My good friend Kataish at Odd-ish Creations has been hand carving stamps for the last couple of months and has been turning out some great stuff. So when I got a message from her with a link to the image below I was more then pleased to see my logo immortalized as a hand carved rubber stamp.

It’s always good to think about how you can extend you’re brand through little things like stickers and other giveaways. A custom stamp is a great addition to that arsenal, even if it’s only used for fun.

Make sure to check out her Esty store, Odd-ish Creations, and if you ever need a stamp made up I fully recommend going to Odd-ish Creations for them.

Just in time for summer Deys Fabricating and I are happy to unveil the new DeysFab.com website.

The design updates the previous static and dated version of the companies online presence, and brings a fantastic fresh design inspired by water and light.

Along with the new look, the back-end has undergone some radical changes. A new content management system was implemented, bringing with it a blog, an improved pattern showroom, and an easy to maintain site.

PodCamp London was a smashing success. Tons of people, plenty of great sessions, and best of all I got to see my work all over the place.

Over the last few months I’ve been helping make PodCamp London the best looking PodCamp ever. Everything from signage, stickers, name badges, to hats, shirts, and more I had my fingerprint on and it was fun to see it all come together. I even had a limited set of posters printed out that I had everyone sign. Bill and Titus, the main organizers, got two, and Duane Brown won the other. I hope they enjoy them as much as I enjoyed putting them together.

And speaking of sessions. Continue reading ‘PodCamp London 2009’

Last weekend was PodCamp Toronto, a free UnConference surrounding the ever evolving new media realm.

I attended several sessions that broke down into one of two categories; metrics and technical. I enjoyed the technical sessions a bit more, as the metrics sessions often felt like a sales pitch.

My favorite was Government 2.0 by Mike Kujawski. It helps that I’ve had some experience in this realm as well, before the term government 2.0 was even a gleam in someones eye I was pushing municipal governments to jump into the web and to use it to connect with citizens more directly and efficiently. The Mayor of Fort Frances got the message in early 2005 and despite being unfamiliar with new media he was willing to jump in feet first. So it’s always interesting to see where government is changing in response to shifting trends with citizens.

All in all it was a very enjoyable experience; I’ve already expressed my interest in helping organize next years PodCamp Toronto, and I got to meet a number of great people who I hope to stay in contact with. If you have the chance next year you should definitely come out, and in the mean time see if there is a PodCamp near you!
