Collate

The Grafikcache has seemingly been reborn as Collate. Spotted this last week after randomly clicking on my Grafikcache bookmark and was whisked off to somewhere lovely and new with massive pictures!

Back at last

The holidays are over and I’m back – albeit in a very slow and slightly plodding manner! Plenty seems to have gone on in my absence – a new site for Bibliothèque, the D&AD’s and of course the kick off of the World Cup. Thanks to everyone for continuing to submit work and sites – I shall try and get through them all soon.

Bitique goes on holiday

I shall be jetting off on my holidays tomorrow so there will be no Bitique for a whole two weeks I’m afraid. I’ll be back tanned and refreshed with – hopefully – some developments to the site to add to our recent iPhone app.

Laters!

Bitique App

Bitique is now available on your iPhone courtesy of the new app we have launched in collaboration with Nerves of Zurich. Dan Krusi and his team have put together a cracking little app which is available from the Apple App Store right now and won’t cost you a bean! Many thanks to Dan and the chaps at Nerves for all their hard work.

Gone househunting

Apologies for no Bitique today and the general randomness of posting over the past week or so.

Not only am I househunting today but I’ve also been dealing with building societies and tending to a little gerbil called The Bandit (yes her sister is called Smokey) who has a fractured leg at the moment – poor little blighter. Your normal daily dose of goodness will return next week.
