Balancing Act in Vancouver

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

I’ve just come back from Team Coopers’ first transatlantic exhibition. I was the lucky one selected magnanimously by Tim to go out and take care of a small game made to drive booth activity at a medical congress in Vancouver, Canada.
“What’s all that mean?” I expect you’re crying at your screens in eager interest. Well [...]

The Children’s Media Conference

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

What an interesting time I had last week at The Children’s Media Conference in beautiful sunny Sheffield.
The keynote speech by Henry Winkler blew me away. I had no idea about his struggles with dyslexia or being accepted by his parents. I didn’t know about his advocacy work for children and I certainly didn’t know that [...]

Ada Lovelace Day

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

It’s the second official Ada Lovelace day. Ada Lovelace was pretty much the first female computer programmer. In her honour lots of people are blogging today about women in technology.
So I’d have something to write about I actively went out to find (Googled) some female role models working in technology. Even though 2 weeks ago I couldn’t [...]

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Maybe it’s the time of year but we’ve really been feeling the love recently.

Last Friday I attended We Love Technology which kicked of Sheffield’s lovebytes festival this year and I came away from it all giddy with techno joy. There was lots of talk about a convergence of ideas between the many different fields of design, craft, diy [...]

Six months @ Electric Works

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Amazingly, it’s now been just over six months since we moved in to Electric Works which is weird because it still feels like we only just moved in. I guess thats because the building is still so shiny and new. That and the fact we’ve been pretty busy with various projects and bringing up our two [...]
