This is the first entry in a semi-regular series sharing things that we’ve been looking at and reading recently …

Sarah (one of our project managers)

• Broadband becomes a legal right in Finland

• Guggenheim collaborates with YouTube and invites video submissions

Sue (one of our designers, recently returned from a break in the sunny northern hemisphere)

• Eye-candy and inspiration on www.citid.net

• Great experimental fonts (also: free!)

• Lighten up your winter blues: heaps of colour and shapes on Coolhunter

Alastair (one of our developers)

• Firefox 4 introduces more HTML 5 and CSS functionality. One step further towards the death of Flash? Still in beta so one for the developers.

• Excellent! Wayne and Garth spotted in the UK. Party on!

Rachel (our office manager)

• Artist creates masterpiece on an iPad

• World Cup 2010 statistics: all the key data for each team, from the Guardian

(Rachel notes that she’s not as much of a sports fiend as the above link might suggest, and also recommends data/infographic blog Cool Infographics)

Jake (who looks after our usability testing tool IntuitionHQ)

• David Gillis on Fusing Content Strategy with Design, in UX Magazine

• The Real Life Social Network, slides from a presentation by Paul Adams, Senior User Experience Researcher at Google

• Significant Objects, an investigation of art and the market through short stories and eBay

• Swallows and Amazons, the current exhibition at Robert Heald Gallery, which is close to our office – on show until 31 July.
