    The best design is invisable

    When something has been designed exceptionally well, you shouldn’t notice “the design”. You should be using a service which just works, not fighting to understand what the process is or guessing what you’re meant to do next. So here’s a video about the recently released film Mad Max – Fury Road. The connection might not be obvious,…

  • Large scale American Beauty bag blowing.

    This scene from America Beauty has 35 parodys on youtube, [youtube width=”425″ height=”240″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGWU4QhJ4L8[/youtube] But none are quite like the large scale version in Pupping, Austria where whole fields of white plastic were being lifted in the air.

  • Photography presents a unique problem

    I like taking pictures and I’m not fussy about what I take pictures of. But I hear more and more about people who are very fussy and claim that it’s against the law. There’s been a few cases recently – The Register have just published a piece on the problems photographers face – having film…

  • Free festivals, films, picnics and more.

    I’m a big fan of free things, and living in an expensive city like London you have to make the most of them. Which can be quite tricky when there’s free stuff going on everywhere you look. The closing weeks of June are a particularly good example of this, there’s the London Festival of Architecture…
