Timo Arnall has been working with us in the studio this week. He made this. It’s super lovely. Bigger here. Thank you Timo!

Over lunch on Thursday, Russell showed us his S2H Replay – a really simple “activity monitor/pedometer thing“. I really liked his post about it earlier in the week: it feels way more like the future than the fitbit because it’s cheap, fashiony and simple. The Replay is $20. It doesn’t need any connectivity to share [...]

It’s one of those weeks where I find it hard to remember what’s happened. Jack and Matt J are in San Francisco, so there have been a lot of Skype calls between us. Timo is here too, working on El Morro. He’s sitting in the second room which is called Statham. Campbell is in Statham [...]

It’s Saturday and I’m at my kitchen table with a cup of tea. I enjoy working Saturdays so long as they’re optional. So far I’ve sketched the latest rev of an XML specification, drawn a cartoon of a workflow and written a commentary on it, replied to a few emails (though I’m still way behind), [...]

I’m currently looking for two developers for some iPhone work, and my usual networks have run dry. Here’s who I’m after: iPhone developer. Great knowledge of iPhone APIs and developing. There’s a lot of UI and network activity with this app, so you’ll need to be rigorous to identify and catch possible failure modes to [...]

I wrote this article for Scroll Magazine in October 2009, to coincide with my Web Directions keynote, Escalante. It builds on the themes in my June 2009 talk, Scope. The piece is now online here but it’s always nice to have a record on your own site so here it is! And go pick grab [...]

Last week’s links slipped over into this week’s. If you read Matt’s weeknotes for last week – week 242 – you can probably understand why. But! Better to be late than to forget them. I loved Reknit: a site for turning unwanted woolen goods into new products. You send off an unwanted pullover, it gets [...]
