Studio AKA do it again with this wicked little animation for the BBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympics. Check out hellokinsella’s post to see some of the other BBC sport animated shorts from the past few years.

“The UK web design scene is often just self serving, indulgent bullshit...”
– Some pretty valid points here. Part of me wonders if the cliquey nature of web designers has something to do with how many of us are geeks and were never allowed in cliques in ‘real life’! Walk in the park, look at the sky.

Open Atrium →
I’ve been using the (free) project collaboration platform Open Atrium tonight. It’s great - easily one of the best I’ve used. I particularly like the way that structured revisioned documents can be created without having to have tons of word documents to download. Introducing Open Atrium from Development Seed on Vimeo.

Lord Whitney →
The talented duchesses of all thing make believe Lord Whitney have updated their portfolio. I effing love this shot of their studio. I wish my desk looked like that, rather than a sickly green laminated square of mediocrity.

This is how you make an impression. Matthew Young is a placement I’ve got coming into our office next week. Instead of sending an email asking what he should bring/wear when he starts, he produced this great little animation and sent it to me instead. http://www.vimeo.com/8861569 What a great way to make an impression! He’s already wowed Ben and Abi with his response to their “Make us...

Wow - can’t believe I’d not seen these before. Love Sport series by the ridiculously talented Studio AKA. Thanks for the heads up @eins_ah! (update - qoob.tv servers seem to be a bit flakey. Try later if it’s not loading, well worth the wait)

This book looks amazing, and the perfect antidote to the mollycoddling that seems to prevail in modern parenting. I’m getting one for my godson. But probably won’t be telling his folks… via @flipper02

Resolute
After a rather successful year of nailing all of my 2009 resolutions (more live music, buy house, more quality time with Xbox, stop presuming everyone you meet is an idiot), and after beating one of my 2010 ones already (destroying Nick at squash. In a fashion. That involved me doing commando rolls around the court), the blogging is starting in earnest. I’ve managed to help create one of...
