Open Visual Thinkery
My eldest son is at it again.
This time it’s funky labels for his mother’s freshly made Orange Marmalade. We keep this stuff in our cellar, so when we send one of the minions down for another jar (height restrictions mean it’s a yogic experience for the taller man…) there’s a collective marvelling at the loveliness of the label, long since forgotten by even the creator themselves.
It’s a bit like those photo memories your phone pops up – only much stickier…
I belong to a community church – and last weekend we gathered up our families and spent a retreat in a woodland adventure centre outside London.

Next Generation Digital Learning Environment – a LEGO approach…

Naked laptop? Yes, I thought so… Well, for the next few days only, you’ll be able to tattoo your laptop with some of my artwork exclusively via this Indigogo crowdfunding campaign. Don’t miss out!
P.S. Any surplus will go towards my non-profit wapisasa C.I.C!
I had the pleasure of meeting Audrey Watters in Barcelona recently. This laptop sticker was a side thought from Audrey in the conversation with some other lovely people (Jim Groom, Doug Belshaw, Martin Weller and Sheila MacNeill) that I had to create as an image. If you want to turn it into a real laptop sticker, this transparent PDF should do the trick…
