Thinking

I've been puttin together the website for this year's dConstruct and I reckon it's in a decent enough shape to ship, so without further ado, I present to you...

dConstruct 2014 — Living With The Network.

It's a quiet week in 68 Middle St whilst much of the production team are working away from home.

From Business To Buttons returned to Stockholm after a 5 year hiatus this month. We were invited to attend by a dear friend, the first ever Clearleft intern Emil Björklund. How could we refuse?

There'll be another Connections event this month, following on from the excellent inaugural humdinger. Save the date: Wednesday, April 23rd at 7pm in the delightful surroundings of 68 Middle Street.

Babies and mussels. Prototypes and flying on jets. Busy. So busy.

A weeknote haiku.

Relive the magic of the world's finest conference.

Tickets for Responsive Day Out 2 went on sale this week ...aaaannd promptly sold out. If you got your ticket, great!--see you on June 27th. If you didn't manage to get a ticket, you can still put your name on the waiting list.

Jeremy was up in London on Friday for Edge Conference, hence the tardiness of the weeknotes. There's also been lots of international travel, conference announcements and a new starter.

Tickets for Responsive Day Out 2 go on sale at noon tomorrow. Like I said, it was extremely popular last year and sold out very quickly. I don’t know if that’s going to happen again this year, but if you’re thinking about grabbing a ticket, I wouldn’t dawdle too much if I were you.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull agency. So this week we had a break from client work and took a trip up to London for a big team lunch and to check out a new exhibit at the British Library. Some of us were lucky enough to get a little behind-the-scenes look at the digital preservation work being done there--something very close to my heart.

Yesterday, much of the Clearleft team took a trip to the British Library in London. There, a lucky few of us got a tour of the Digital Archive facility with Dr Jeremy Leighton John.

Mark your calendars: Responsive Day Out 2 will take place here in Brighton on Friday, June 27th. Tickets go on sale in two weeks time for a mere £80+VAT.

The big news this week is that we have a new Clearlefty. Andy Thornton (yes, yet another Andy) is so new, we haven't gotten around to adding him to the team page yet. And the poor blighter is being thrown in at the deep end, heads-down with Boxman and Batesy working on a somewhat secretive exploratory project that will come to fruition next week.

Ben visits the Tate Modern and reviews their multimedia guide. He finds some usability issues, and some great opportunities in the near future.

In which the team enjoy the 'craic', saw the launch of a great new festival, had a house guest, kicked off a great new project, and got bigger.

Weeknotes. This time with added cake!
