I’ve been watching people in the US try things with Muse – and now dots – while sitting here in Europe checking what we’re actually allowed to use. Another demo. Another app-store search. Another wait. Europe feels stuck in permanent fast-follower mode. The regulatory landscape doesn’t exactly help that feeling. New tools appear across theContinueContinue reading “The future arrived.

The Stuff & Things Lab: I built an App with zero coding skills. Here’s the prototype…
https://youtube.com/shorts/TwKYYHxagJM?feature=share You know that feeling when your brain is a browser with 47 tabs open? I wrote a book about it (Stuff and Things), trying to capture the haphazard collection of professional musings and life in advertising. But a book is static. Once it’s printed, the ink is dry. My brain, however, keeps making noise.ContinueContinue reading “The Stuff & Things Lab: I built an App with zero coding skills. Here’s the prototype…”
Same but different: Where Artistic Intelligence Meets Artificial Intelligence
The topic of AI, unsurprisingly, comes up increasingly at the agency. Sometimes because clients explicitly ask, sometimes it just emerges naturally.

Stuff and Things – I wrote a book
It’s everyone else’s fault really. They kept telling me to write a book. So I did. Here it is. https://youtu.be/f0mVgzUZ81E Stuff and Things. The title pretty much self-completed when I started this blog thing many moons and 568 posts ago in 2007 and called it “[bluurb] stuff and things i thought you might like toContinueContinue reading “Stuff and Things – I wrote a book”
One picture, many stories
I can hardly tell people to be curious, experiment and try new things if I don’t do it myself. So when my good friend Eraldo Mussa asked me to contribute a short story based on a stimulus of one photo and one line, I said yes. I’ve always enjoyed stories. I think writing is anContinueContinue reading “One picture, many stories”
