So nice to see another designer say that marketing and design are linked. Time to dump our attitude about marketeers

wife

Just rewatched The Doctor's Wife. In my opinion the best Who episode ever made especially for long term viewers:

Boo. Missed church. Apparently i have now developed the ability to turn off alarms while sleeping. No memory of doing so but wife saud i did

Not often my wife takes a photo but then she manages to take a half decent one of me.

jawbone

My jawbone up vibrates to tell me I've been inactive too long. Decided to go nap instead. Does it know it's Sunday?

Bollocks. Looked down at my wrist to see my jawbone up is gone. I know it's in the house somewhere but can't find it after hours searching.

If anybody uses a jawbone UP I would love it if you added me to your "team".

Isn't it funny how your attitude goes through phases. Feeling more excited about both the web and Headscape than I have in years.

God bless America with its very reasonable attitude to gun control, healthcare and foreign policy.

.@leigh does make me laugh. He is feeling old this week and so has written some encouraging advise for the older designers among us.

Breaking free of the print design mentality

I have written a post on how we need to educate print designers and marketeers

We have questions about your website RFP (Request for Proposals)

I've posted an open letter to clients who issue requests for proposals. I find myself with a number of concerns:

All email clients that are built on top of Gmail needs a prominent "report spam" button. That is all. #boagworldProclamation

music

Have @jonathancoulton playing as background music at today's @smashingmag workshop. Seems appropriate.

RT @codepo8: Here is an idea. Maybe we can skip the piss-up after conferences and organise dinners without loud music and with space to chat instead.

Anybody got any spotify suggestions for high octane, instrumental music to keep me working tonight?
