The Internet in 1969 – it s a wonder it got off the ground if this was the vision
“What the wife selects on her console, the husband will pay for on his counter part console.” I love the way he shakes his head disapprovingly. He should sell one of those computers, that would surely set things straight. Also… “Father immediately receives…” the most depressing print out of his life? Posted via email from [...]

Space & Light in Architecture: a conversation with Duncan McLeod
Like a pause in a piece of theatre, space in design can speak volumes. We often hear from graphic designers about how the use of space allows content to breathe and I wondered if the same is true for architects. How do they approach the concept of space in a medium where space is the [...]

For this short film, I approached Tony Howard, the Managing Director of the London based Transport Design Consultancy to discuss his approach to way-finding signage. Having previously worked as Head of Design at British Rail, more recent projects include [...]

The Internet of Social Things
Here’s a talk I gave at the SoCon 2011 conference last month – you’ll need to give it a few seconds (maybe about 30 seconds in reality) to load, the player doesn’t appear immediately for some reason. The essence of the talk was how we’ve moved from simply connecting things to the internet to giving [...]

The ultimate gaming experience? Battlefield 3 Simulator from The Gadget Show (video)
This rig would run into tens of thousands of pounds to build and I love the Gadget Show for going to such extremes with this one. I would SO build one myself if I had the time / money / technical knowledge / army of Oompa Loompas to run it. So it’s not going to [...]

Typical is always relative, but out of 7 billion people, are you typical?
Given all the talk last week that we (the human race) had surpassed 7 billion on the counter I was reminded by this film from National Geographic. Key for me in this is that like anything, you have to look at it in context. Typical is always relative. Posted via email from Mr.Spooner’s Posterous
