A cacophony of email, texts, phone calls, Facebook messages and tweets all at the same time is beautifully captured in Chris Crutchfield’s video. What’s the solution to notification-mania? Can we be productive under these conditions (it’s very hard at least)?

Stop Redesigning, Start Tuning
Wednesday 16th May 2012
As responsible web designers we need to approach a website ‘upgrade’ in a manner that is good for both the site’s stakeholders and the end users. This means an end to ‘this massive redesign will fix everything…forever’ process that repeats every few years, and a start to a process which involves a diagnostic into where a website is falling down for the important users using the important features:
“You’ll also see a short head when it comes to your website’s features. People need just a few of them; the rest are gravy.”

github
Monday 30th April 2012
This is actually quite fun posting to github, need to find something fun to code now! The only thing of mine on there is a bit pooh though tbh.
Who Am I?
Will is studying Mechanical Engineering at Nottingham. He loves the internet, gadgetry and generally anything else with buttons on it. The stereotype of the kid who was fascinated by wires and used to take everything apart definitely applies here (most things broke, but let's not dwell on that here).In 2010 he was the MD of the only under-18s run radio station in the UK, OSCAR Radio, and is looking to bring his knowledge of conventional broadcast to partner it with a very different medium: the web.
He also adores writing in the third person, this does seam a bit silly.
