Lovely Package
Much more over at Lovely Package.
Heist
The Heist Series, mixes, portfolio and blog from Brian Gosset – Since 78. Some great works and tunes.
Julius Grimm
Julius Grimm, a 19th century scientific photographer, is responsible for this beautiful rendering of the moon titled simply ‘Mond’. Find out more about Mr. Grimm here and download a hi-res version of the image here. Quite simply beautiful.
Ministry of Type
Check out Ministry of Type (as great as ever) and also the Preserve project. I’ve been without a regular web connection for the past couple of days and then I remember those gems. Nice.
Skip’s Acorn Treasury
Superbly funny blog from James Goss, who is just as delightful in real life. James is a wonderfully talented new media producer for loads of great tv shows on BBC and C4, a playwright & author and all round good egg. Sample tags include ’sex’ ‘tv’ and ’self pity’ and you can read Skip’s Acorn Treasury yourself to get the full picture.
Not work safe if you happen to be employed by chinless monkeys, but for the rest of us it’s just essential reading.
Multi-touch installation
Wonderful multi-touch installation for the Red Bull Music Academy 08 and the best spaceys game ever. See Guten Touch here and here.

Flash is coming to your TV. For anyone who doesn’t work in digital media then this will mean not much, but if you consider that this development will mean that we’ll soon have the opportunity to add real interactivity to linear broadcast media beyond simple information delivery or different viewing angles then you’ll see why I’ve gone a bit moist.
Imagine watching a tv show and being able to interact and form tribes with other audience members while the plot unfolds (sci-fi fans take note), or being able to go and find out more in-depth information while watching a documentary about the rain forests, or playing a game that’s based on the plot unfolding before you, the possibilities are massive…telly’s not dead, it’s just waking up.
See the full scope of Adobe’s Open Screen Project over here and maybe get some cash to develop your own ideas here.
Summer loving
Happened so fast…I’ve given up even pretending that I keep this blog up to date, but I can say that it’s not dead and forgotten. It’s more the case that I spend a large amount of time doing other things…at the moment I’m working on a very big, very exciting project involving a national museum, a national library, a royal commission and the BBC. It’s very big and is taking a lot of my time and energy but it’s probably the best thing I’ve ever worked on. That aside I’m also working on some fairly big pitches as usual, so more on them when the time is right.
I’ll try and keep it up to date in here, but if you really want to know what I’m up to then just drop me a line…I usually reply.
