Collaborative Talent

Enjoyed this Australian Trailer for their new Channel ten network identity - suspect it's even BETTER if you know the actors well.

Seen this done over here too a couple of times - it's incredibly powerful when a channel does manage to get all its big names together like… Continue

Usher in the iPad

After an eagerly awaited and much heralded product launch, the new iPad has been unveiled to an unsuspecting (actually, suspecting would be more accurate) world. It's been fun watching the grand unveil and responding to this to Media Guardian on behalf on a client, all in real time.

Noise

I recall my acoustics Professor defining noise as unwanted sound. Which is which depends on your viewpoint. It is not obvious. Contexts change and lives change. My introduction to jazz was painful: my preferred music these days is jazz.

The same applies to design. One person’s classical perfection is another’s post modern nightmare. It is not the case that an opinion can only be voiced if it is professionally qualified. The truth about… Continue

More evidence of the distorted view of North Sea oil

Watching Jonathan Dimbleby’s otherwise excellent programmes on Russia. He was at a BP base in Siberia when he drew a contrast between the industry there and the oil and gas industry in the UK.

"For Britain oil was a tiny part of our wealth,” he stated.

Wrong on two counts, I believe. Firstly, North Sea oil and gas was not a tiny part of our wealth by any measure I know. Secondly, North Sea oil and gas is most… Continue

Web3 Innovations: a wee shindig

Here at Blipfoto, we've been looking into the "Web3" concept. The question seems to be - how can a social media website bring real people, into a digital space, and then together again in the real world? The answer: Bliptogether.

Scottish Enterprise Invitation to Quote: PROVISION OF WEBINAR SERIES

Hi everyone. I've posted an invitation to quote for a service - 38 Minutes seems like a good place to put it, particularly as it's web service provision. A standard Scottish Enterprise form should be attached to this post, containing full details of the project. I'll cross-post to Wanted - don't give me a hard time for this! :)

All the best!

More useful (and free) productivity boosting apps

Picking up on Kieran's "For visual thinkers" post earlier...

I like Doodle for pulling together meetings. (OK, most 38 min'rs will have heard of it, but if I can help just one person today I'll be happy)

Particularly useful if, like me, you work for a bigger organisation with its own mail server, and you need to arrange a meeting with a mix of internal and external people.

Funds available to put tourism firms on map

Just passing on some information; this seems like an interesting opportunity for site developers or location based iPhone apps developers...

It seems this fund has had a low uptake in the North East.

"Tourism businesses in the north east of Scotland are being urged to help put themselves on the map by using an untapped funding package.

Great creative industries information resource...

...particularly for parents who want to know more about the creative industries. My son is making subject choices shortly, so it was at the front of my mind when I saw this site from CC Skills (Creative and Cultural Skills), the sector skills council. What a great resource www.creative-choices.co.uk.
