A bit of an update if you don’t follow my company’s blog. We’ve rebranded our UK studio to Tinker with a new url, new logo, corporate colours and everything ( for official release check out the official blog post) which was the result of more than a year’s worth of work in figuring out exactly… Continue reading Tinker: an exercise in branding.
Ada Lovelace: Carole Collet
That time of the year again and right on time considering the amount of ink that has been spilt (that expression I guess will have to be revised when the infamous death of paper things happens, oh well) recently about feminism, its impending death (we’re trying to kill off all of our large cultural concepts… Continue reading Ada Lovelace: Carole Collet
Imaginary weeknotes #003
I’m in Austin for the geek version of spring break. I had some ribs. I can’t move anymore.
Running a studio (comment 2)
I realised I don’t write very often about my day job here, perhaps because this feels like a different space that I can use to talk about the meta-job of running a company. Last year, I wrote about running a business but I’m very interested in the dynamics of running a design studio at the… Continue reading Running a studio (comment 2)
Beautiful serious women hidden behind electronics
Highlarious. Thanks Megan and BERG, made my day.

Running a studio (comment 1)
It’s always scary and entertaining when a concept that comes from programming techniques kindof made me think of the way I run my company. Instead, most of a program’s overall functionality is coded into a single “all-knowing” object, which maintains most of the information about the entire program and provides most of the methods for… Continue reading Running a studio (comment 1)
Commenting back: a response to "A rant about women"
I’ve specifically _tried_ as much as I can to avoid the subject of women, gender equality and tech in this blog for years but this was an invitation I simply could not refuse. I’m also writing this down running out of time and needing to pack a suitcase, so this should be quick don’t worry.… Continue reading Commenting back: a response to "A rant about women"
Deep city
I was fortunate enough to attend the Microsoft Research Social Computing Symposium on “The City as a Platform” in fabulous NYC last week and thought i’d share my Ignite-style talk. This event and talk was an opportunity for me to do 4 things: – talk about something that’s related to my design interests – break… Continue reading Deep city
Dog-earing: City by Alessandro Baricco
I’m one of those people who, in order to thoroughly enjoy a book, underlines my way through it. I re-read this one in the last month and thought i’d write things down down. They won’t make much sense outside of the context of the book and maybe that’s what’s interesting to a certain extent. I’ve… Continue reading Dog-earing: City by Alessandro Baricco
