Thinking

The latest dConstruct 2015 podcast episode is ready for your aural pleasure. This one’s a bit different. John Willshire came down to Brighton so that we could have our podcast chat face-to-face instead of over Skype.

The fourth episode of the warmup podcast for dConstruct 2015 is here, and it’s a good one: it’s the one with Chris Noessel of Sci-fi Interfaces fame.

Here, we’ve yet more dConstruct festiveness to report. The night before the conference, Chris Noessel, one of our fab speakers, will be hosting a very special screening of 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

The dConstruct podcast episodes are coming thick and fast. Hot on the heels of the inaugural episode with Matt Novak and the sophomore episode with Josh Clark comes the third in the series: the one with Ingrid Burrington.

Weeknotes and some wise words.

You might have seen the jolly, space-tastic sponsors that we added to the dConstruct site - we had a hoot thinking up ideas for those. We thought it would be fun to know what ideas other folk would have for them... and lo, a competition was born!

Chatting about magic and technology.

Hey, here’s a question for you. What’s the most important part of a project?

If you ask a team, the chances are that you’ll get a whole heap of different responses; planning, kick-off, workshops, playback/demo etc. The list would probably be long and so would the debate. For my money, the retrospective offers the best opportunity to get real insight from a team into how they feel about a project.

I'm very proud of the three dConstructs I put together: 2012, 2013, and 2014, but I don't have the fortitude to do it indefinitely so I'm stepping back from the organisational duties this year. So dConstruct 2015 is in Andy's hands.

This weeks notes arrives in playlist form.

We’re excited to say that this year’s dConstruct talk descriptions have now been posted to the lovely site. There’s going to be so much mind-boggling, awe-inspiring, gob-smacking spectacular-ness that we can hardly wait. You have got your ticket already, haven’t you?

September looms, the skies are continuously cloud, it must be the summer break for motorsport. Time to announce the 2015 Karting Championship then?

We’re hosting a roundtable event around UX and e-commerce brands next Tuesday morning, and still have a few spaces left.

Weeknotes, sketches and sympathy.

Last Friday I co-facilitated a workshop at UXBristol 2015 held at the iconic M-Shed, bathed in glorious sunshine and slotted amid the preparations for the annual Harbour Festival.
