Thinking

Dear world,

Busy would be an understatement for the past week or so and I think we’re all quite happy to get a rest being back at work.

In a little over a month we’ll be moving home, although the doors are already open to the public.

Our new home is coming together very quickly now.

When is it too early to start packing boxes? Will we ever get an office bottle opener?

Ben Sauer will be talking at this year’s Dare Conference on Wednesday September 25th at the Purcell Room, London.

Whilst some of us have been immersing ourselves in the pool of agile scrum, the design team have been taking a dip in European waters.

This week has featured a lot of discussion and activity around education and meeting new faces.

The Ampersand web typography conference is coming to New York in November, with a fabulous new line-up of brilliant speakers.

In September 2012, the ICT (information communication technology) syllabus was disapplied from the national curriculum in the UK.

17? OK, we dropped the ball. To make up for it, this week will be a bit more than notes.

We started our paid internship program in the summer of 2008 as a way of giving young designers their first step on the ladder. However much to our surprise (and delight), the majority of our interns already had a number of years experience and were looking for our help to improve their skills and take their careers to the next level. So this year, we\’ve decided to go back to the original brief and do things slightly differently.

Having forgotten to write last week\’s weeknotes, it\’s with a degree of urgency that I try to recap the events of this penultimate week in May.
