It doesn’t have to be shit

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

When I was a teenager, I spent a while teaching my dad how to use our computer (he was given a PC for work). After several frustrating days, I went round to my friend Ben’s house. His dad was the proud owner of a brand new Mac (a Classic I think). He then proceeded to show us, the children, how it worked. And I remember wondering “what is this thing? where the adults are showing the children how to use it?”.

I can distinctly remember thinking that you can make things better, that it doesn’t have to be shit.

From then on, when I wasn’t sure how to design a user-interface, I would look to Apple.

RIP Steve Jobs.

Do it yourself – buy sweets online

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011


While building stuff for clients is great, there’s nothing quite like launching something yourself.

Which is why I’m really pleased to announce the new way to buy pick ‘n’ mix sweets (like you used to get at Woolworth’s) – Click ‘n’ Mix. An ultra-simple ordering system and your bag of sweets is delivered directly to your door. Or get a subscription and stay stocked up all month.
