Knowledge is faster than Mortar
/
I picked up a bag of coffee beans whilst we were on holiday, roasted by Skye Roastery and sold out of the Skye Farm Shop (“Local Produce for Local People”). The coffee is especially interesting for me personally because I’ve been using coffee as a proxy for how MTPW>MPWT can play in even existing, seemingly…

/
So then, following on from what Mr Howard may have called ‘the prologue‘… what did I learn from the three Smithery projects in 2013? As with last year, here they are in the order I proposed them in, the original goal, what actually happened, and a grade. 1. The Sound of Smithery In short:…

A review of 2013 projects – part 1
/
Well, wouldn’t you know it, it’s time to review the three Smithery Projects for 2013; to explore audio by creating a regular podcast, to create 40 or so quick videos to explore new forms of sharing ideas, and to create a platform through which people could share Artefact Cards. These aren’t, of course, client projects…

The Dayfilms Experiment – some rules and background
/
As part of the OSLP project ‘The Key To Leadership‘, I thought I’d see how quickly I could make films to document the process. Can you shoot, edit, puiblish & edit in a single 24 hour period, so that it’s good enough to share online, but make it part of your work so you can…

How Our Work Might Work – my talk from Silicon Beach
/
UPDATE That nice Dave Birss grabbed me before my talk, for a wee interview. Though it would fit well here – covers basic ideas of the talks, making things, the new Artefact Boxes, and the Oxford Saïd Business School project… —————– A talk I gave at Silicon Beach 2013 in Bournemouth, about how the way…

Data, Telemetry & Whimsy
/
I saw this music device yesterday. It has a 4 banks of 10 Perspex blocks, each bank representing a different musical element (drums, bass, vocals and so on), and the ten blocks within each being different samples from songs. That white space in the middle recognises which block you’ve out down, and starts playing that…

Minimum Viable Presentation
/
We had the first Artefact meetup last week, which was great fun. More on that over here. But there will be more, that’s for sure. Thanks to Helen & Mel at BBH for hosting, and the guys over at Carlsberg in Copenhagen for being the beer sponsors (and sending us some fine craft beer from…

Introducing The Artefact iPhone App

Yes, it’s been a little quiet on the blog of late – but with good reason. A crack team of Adam Hoyle of Do Tank, Darrell Whitelaw of Siberia and myself (of making tea and random ideas) having been finishing off… the Artefact App for iPhone: One of the things I’d picked up a…

What’s your Internet accent?
/
All of a sudden, after I started testing iOS7, apps are going crazy for access to the phone’s microphone. Of course, if you’ve any knowledge of the PRISM revelations, you automatically start thinking ‘why does a map or a photo app want access to my microphone’…? But without getting into that, it’s more likely (or…

Are Brands Fracking The Social Web? – V2.0
/
I’m really enjoying talking at Squared every quarter. Notionally it could be the same talk, but what I’m finding is that it’s a question I’m asking out loud all of this year, and so as I get a better grip on the question and its many answers, the presentation changes. And gets better, hopefully. I’m…
