The clever folk at Amnesia

I try not to make a habit of blogging about things which have been thrashed in the blogesphere, but these folk deserve another social media point.

Surface Tables are pretty neat to begin, but this technology which allows you to seamlessly transfer content from the table to your mobile device is incredible. It’s a shame that the only place I would know where to find a Surface Table is in the Amnesia offices themselves.

In fact most people I have talked to are amazed that I’ve actually played with one, because they are so obscure in this part of the world. I’m certainly looking forward to the hardware becoming cheaper and more readily available so Amnesia Connect can be used.

Speaking of my time at Amnesia. One time the art director who sat next to me had some woman’s togs on his desk. I asked what they were for and he said he was going to a photo shoot after work. I thought he was a bit weird.

Fast forward a few months and it turns out they weren’t just some random prop, but actually togs he’d designed for the launch of his label We Are Handsome. Tyra Banks freaking loves them and even Rhianna has a pair! I feel a great sense of pride knowing Jeremy and seeing how well the brand is going!

What a talented bunch of people (<3 to the social meda "ninjas" too).

PS. I should add to the list this article by Karalee about the dire need for reform in mental health treatment. It’s discussion like this which instigates change.
