I went to Salesforce.com’s Cloudforce event in London’s Excel Centre. Salesforce.com transforms the enterprise technology space, but its marketing was a distinctly old school technology marketing event which feels like it has some old-time religious revival fervour. The demo that most impressed me was of Activision’s customer service, which was focused around a repository of [...]

A smart well-designed contextual advert for Sonos on the Jubilee line. It shows a good understanding of the likely involved decision making the customer is going to make on the home sound purchase journey and shows a confidence in their product.

‘The Golden Age of Silicon Valley Is Over, and We’re Dancing on its Grave’ – Derek Thompson – Business – The Atlantic – chasing the easy money.

With the demise of Donna Summer I thought a fair bit about the Giorgio Moroder sound from Donna Summer to the Munich Machine albums so I guess this maybe the reason why I liked this mix so much by Glaswegian four-piece Errors.

The easiest way I had to think of the Werkbench application was imagine if Roger Linn designed a steam-punk version of the Akai MPC60 and it was transformed into an iPad application. It has an intuitive interface like early drum machines. If it took MIDI instructions it would be an ideal way of building tracks. [...]

I was out at a meeting yesterday when the Facebook IPO got under-way and watched the screen as the Facebook share price didn’t do a lot. This has been called a lot of things: dud, disappointment, failure. I think that these reflect disappointment from a speculator point of view. My own reaction was of being [...]

I'm not usually a fan of Italian denim brands in general, since they are too style and not enough of a workwear feel for me. But I may think about these tops that G-Star Raw has done with Marc Newson which look as if Newson has channeled the ghost of Keith Haring - Feb 19, 11
Amazing technical shoes. Nike has been doing a lot of designs reaching back to early ACG designs and Huarache kicks. But some of the materials have let them down. However these blew me away. - Feb 17, 11
