cmyplayStore Launching Soon

Posted by thedebaser on March 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

In the third update to cmyplay in as many weeks, the cmyplayStore is set to go live soon. While this is not strictly an update to this site as such, it is expanding on the cmyplay online footprint. After struggling along with a locally hosted ecommerce installation, my PHP skills (which are entirely self taught) finally gave way to the pressures of effective branding and convenient... Read More

Nicholas Felton’s Annual Report Redux: 2008 Report

Posted by thedebaser on March 21, 2009 · 3 Comments

The newer edition trades in the three-coloured, seemingly hand-stitched, typographically flourished and ligatured form for a four-coloured, reflective silver- inked, fold-out poster one.

Checking the market indicators today made me grateful for being back home. This time last week we were checking in at Virgin’s self-service kiosk at Heathrow. The both of us were relieved and surprised to have fit everything into our luggage with 10kg to spare. This time around I’m returning pretty light in the gadget department. While the Dreamcast is a replacement... Read More

Nicholas Felton’s Annual Report

Posted by thedebaser on September 25, 2008 · 6 Comments 

I can’t remember how I discovered Nicholas Felton’s self-initiated Annual Report. Having printed a third edition this year, I’d like to get my hands on a fourth edition when it hopefully becomes available. Possibly the first example of “reality design”, the collected statistics go beyond being the sum of a man’s activities over the course of a... Read More
