Thinking

The third annual Digital Karting Championship held at TeamSport Brighton brought together some of the finest businesses in Brighton and dealt some stunning race results.

To mark the launch of their rather splendid new website, our friends over at GatherContent have published a series of hands–on Content Strategy guides.

I know I say this every year, but this month—and this week in particular—is a truly wonderful time to be in Brighton. I am, of course, talking about The Brighton Digital Festival.

I went to Copenhagen last week for the Coldfront conference. It was lovely to be back in Denmark’s capital. I used to go over there ever year when the Reboot conference was running, but that wrapped up a few year’s back so it’s been quite a while since I had the opportunity to savour Copenhagen’s architecture, culture, coffee, food, and beer.

My perspective on the sprint retrospective and the benefits it can bring on a project level and on a personal one.

Using a Project Canvas to define the what, who, how and why.

Just a week to go until dConstruct! It's all hands on deck in the office to get the last minute preparations sorted in time for the event. If you haven't had a chance to check out our speakers, then it's worth taking a look at the dConstruct podcasts.

This post gives you a cheat sheet to work with it you're starting a new project and you want to know how best to work with a Content Strategist. It also has examples of how Content Strategy works in practice.

We’re very excited to announce our final super speaker for dConstruct… Mark Stevenson!

dConstruct 2015 is just ten days away. Time to draw the pre-conference podcast to a close and prepare for the main event. And yes, all the talks will be recorded and released in podcast form—just as with the previous ten dConstructs.

August has continued at pace and all of the team have been busy with lots of different projects, including the final preparations for DConstruct, working on ideas and preparing for new projects.

The newest dConstruct podcast episode features the indefatigable and effervescent Brian David Johnson. Together we pick apart the futures we are collectively making, probe the algorithmic structures of science fiction narratives, and pay homage to Asimovian robotic legal codes.

I remember when I first saw Paddy’s illustration for this year’s dConstruct site, I thought “Well, that’s a design direction, but there’s no way that Graham will be able to implement all of it.” There was a tight deadline for getting the site out, and let’s face it, there was so much going on in the design that we’d just have to prioritise.

This week seems to have been particularly colourful with post-it notes and marker pens at Clearleft towers. The whiteboards, walls, doors and even the ceiling are now covered in our fervent thinkings.

The dConstruct podcast episodes are coming thick and fast. The latest episode is a thoroughly enjoyable natter I had with the brilliant Carla Diana.
