Best Shot at LFW
As well as the London Design Festival, of course it’s London Fashion Week – and Alison and Lisa are doing a smashing job as virgin bloggers over at Best Shot Productions
It is, without doubt, and in all honesty, the best LFW blog I’ve ever seen. So good, that I doubt I need to look for any others.
London Design Festival 2004
Time Out this week has a supplement on the London Design Festival. I’m most tempted by:
Communicate: Independent British Graphic Design since the ’60s twinned with Space of Encounter: The Architecture of Daniel Libeskind at the Barbican
Future Map Design 04, the University of the Arts combined graduates show
Playstation 2 presents Interact1 for newbies in the media industry
Own It – Intellectual Property in Design a debate hosted by The Creative London Intellectual Property Advice Service
The Big Draw 2004 – Art on the Square in Trafalgar Square on Sunday 26th.
But there’s loads and loads more stuff going on.
Live Bookmarks
Live Bookmarks are new in the preview release of Firefox 1.0 the browser from mozilla.org – I’ve just felt better all round since switching to Mozilla – I currently use an add-on to Mozilla mail to view my feeds, but there are two cool things about LBs, one they sit in the sidebar of the browser, so you see them while browsing without flicking between apps, and two, sites can be LB enabled to make it even easier to add feeds as bookmarks.
It’s all moving forwards – I love it.
Conference Bike
The ConferenceBike looks like terrific team-building fun.
“You share a moment in the outdoors, enjoying the company of 6 other riders; You go somewhere for an afternoon or a day; you take a picnic lunch; you move along on your on energy; renewable energy; you can also got a really good workout on a ConferenceBike if you want to And it’s a a great tool to network or teamwork. People even fall in love on a ConferenceBike”
Of course I don’t need a good workout, or to fall in love again, but I wouldn’t mind taking a group teamworking on one. The current price is 9500 euros which works out to about £6500 plus shipping from Germany, presumably you could go over and ride it back – you only need 70-odd people (twelve teams of six say) to pay £100 each to break even then one team a month would pay for storage and maintenance. I’m not promising anything, butg when I’ve got 70 people signed up I’m tempted to go over and get one.
