I’ve been using Visual Thesaurus for some time now. But my Mac upgrade has rendered the app useless.
Enter Graph Words, free, beautiful and very useful.

Wheel of concept

I’m sure you’ve all been through this…

Sometimes you may not have an idea, but you still need to make that meeting. Fortunately, now there’s an easy way to be a “rock star.”
Spin the wheel, download your concept board, and seal the deal.

It’s here..

Burning Man 2010

Lawrence Garwood — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 21:35:00 +0000

Over the past few days, I have been gradually posting images of my adventures (with some dear friends) to Burning Man on flickr (also enclosed in this post). Pictures and words can not describe how amazing it was.

The image you see above here is a satellite image of the whole dam thing…. just look how amazingly organised it is.. we lived at 9.30 and Detroit. Work it out for your selves.. Lots of Rum, Vodka, Miso soup, beef jerky the Gourd and what not, were consumed.

Surreal, creative, fun, bloody mad, exhausting, inspiring – are just a few one worders that only scrape the surface.

There was no animosity whatsoever and this was so much better than any English festival experience I could possibly imagine. No rubbish, carnage, mess, just a deep respect for the surroundings.

A huge 200 art installations where dotted around the Playa and mutant vehicles, bikes, dust storms, lots of laughs etc..
I just want to thank the lovely people that joined me on this amazing adventure, they know who they are….

On the organisational front, I’ll be going again next year for sure. Get in touch if you need some hot tips etc.. I hope you enjoy my photos.
See you at 9.30 and Detroit.

I’ll definitely be doing some sky diving over the Man next time.

The Future of the Book

Watch IDEO’s vision for the future of the book and meet Nelson, Coupland, and Alice — are these the future of tomorrow’s books. They look into the new and unique user experiences that link all discussions and influences around literature, they look at the value created by connected readers to one another, and they have built in ways we might use to tell our favorite stories and build community around books (essentially ARG’s)? All in all quite nice..
