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 [...]

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 [...]
Changing the world – one pixel at a time
17, Jan 2011It’s been a blistering start to the year in just about every quarter. Unless you happen to be a Liverpool fan. Anyway, as the UK economy slowly drags itself out of the mire of the past couple of years, we are seeing the rise of a lot more sites that draw on the power of [...]
Beauty is in the eye of the beholden
23, Dec 2010The Nativity is such a compelling story for a number of reasons, but my favourite is how it challenges our preconceptions. Specifically our notion of status. A human-born deity with the power to change the world comes into being in a setting of abject poverty and humility. He is not a king, nor the son [...]
One World. 24 Hours. 6 Billion Perspectives.
26, Nov 2010Earlier this week I came across an interview with Sir Martin Sorrell, where he was talking about the future of advertising. In it he says that content is king. He’s right, but I think that its more than this. Advertising isn’t just about content (rich content though it may be), it is now essential to [...]
