The Filter (revisited) #csbook

I had lunch the other day with a friend who told me how he sometimes walks into WHSmith’s and buys obscure magazines just for the heck of it – no, not those ones – the sort of magazines featured on Have I Got News For You like Garlic Weekly. I think that’s brilliant and much needed to find new influences, as the whole world seems to have gone mad about personalisation. Since I wrote this piece “back” in 2007 this idea of a Filter presenting stuff that is interesting to you is still important, to find a away to cut...

To be honest with you, I had a little go at Daniele a while back about the typography of our book and he quite rightly told me to go and get stuffed.

You know it happens sometimes when the stars align, and when the lovely people at Penguin asked us to create an app for @stephenfry’s upcoming novel “The Fry Chronicles”, boy did they align. Personally having devoured “Moab is My Washpot” and being a Fryophile all round, this was as close as it gets to finding a giant squid. The app deconstructs Stephen’s novel into chunks that can be searched using tags such as Fryisms, Hugh Laure etc. You dip in and out of it at your...

A little film we made for Sony Ericsson to launch the new Xperia X10 in the US featuring Glam Rockers. What else? This is the first of 6. The next 5 are with Models, Seniors, Toddlers, Surfers and Italian Americans. Live tomorrow. The Product Testing Institute is fake. The people are real. Enjoy. ...
