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 [...]

Free Time?

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

It’s been a little too long since I blogged, but blimey it’s been busy!
I’ve been wrapped up with completing our pitch to the BBC for the @North project. The team have been working on consecutive projects for another large broadcasting company which we’re very pleased with. We’re working on an augmented reality project. We won [...]

We’re moving… again!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Well, it has been a year (almost to the day) since we moved in to The Electric Works and we like to keep things fresh. We’re not moving too far this time – actually just in to the office next door. It’s approximately 1 meter door to door so hopefully it won’t take us too [...]

Ada Lovelace Day

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

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 [...]

Back to work

Monday, September 7th, 2009

… although as it’s September it feels a little like going back to school after the summer holidays.
Important things out the way first, the new addition to our team at home, Kirsty, was born a little later than expected, but all was good and she’s now happily joining her brother at nursery 2 days a [...]

Mini Cooper

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Haven’t posted for a while as things have been a bit hectic for us over the past couple of months.
Aside from our client work here at Team Cooper HQ, Emma and I have been working on another special project for the past 9 months – another baby!
Over the past couple of months we have had [...]

Electric Works – Testing the slide

Friday, February 27th, 2009

We went for another look around Electric Works today. I finally got to go on the Helter Skelter and can confirm that it is awesome.
Em recorded the historic event on her phone (excuse the grainyness) which you can watch below. Listen out for my girly laugh as I get to the bottom, followed by chuckles [...]
