excerpt
So I was recently talking to a colleague about the amount of human capital that is wasted as we fly through projects, coming up with great ideas, putting them on the board and moving on to the next challenge. I’ve started reviewing older work with a view to pulling out quality thinking that might bring some value.

So I finally got the old goPro working. Turns out an SD card that fits in the slot can mess up the way the camera works. Who knew, silly me;-)

So way back when, I fell in love with photography (or being a photographer?) and built a darkroom and started using my dad’s SR-T303 (black body, lots of brass showing through, mystical “passed” sticker…) eventually, I discovered RC paper (Ilford’s 44M pearl finish became a favourite).

This week has me confused by the exchanges on Medium between David Spiegelhalter and Michael Levitt not least because they’re both geniuses who can’t bloody well figure out how to use the comment system on Medium so their discussion is disjointed and all over the place. I guess I’ll carry on being confused until the next pearl of wisdom drops…

What sucks about this is Ronnie delivered more debt and more inequality than anyone had managed before. With his invitée Margaret (Thatcher) really moved neoliberal ‘trickle-down’ thinking into the conservative mainstream.
There will come a time when I no longer find myself getting depressed about the behaviour and beliefs of the American People every. single. day. and I can write and think about other things for a change.
So #QueenElizabeth, my Dad was a scout at your coronation and his family has felt you close to them over the years, starting with your broadcasts during the blitz (he was in Golders Green then) and continuing over many years. While I’m not a fan of monarchy as a political system, may I wish you a very happy birthday and thank you for your decades of selfless, graceful and determined service to us all:-)

So this thing popped up on Twitter. The letter was attributed to Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee but the scan has a Craig Alan Wilkins as the author. Either way, I thought it would be better as text so crawlers could hold the thought forever…

Still digging through the old Donkey images folder. I’m guessing half of these ancient pics don’t have a post associated with them anymore seeing as I’ve broken the canonical URL at least twice in the Twenty years this has been online. The 1980’s style shirt is made from a Metro ticket. A guy I worked with at Wanadoo in Paris would make them in meetings and leave them around (like he was Edward James Olmos in Bade Runner…)

Just wow. This show just popped up on France24. The collection was presented in a post climate disaster scene, broken stormy skies, floods in the arena and the first few rows of seats inaccessible to the usual a-listers because literally under water. Brilliant.

So have just received my first ‘mock-paye’ payslip (aka inside-IR35). My first question is down to the wording; what is an “applicable company deduction”. I ask because I thought you were saying my company wasn’t a proper company? Righto, need to get a bit more info on how this is supposed to work.

Just walked past an optician in Soho with a poster for Michel Henau glasses in the window. Love these mashups of 60s and 70s French celebs with Japanese names (Deneuve = Namaste? not sure how that works but I smiled).

excerpt
I spoke on a topic that’s become very near and dear to my heart in the past few years: saying “no”. It might be saying no to a project or job, or even something that you think you can’t say no to, but finding the strength to set your own priorities for what you want is one of the most crucial things you can do in life. Saying no used to make me uncomfortable, and despite making many mistakes on my way there, I’ve learned to feel good about saying it. The talk is just a short 20 minutes, but sums up most everything I’ve learned about the topic in all my years working and living.

So I hacked a short video review of the Brakeboard truck and wheel kit (version 3.5) together last night. Quality’s a bit rubbish but perfect being the enemy of done etc. so I’ve just uploaded it. Key product details from video are:

So much of what enters the popular lexicon depends upon small happy accidents: chance encounters, misreadings, gaffes, extemporaneous bursts of inspiration. Artists attuned to the strange in the mundane pick up on odd moments of beauty and weirdness and redeploy them in new works. And in the dawn of the digital age, that redeployment accelerates to such a degree that one such moment can spawn whole movements in months.

Checking your phone on Hogmanay eh? This piece from 2013 on the amen break just popped up in my twitter feed via openculture.com and got me thinking of challenges ahead (I also love the fact that the talk is a disposable demo pressing itself which is kind of a circular thing etc.)

OK kids, it happened today. The PM (Theresa May at this point) triggered Article 50 by formally delivering a letter to the EU (pictures of bloke doing the delivering in all the papers). It’s a 2-year process, this means we leave Europe no later than April 2019.

Cronauer: She spills soup all over you, looks at you like, "Eh, I'm sorry. What are you gonna do about it, asshole?" What would you say to her? They spilled something on your pants. What would you do? Wilkie: I do nothing. Cronauer: Come on Wilkie, it's cursing class. You're gettin' pissed off. What would you do? Wilkie: I just remain reticent. Cronauer: She goes in the kitchen, she gets a knife, she starts stabbing you. She's stabbing you, putting forks in you. She's got spoons in your eyes, Wil! They're startin' to cut you with knives, puttin' spoons in your eyes. What would you do Wilkie? What would you do? Wilkie: I'm waiting to die.

CU-1 on tender-hooks yesterday as councils were due to send out emails at 17.30 with news of secondary school places.

On 2nd June 1953 my dad had just turned 18. He was a Queen’s Scout, and attended the coronation as part of the “Scouts on duty at Coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II” effort. I was trying to find some items that might show CU-2 and CU-1 what it would have been like to be a Queen’s Scout on the day, but the nearest I’ve come across is this RKO Newsreel footage.
“Look at me Dad, I can run up the slide”. Well done, Hal! nice moves:-) I can’t remember the last time I was in a park with the kids. Mostly it seems we’re dropping off or picking up from viola practice or Enjoyaball, it’s so rare to just be killing time, goofing around on the zip-wire, climbing the tension frame…
Love this from @doctorow in theguardian …the tautological legitimacy of success -- “You are an upstanding firm because you got rich, therefore the way you got rich must be upstanding.” And yes, this is a little embarrassing having two Doctorow posts…
Not a Ludlum novel in my case but the remarkable effect of one retweet by mr @doctorrow. Looks like a 7-point hike in a day.

OK, call me a lefty ideologue who laps up whatever nonsense the Democrats put out but I’ve been watching the Romney v. Gingritch thing and I just don’t understand how these massively un-presidential types think they have more to offer than President Obama? True, Gingritch played to the “authenticity” megatrend by speaking his mind about his ex-wife’s ABC appearance and it’s probably this same megatrend that caused South Carolina Republicans to down-grade Romney for his evasiveness around his taxes. But that doesn’t make him White House material, not by a mile.

CU-2 never ceases to surprise me. The other morning he corners me and demands we play his new game he’s just invented. He spends at least 15 minutes explaining what dots mean and how you rub random bits out with your finger and that impacts your performance and the points out the final destination stop. First person to get there wins but the point of the game is random and is just about drawing interesting shapes, arguing about the rules and just generally enjoying the delightful complexity of the thing.

“Recently, A/B testing has come under (unjust) criticism from different
circles on the Internet. Even though this criticism contains some
relevant points, the basic argument against A/B testing is flawed. It
seems to confuse the A/B testing methodology with a specific
implementation of it (e.g. testing red vs. green buttons and other
trivial tests). Let’s look at different criticisms that have surfaced on
the Web recently and see why they are unfounded.”

Does the prettiness of your website effect customers perception of your prices. In short yes.
This thinking goes against every tissue of my fibre, but seeing it in reality, its interesting that sites which are less design orientated have a huge following and enviable conversion rates.
An example of this was in my previous role where an xml partner had large booking figures and looked like it had been designed by your 5 year old nephew. http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/

excerpt
Setup guide from Google Website Optimizer on the subject of testing old versus new. I dont think this fits with current model at dsgi but provides useful articles in interpreting test results going forward.
<div>Google Website Optimiser</div><div> Content: Redesigning your website is a major undertaking, and can have a huge effect on
your conversions. If done by an outside agency, it can also cost thousands of dollars,
so you want to be sure that the new design is really working for you. Website Optimizer
can measure this.
Before pulling down your old site and replacing it with the new, run an experiment
pitting the two versions against each other. To do so:
Upload your new site into a subdirectory (eg. www.example.com/newsite/).
You may wish to prevent search engine crawling of this directory, through
the use of a robots.txt file. You should also make sure that users are not
able to navigate between your two sites (eg. new product detail pages linking
to your old site's privacy policy page), or your experiment may fail.
Create a new A/B experiment in Website Optimizer.
In the A/B setup, enter your old site's URL in the Original
page URL field.
Your new site's URL goes into the Page variation URL field.
In the Conversion page URL field, enter the conversion page for your old site.
You'll identify your new site's conversion page later, by adding conversion
code to that page.
When adding the Website Optimizer code to your pages:
Original page code: add
this to your old site's landing page
Variation pages code: add to your new site's
landing page
Conversion page code: add this to both your new and your old sites'
conversion pages.
This experiment setup will serve your old site to one group of visitors, and your
new site to the remaining visitors. With enough traffic, you’ll soon be able to
measure the improvements you’ve wrought with your site’s redesign.</div>

I had an idea of how we could perhaps make the category pages a bit more fun and interesting. Instead of a strapline along the usual lines of 'come to Currys to buy a TV' we could put some funny/poignant quotes relating to the products. Examples like these I found on the web:
TVTelevision! Teacher, mother, secret lover. - Homer Simpson
Computing
"Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog." - Doug Larson
"Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living." - Nicholas Negroponte
Data storage"Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse?" - Author Unknown
PC software"In God we trust, all others we virus scan." - Author Unknown
Internet communications"The Internet? Is that thing still around?" - Homer Simpson
iPods"I get the shuffle and then I shuffle the shuffle." - US President George W Bush
Cooking and Kitchen
"The kitchen is a country in which there are always discoveries to be made." - Grimod de la Reynière (1758-1838)</font></font>

A former colleague (Conversion Manager) posted this article on lean software development which might be interesting going forward. He was happy for me to share his post.
The premise of this is to take small iterative steps in a MVT environment to really make the biggest steps forward in terms of value. Its a little different from the way things currently work which in essense is a waterfall process (Design it - Build it - Release and hope for the best).

I was talking with Chris Brown today about the way we use banners on the business’s website. Looking at analytical data on the homepage these banners are rarely clicked compared to the products we display.
The problem, as I see it, is that we are juggling two different requirements. One is to serve the customer and the other is to serve the supplier who pays to showcase their products.
The issue in continuing in this manner is that we dilute the product offering and end up focussing on nothing in particular and conversion ultimately will suffer.
As the conversation progressed we arrived at the conclusion that banners would better our customers if they were specific. At present we show (for example) a “sharp quattron” tv banner for all users. From a sales point of view, it may an easy sell to say we can target {x} amount of users through our website but in doing so you may only target 0.2% of the audience and be completely irrelevant to other 98%.
A way around this would be to generate banners around user history and display banners based on a users browsing habits. If a user visits {brand}, typically to comparison shop, and comes back to {brand} we can target them based on their criteria. In doing so we can shout to suppliers that we effectively target users specifically at a higher converstion rate than before.
From a customers point of view, this would increase relevance and therefore confidence in the shopping experience.
I have worked in an environment where developers have written similar functionality, but in that case the site was 100% under our development control. Assuming that with GEM we do not have this luxury, maybe a third party product is required.
Choicestream may or may not solve this issue, its a good starting point of reference, and may help convince people that requirements should be re-aligned.

Love Hockney’s dances with technology and commerce… Don’t know if any of you have played with the Hockneyizer application (loads of fun) which is based on his work with the SX70 Polaroid format in the 1970’s (this example is CU-1, my daughter).

Have been thinking about how brands need engagement systems built on dialogue and transparency (and risk-sharing and access to commercial data) and had a bit of a smile this weekend as I’ve just activated my new GiffGaff SIM card. GiffGaff is an experiment launched by O2 to test this stuff. The idea is that the baseline service (the quality and hygiene) is provided by the O2 network but the value negotiation is handled by GiffGaff.

I recently tried out the @verynetwork web store to get a feel for what retailers are up to these days. This store is run by the same company that redeployed Woollies as a digital pure-play but doesn’t have the brand equity that Woolworths does. Incidentally, the fact they’ve launched a party-specific url suggests they’ve done a lot to understand the needs of the average Woollies customer.

I wished I had been recording Cory Doctorow (above) instead of photographing him as he made a beautifully worded case for the absurdity of the bill.

We buried Ruth in clearing Jobbles Wood, down in Devon near her home. In the days before the ceremony people came together to decorate the area with plants and things made from the trees. One item was an apple tree that was placed there in amongst the pines. Her friends and family gathered on the day and attached memories to the tree like little paper leaves.

This post isn't so much about the usefulness of mailing lists as a discussion medium, it's the complete failure of Google Groups as an adequate purveyor of public discussion software. For the jQuery project we're already in the process of moving the full discussion area to a forum that we control. We should have it set up, and everything moved over, within the next month or two.

One the things I find most wonderful about type is that the typographer invests the sum of human experience into the tiniest, most trivial form.

excerpt
A nice man called David tweeted me once with a link to a video of Russell Davies talking about interestingness, size and creativity. In the video, Russell refers to a project I did a couple of years ago for Birdseye. I just wanted to thank David as it’s always nice to know there are people out there who share the passions I get out of bed for:-)

So here’s a use case I thought had gone away years ago… Nicki is driving, Dug’s riding shotgun and the kids are in the back. We’re all trying to squeeze in a quick flooring purchase to finish CU-2’s room today because we need it for his cousin who is coming to stay.
