I am currently working on Abraham Darby Sports and Learning Community project which is due for completion this year. It is a 1050 place Academy, 400 place Primary school and community Leisure Centre. The project is featured on The Shropshire Star website with a nice video. More photographs etc to fo...

Someone has done a quick assessment of what 1 trillion dollars looks like using Google Sketchup. Here are the results.

I would not have bothered. I think I would have found the nearest coffee shop and gone there to use their free wifi once a day! Amazingly in Cornwall on a camp site my mobile internet was as fast as Manchester City Centre!

BBC article which shows the average Broadband speeds in the UK. It is interesting that Virgin Media has the best average in the list but is also the only company I know who relies on full optical cable delivery for their main distribution (although I think that they have some delivery over copper n...

We have updated the forum software to 3.0.9, please let me know if you spot any errors. Thanks.

Moritzburg Museum Extension by Niento Sobejano Architects is a supurb building. This is my favourite type of building and elegantly done.

Think of the other benefit. Computer goes pop but you just buy a new mac, log into your account and re-d...

I am liking the start of the iCloud beta. Although you can always re-download an app that you have purchased you need to be able to find it again and also remember that you have bought it in the first place. The 'app store' on your iPhone has now been udpated and you will find a handy 'Purchased' se...

Lion updates. Especially like the version tracking and autosaving. Nice touches there to make computer use even easier. I wonder how many of the developers will use this functionality from the box (I am looking at you Microsoft Office).

WWDC 2011 announcements . No new iphone announced but there has been an announcement on the new operating system 'Lion' (I wonder when they will run out of big cats?!), iOS 5 with some amazing features and iCloud. They seem to have been sweeping up a lot of niggles with the iOS software in this rel...

Mille Feuille Bank. A beautiful use of colour. Who says that banks need to be stuffy and boring?!

I found one called FLB bricks. They are stunning!
