Beauty is in the source of the page
Time to read: < 1 minuteI am no longer sure how I found them, but I just discovered theory design, a UX / UI company based in Canada.

The tweet that cost Voula the Olympics
Time to read: < 1 minuteWe’ve all heard about not bashing work on facebook or checking in on foursquare if we’re sick at home… What nobody had heard of before though, was an athlete being kicked off her national team for a joke.

SW_trains and Waterloo’s Olympic prep
Time to read: < 1 minuteLondon’s Waterloo station is getting ready for the Olympics. Today I noticed the absolutely huge panels covering the ticket machines. They’re nice, bright, visible from a distance, and -my favourite part- actually showcase a massive ticket! Instant recognition factor for anyone who’s seen a south west trains ticket before! I’m thinking it will also come […] continue reading »

Time to read: < 1 minuteAnd another fail for exporting from PowerPoint to PDF. If link contains a hashtag, everything after the hashtag is dropped from the URL. So I’ve spent part of the morning researching OpenOffice. Sadly, impress failed to do what its name suggests, and I’m back on square one: with a broken link on a PDF. I’ll […] continue reading »
