Word Music. April 2012. Last week I shared some sneak peeks into the "Missions" project.

April 2012

Over the course of the week I have worked with my team and gained some clarity around the scope of the project- and surprise surprise have a ton more questions. In an effort to gain this clarity I worked closely with Michelle Levesque and sketched out some wireframes and mockups. I am going to try to walk through them here. However, before I can do that, I would like to start this post with a fail. I made this mockup here trying to combine the "WebpageMaker" tool with the "Missions" concept and mocked that up using the openbadges.org template and came up with this: After mocking it up, I showed it to people and realized that I couldn't communicate the idea simply and the feedback proved it. Note: this is best viewed on my Flickr feed because I added notes so you can see what things say and mean. This wireframe shows two separate pages: a tool page and a projects page.

You're probably already familiar with the innovations that have blazed an early CARING trail. The Nest smart thermostat*, NIKE fuelband and Fitbit, for example. But now, as consumer demand and technological capacity converge, the INTERNET OF CARING THINGS will evolve in exciting new directions. Check out the examples below – divided into five categories of CARING – for a glimpse of these... * Indeed, just after we first wrote about the INTERNET OF CARING THINGS in December 2013, Google placed a USD 3.2 billion bet on it with their purchase of Nest Labs.

Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young

Most of us, alas, will never be invited to sow our words of wisdom among an audience of caps and gowns, but there's no reason we can't entertain ourselves by composing a Guide to Life for Graduates. I encourage anyone over 26 to try this and thank you for indulging my attempt.Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97: Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. Chibird. Bosnian Problems.

Album Review. Back in the tender year of late 2005, amongst the impromptu Tsunami sized waves of hysteria that started to escalate around Sheffield's, young but constantly NME featured indie band Arctic Monkeys, Jon McClure was scouring every nook and cranny in the town for musicians to form Reverend and The Makers - and was also reportedly offered up to £150,000 from major records labels to make an album just like the debut of his Sheffield peers.

Album Review

*COOL FACT* - Jons brother Chris McClure is the guy you see smoking on the cover of 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' by Arctic Monkeys. Now 32, McClure, often referred to as The Reverend, has embraced his age by naming his bands very new creation after it and although a huge UK tour would usually be enough for any band, McClure has decided to take it one step further - by doing spontaneous 'decided on the night' house gigs for lucky fans up and down the country before the actual tour has even kicked off.
