Soda Creative
Our old friend Tim Diggins is involved with this company which consists of artists, developers and entrepreneurs best known for their BAFTA-winning online construction environment, Sodaplay
.
Sodaconstructor
is a construction kit for interactive creations using masses and springs. By altering physical properties like gravity, friction, and speed, curiously anthropomorphic models can be made to walk, climb, wriggle, jiggle, or collapse into a writhing heap.
Marvellous.

The barman says, "Get out! We don't want your type in here."
How many designers does it take to change a light bulb?
Couldn't say--ask an account executive.
How many web designers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Three. One to change the structure, one to update the style, and one to blog about the inadequate bulb support offered by today’s socket manufacturers.
What font did the astrologist use to write the daily horoscopes?
Futura
1st Designer: “Wow, you always have so many fonts, where do you get them from?”
2nd Designer: “Oh they come from Monaco, Geneva, Chicago, New York… I get them delivered at various Times throughout the day…”
1st Designer: “By who?”
2nd Designer: “A Courier!”
What did the horse say to Bordeaux?

Lock up your daughters, the iPhone's in town
My head said no, my heart said yes.... my heart won! I know what the critics say – a meagre 2 MB camera, a lack of 3G and a fixed 8 GB drive. Frankly, who cares! It's beautiful, it's tactile and it makes you smile like a cheshire cat whenever you need to phone, email, surf, text, make the coffee.... well maybe not but you get the idea.Critics smitics. My only question is why didn't someone do this sooner?

Mac OS X Leopard
We've had this in the office for a week or so now and have to say it's pretty impressive. Lots of new features and an all round smoother interface.Better than that though, nothing stopped working when we switched over.
