’s been a while since I last penned a Friday mail, and while there are plenty of reasons as to why this is, events over the weekend have now forced my hand. Last week, saw a few events take place which merit a deeper exploration and a better understanding. Google finally released a beta of [...]

I’ve attached a link to a couple of those I thought might appeal to the collective sense of Fridayness. Then I received [...]

For those of you who are unaware, this week saw the inaugural launch of an exciting new initiative, sponsored by our very own Future Talent team. Graduate Answer Time is a series of debates based on the Question Time format that brings together key figures from the graduate and Higher Education sectors to address some [...]
Just some random musings and sites today. Enjoy. A Adobe Museum of Digital Media. A cool and interesting idea where a museum dedicated to Digital Media is developed entirely online. You have to play around with it, as it’s a bit odd. If anything though, it will remain etched in my mind for moment of [...]
Laugh and the world laughs with you…

Unfortunately, this year sees a multitude of variations on the tablet theme, alongside numerous pontifications from the [...]

As the #TRU London unconference draws to an end, my thoughts turn to what I have learned. This was my first ever unconference and whilst day 1 followed a slightly more established footprint, with most speakers using some form of PowerPoint slides to begin with (much to the chagrin of some of the unconference hardliners), [...]
Friday mail (the short one)
14, Feb 2011Four sites, all which caught my (or the team’s) eye: Thinking Space from the Economist – nice flash site which gives you access to the collective brains of prominent planners within the advertising world. Chrome Experiments (view in Chrome) – a selection of sites and games which are used to test what you can do [...]
