Mr. SpoiltVictorianChild to be wed!

Simon SpoiltVictorianChild is in love and getting married! That’s so made my weekend, congratulations to you both! I’m looking forward to the after-party (hopefully it’s on the Island) and reckon a live webcast would be most fitting!

Computer mag in “good design” shocker!

Creative Review point out the recent redesign of German magazine PC Professionell by Spiekermann Partners. (The name may seem familiar because of famous typographer Erik Spiekermann.)

Google keeps your data accessible

Matt Cutts explains how Google keeps your data accessible and why this is a good thing. I fully agree and wish Microsoft would do the same with Hotmail, I know countless people who would love to switch but are trapped in by their data.
