New Toy On The Way

Well it looks like there’s not going to be any medium sized updates to Apples G5 now till July. I’ve been waiting for at least some revision before buying one, but its at the point of “need” now.

My credit card is now on fire. Oh well.

Happily, as it’s just sneaked in before 31st March, I should be able to include it all in my 100% first year allowance, writing it off against profits for tax purposes. Which is nice.

Saint Patricks Day

Feeling a little happier with my lot, I did a little photo montage from around Clerkenwell this morning : Things That Are Green

1) Spray marked road builders symbols next to moss

2) Vibrant plant leaves

3) Graffiti stick man on green tile wall

4) Fiat car body

5) Towel drying on our antiquated clothes hanger

6) Plastic water bottle in the window

7) “Smokeing is good” graffiti on the kids playspace sign

All up for a pint of the black stuff later? Excellent!

Soft Launch

New look, new business, new site (in progress). Neuromantics – Design and Digital Couture.

This has kept me busy for a while already but will hopefully be a winner. A few notes:

We Heart Blogs. As part of our process we’re going to be very pro-blogging tools, using them as part of our working methods – with clients, with each other, and in some cases for delivery.

“About Us” – yeah? Nah, all that standard conservative business language has got to go. We are in the process of writing our Manifesto based on some core beliefs. If you don’t feel it, what’s the point?

Transparency – Value for Money. I hate that mytification of design that goes on, with a brief handed over, Mr Designer goes and hides behind a brick wall for a few weeks, returns with two pieces of paper. Now Pick One. We’ll be replacing the brick wall with some glass I think.

More, as they say, soon…
