We don’t update this very often do we? Well, to make up for that, here’s some recent news:
SxSW and the New Aesthetic
Last week, James, Ben and Russell went to Austin to do a panel on the New Aesthetic. Only James really understands the New Aesthetic but Ben and Russell managed to cobble enough together for the talk. It seemed to go well. Bruce Sterling thought it rocked. You can read about all the talks via here.
The best bit – we got to hang out with Joanne, George, Aaron and The Drone.
Pepys Road
James and Phil have been working with Matt and the Storythings crew imagining and building Pepys Road. That launched the other week. Seemed to go well. It’s a lovely thing.
Newspaper Club embeds
Newspaper Club is going from strength to strength. Sales are good, customers seem happy and, just the other day Tom built and launched Embedded Newspapers. It looks nice, it works well, it could be the most significant advance in the newspaper business since bingo.
Look – for instance – here’s a newspaper about truffles:
Good Night Lamps
Alex’s splendid Good Night Lamps got their own website last week. Easily the best Internet of Things project you’ll see anytime soon. She’s currently in the murky world of investor speed dating. Send money!
Making Magazines
Russell went to talk at a lovely conference called Making Magazines – ably assisted by Ben who livetweeted during his talk but based it on stuff that Russell wasn’t saying. That seemed to go well and attracted lots of positive feedback so we’ll probably do that again.
New York?
We’re not really sure what Gareth has been doing except he’s been to New York a lot recently and he’s trying to hire a design company.
And, finally, in picture news, here are the latest things on everyone’s flickr streams.
Ben’s been visiting DFID.
Alex has looked at architecture in Hanover.
James has been reading Mrs Beeton.
Tom’s been down the allotment.
Phil’s keeping an eye on the Barbican.
And Russell found a space squid.
