Nike 1948 Popup Store in London
Edit: Popup store has popped-down.This store now appears to be closed. So don’t make a special trip to see it. If you’re in the Shoreditch area there’s a nice temporary pop-up Nike store just opposite Market Sports on Bateman’s Row. It’s…
Universities Are Hot On Google Adwords
I logged into my Gmail and picked up a message about a D&AD education thing I’m speaking at in September. And I suddenly noticed that I was surrounded by ads for clearing places at various Universities. I don’t know why I was surprised. Of…

Amazing Geo-Flickr on iPhone

Finally Someone’s Done Cool Bike Helmets
Big up the Danish company Yakkay. I’m so glad that someone’s made cycling helmets that don’t look like some piss-poor Tron rip-off or a bit of Super Mario fancy dress. It’s been on my list of things to sort out in the world for a while…
