Refresh Dublin
“Refresh Dublin is an event that promotes design, technology, usability and standards. It is a part of and inspired by the Refreshing Cities movement.

How did Refresh Dublin start?
I noticed that Jared Spool was speaking at a Refresh Seattle event last May. The Portland and Boston events looked really good also. Refresh Belfast started earlier this year and that’s doing great – growing to over 200 attendees at the most recent event. Before long, the word was out and there was no turning back – Refresh Dublin was born. After a few tweets, e-mails and an initial meeting, a few people from the web and interactive media community in Dublin came on board.

I attended the advance/ member preview of the new Science Gallery exhibit yesterday evening – ‘What If…’.

The exhibition is curated by leading London based design duo Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby (www.dunneandraby.co.uk).
The project features some very visual and interesting design works, produced by twenty designers from around the world, as well as a range of thought-provoking questions. The exhibition is interesting to me on a number of levels. Read the rest of this entry »

At the beginning of September, I was invited (via Twitter) to take part in a photowalk for Jap-Fest, a festival of Japanese motorsport and motoring, at Mondello Park. While I am more of a motorbike enthusiast, I have always liked motor-sports cars and racing as well, so I was looking forward to photographing the event. Read the rest of this entry »
