Post-digital media design, our panel at SXSW on Tuesday
Mar 13, 2010 5:14am
A quick note for any readers currently in Austin, myself and an awesome cast of many (Molly, Mike, James, Ben) will be talking about post-digital media design on Tuesday at 3.30pm in Hilton H. I promise – little theory, lots of real examples, prototypes and experiments. Not only that, but...
the art of loitering
Mar 8, 2010 2:06pm
I should save this for another project, but I love it too much to wait. I came upon a curious little book called In Your Stride by A.B. Austin (1931, Country Life), not so much a walking guide, as a guide to a walking life, with hints about where and...
socialising chatroulette
Feb 21, 2010 3:20pm
The ChatRoulette phenomenon is fascinating (seriously NSFW and not for the gentle, if you don’t know what it is) partly because it’s dragged niche and less salubrious corners of the Internet into the glare and use of the mass-market. I personally don’t understand the appeal, either exhibitionism or talking to...
no map for this territory
Feb 5, 2010 7:43am
I’ve been playing with Mapumental a bit, as it’s a front end to an awful lot of data, particularly public transport. I’ve been creating maps of how far you can travel in an hour for a few places: 1 hour from EC2: 1 hour from SW11: 1 hour from W9: But the maps only...

London Gastronomy Seminar #2
Jan 21, 2010 4:06pm
Great LGS again tonight, looking at wine and coffee. We were also given a sample of a very interesting white wine (macerated, unusual for white wine) – it was yellow, cloudy, smelt of sweet apples, tasted herbal, slightly metallic. Also, two samples of coffee, one tasted quite traditional to me,...
more science needed
Jan 19, 2010 2:29pm
My quick fragmented notes from Stewart Brand talking at the RSA (who should be posting the audio/video on their site soon, and there’s another version of the talk viewable here): Rethinking green. Climate change changes everything. He majored in ecology in the 1950s – when no-one was thinking about it. “It’s all gardening” Positive feedback...
