In No Particular Order

Present&Correct – Color Planner – Another stationery fetish "find" – this time thanks to @offmessage.
Quirky stationery and 'making' things – with an olde-worlde and European flavour.

ecommr: a collection of e-commerce interface and design elements – "ecommr is a website showcasing the best (and sometimes worst) in e-commerce design, with a clear focus on the individual elements that make up online stores. We break down retailers and focus on individual [...]

EtherPad: Realtime Collaborative Text Editing – Neat. Basic, but neat. I love SubEthaEdit (from Coding Monkeys) for its stripped-down text interface (like TextMate with colour) and co-editing, but find the sharing limited (eg bonjour, owner has to initiate the share).
GDocs in the main collaboration [...]

Westfield London is one of my new clients and so it was a pleasure to get to visit and a guided wander with Sarah Lukins.
The first impression – other than the sheer scale of the place as I approached – was of friendly, helpful staff. The car park attendants were lovely – and it’s really [...]

As the regular reader will know I’m a big  believer that the convergence of location-based information, structured data, inferred/contextual relationships and a slick relevant interface will change our world and start delivering the sort of “future” interactions that we had in the 1960s’ SciFi.
Google’s Mobile App is a step closer.
I won’t rehash the explanatory video [...]

So, then, to the sumptuous surroundings of the Banqueting House in Whitehall for the Walpole’s Awards for  Luxury.
It was a well-attended and extremely well-orchestrated event and the awards (of which there were seven, plus a special award for Dame Vivien Westwood whose, er, distinctive speech I really hope to be able to track down on [...]

Versions – Mac Subversion Client (SVN) – Is this not a) one of the most be-au-tiful logos for ages, and b) one of the nicest interfaces to subversion on the planet? Wish I'd had this last year when trying to use SVN [...]

These my micropostings and bookmarks – November 13th through November 17th:

FT.com / UK – Letter from Iceland – What a wonderful article from Robert Jackson, an FT journalist living in Icelands since 2003. Clear, moving and thought-provoking.
I have cycled and walked in Iceland and dream weekly of those experiences. This article brings home the [...]

It’s not often that I’m riled to the extent of wishing violent and evil harm upon the Lord’s creatures (well, Mice and Moths notwithstanding – both of which infest our house) but I find myself fantasising about the pain and destruction I could visit upon the Quilter Street Squirrel.
NOT – I hasten to point out [...]

Manage Relationships From Your Inbox | SocialMinder – Finally starting to see services that combine real world behaviour (eg emailing) with static representations of a network (eg lists of contacts). Ideally, a link/API into desktop applications will follow – eg taking an APML profile, [...]

The Snow Patrol : Is this the longest ever wait for an online delivery? – Hilarious – a despatch note from The Stationery Office: nearly 6 years after the order was placed.
Another nice article from the Snow Patrol – a blog worth watching.

Someone’s had an irony bypass here…

Watching confirmation of a remarkable victory with sleepless and excited kids. The world seems a nicer place this raining autmn day, and reminds me of chuckling at similar news in 1997 this side of the pond. Interestingly though this mesage of change is against a background of challenges, two wars and financial meltdown, not an [...]
