Thoughts on sobering up from ‘digital’

The debate that sprung out of Iain’s and others recent posts made me feel rather yucky. This is how sobering up from ‘digital’ feels like, I guess. For some good three years now I’ve been telling myself and everyone who cares to listen why digital is better than advertising etc. And than recently I woke [...]

Goodbye Poke

NOTE: I’ve been writing this post in my head for few weeks now and promised myself not to get all tacky and emotional but it won’t be easy. Today is my last day at Poke. It’s a weird, exciting and genuinely sad day for me. Everything you ever heard about Poke – the people, the [...]

My top things and stuff of 2008

you gotta love end-of-year lists.. funny year it’s been, must i admit. Whats more, I cannot really remember anything that happened before the 2nd of August when Thalia was born and our life turn upside down inside out in a totally awesome way, so the winner in the category ‘event of the year’ is pretty [...]

Five on repeat

Here are the albums/bands I can’t get enough of these days… It’s all pretty lo-fi downtempo indie melodic loveliness that makes the heart melt and the ears bleed for more – just what you need for a gray, rainy day like today Royal City: Alone at the microphone / Little heart’s ease My most recent [...]

Enchanting

Enter the magical world of Camille Scherrer: Her works are the most elegant and exciting I’ve seen in some time. Truly playful aesthetics. Make sure to take a look at all the interactive stuff, especially the propaganda poster generator and the garden party. Via the fantastic Creative Synthesis

The new unchained guide is here

Not that there was anything wrong with the previous one as far as I’m concerned but The Unchained Guide just relaunched with even better looking website. It is packed with independent goodness and new features including the fantastic unchain heros. What I mostly like about this website is their refreshing take on independent shops. When [...]

I heart CrappyCat

I just came back from an amazing holiday in amalfi (Italy) and the only thing that cheered me up from my amalfi blues was this little awesomesque animation . It’s got heaps of charm that reminds me of Poke’s unlimited project for Orange. CrappyCat (go to the interactive theater) great stuffffff Cheers .mt

Wonderland

I have a weak spot for children’s drawings. I used children’s drawings in my research few years back and found them fascinating both psychologically and sociologically. They are both a window to children’s inner world but also great for examining children’s (inter)subjectively held ideas about the larger social world in which they participate. Burns (1987) [...]

5 on repeat

I realised it’s been a while since I blogged about some great music that makes me tick so there you go – 5 albums I can’t get enough of these days. Unlike previous posts there are some old as well as new albums all been discovered through the better-than-sex Last.FM. All of them (but one) [...]

The name is Bond (art + sicence)

Mike just sent around the office the website for Bond Art + Science and it was love at first sight. On a very cleverly designed page that looks like an IM chat, they talk about themselves, their beliefs and portfolio. Everything on this website communicates we understand participation, dialouge and user behaviour, or, put differently, [...]
