School, Slow down

We've just finished a project with Elham CofE Primary School to slow drivers down around the school.

The school children were tasked to draw a sign and the best one was selected to form the basis of the sign. It was a great project and, not surprisingly, the standard of creativity was really high. Such fun working with the complete freedom of thought that children have.

The idea was to connect the sign with the reality and fragility of the actual children we're trying to protect. Let's hope it works.

Damien Collins MP Public Meeting

We recently did the publicity for a public meeting with our MP, Damian Collins.

The meeting was a review of his first year in the House. An interesting first year as he sits on the House of Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport. First FIFA and now the Murdochs. Exciting times in Culture, Media and Sport.

FileApp for my iPhone

Just found an app for my iPhone which increases its useability loads. FileApp is free and plugs two holes that I found really annoying about the iPhone:
1. It allows you to transfer files from Mac to iPhone over usb through iTunes
2. It allows you to send email attachments from your iPhone

Travelling with iPhone and Mac laptop recently I found that in several places there was ample phone signal to email a file I needed to send but I couldn't email from the laptop as there was no wifi. I couldn't transfer the file from laptop to iPhone by usb. In standard guise you can only do this in iTunes if they are music, apps, movies, tv shows or photos. What use is that to a business? Neither can you link an iPhone and Mac using Bluetooth. Even if you could get the file onto the iPhone, there's no attachments facility in iPhone Mail.

Apple would do well to also consider business users.
