PixelRaiders
David is attending this - i look forward to finding out what he discovers - funny to see that Liz Goodman from smartLAB is presenting and that the link to CSM doesn't work :)
they could do with some pixel traiders - to sort their site out - and there is very little info :(

EDGE Digerati: The WYSIWYG - Charles Simonyi
I really must read this interview with the creator of the first 'what you see is...' software. Now doing research at MSFT.
Dr. Simonyi has endowed the Charles Simonyi Professorship For The Understanding Of Science at Oxford University which is held by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins!

The Third Culture Beyond the Scientific Revolution by John Brockman
" The third culture consists of those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who and what we are. "
just one of the many interesting looking things I found on the edge site (see prev post) - now just need to time to be able to read it...

Edge
some very interesting articles and people stored here
but the recent highlights show that Rupert Murdoch was present at the 2002 edge dinner!
so that sorta blows alot of the credibility out the window

Boxes and Arrows: Because we can
eventually kicks into action - now let's see whether the content 'stands up' like a box or 'falls flat' like an arrow - or vice versa i guess - 'sticks' in firmly like a well shot arrow or 'collapses' flat like a re-usable box ;)

Zero - Hans Schleger: A Life of Design
This exhibit is on at the mo - downstairs:.
the highlight (for me) being the JohnLewisPartnership logo:
which I really like - this visual device is derived from the letters jlp to very good effect
note - v. roughly redraw (doesn't do it justice) - this has been fazed out in favour of stripes
and the - bus stop - sign:
note - this is a request stop - so you have to put out your hand
again this is redraw - and I have almost certainly got the text/image proportions all wrong ;-)
the breakthrough here is the incorporation of text 'BUS STOP' with the LT logo to create a unified info-design
2 interesting things:
the prominence of the ZERO signature/logo on nearly all the work, and
the use of the carefuly designed ZERO (logo) by Hans
what if advertising houses / or designers stamped their logo on their adverts for Companies

I attended a LINKS session last week at Central Saint Martins. The title was: Up for Grabs; Recapturing the interface as creative space
The speakers covered a lot of ground and there were some interesting questions asked. For example, one member of the audience said that 'the physical process of setting type in lead improved students ability to use digital typesetting tools (such as Xpress)'. I think this is an important point in relation to doing digital design work. Anyway, thought I'd look into the background of some of the speakers and found a few worthwhile links. The Littlepig link (below) which contais work by
Simon Biggs is well worth a visit.
Anyway, here are details of the speakers and subjects:
1/ Bob Cotton (author) The context of the interface
2/ Durrel Bishop (IDEO formerly of Itch) Re-thinking the interface
3/ Simon Biggs (Littlepig) Interface without commercial agendas
4/ Rob Lawrence (IBM Creative Director) Communication systems and applications
Followed by Professor Irene McAra-McWilliam from CRD at the RCA chairing a discussion.
For further info here are some links relating to the speakers:
Bob Cotton
Durrel Bishop
Simon Biggs
Rob Lawrence
CRD RCA
Interesting BluePrint Article with mention of more than one participant

this was a simple directory listing - but now has an index page etc... (shame)

I had this in mind for the archive of LON issues
lon but the IIS sever wouldn't let me do a directory listing :(

for a change (and out of the blue) a link to something other than my own pages...
this is a really interesting attempt to make finding and sorting files on a computer easier - has lots of implications for the web (maybe)
and in a way is related to my idea for e-flects...

continuing the previous traditon of linking to myself... this is another collaborative open webspace tool - where I am trying to write a thing about designing a collaborative open web space tool - called: e-flect - where else ¿-/
as I never do normally thought i'd actaully add a link to something I have returned to (more than once recently)GlobZ: interactive games,stories & toys I must actually start blogging...
the games and organic movement achieved by this script based animation is very slick - I have tried to blag some code - other than what is in the NewMastersBook
