The new look for IHArchitects.com Having just reworked the content and given a mild update to the appearance of Richard and Simon’s web site in January, we decided to ask Caroline Archer, the graphic designer who did their logo and corporate image, to give it the once-over. This time we have kept . . . → Read More: Complete make-over for IHArchitects.com Seen today, on our afternoon walk Over the Christmas holidays I have been working with my brother-in-law to update his business website. It had been somewhat neglected over the past couple of years. Now we have completely redesigned the look (while keeping the corporate image, especially the characteristic “teal” colour that they use), and completely re-written every page. We’ve . . . → Read More: Richard’s “new” site
Merry Christmas We seem to have had endless snow here in Schmitten – we were out again this morning clearing the fall from last night.

Bees and butterflies in the garden Today has been a lovely day – not too hot at 22°C and the insects have been enjoying the sun as much as we have. We went to the Nacht der Museen (Museum Night) in Frankfurt yesterday. This annual event is always well visited, and is a good way to see inside the 47 participating locations in Frankfurt.

As well as being able to visit the regular exhibitions in the museums, the organisers also lay on special events for children and a wide range of musical performances for the adults. You can get an idea of what was on offer here (zipped PDF file, 3.3 MB). It’s impossible to visit everything in the time (19:00 hrs to 02:00 hrs), but we enjoyed visiting the Museum für Angewandte Kunst, the Museum der Weltkulturen and the Museum für Kommunikation. Recently Ruth asked me to set up a new website for her and some other textile artists who she has met. So I set up Use Your Eyes for them. Ruth was quite taken with the design, and decided she wanted her own blog Sew2Speak changing to use a similar skin, which is what . . . → Read More: Ruth’s new websites
View from our lounge this morning And the same view from upstairs It has been snowing since last Wednesday. And we and the neighbours are starting to run out of places to put the snow we’ve cleared. Since I took these pictures, it has continued to snow, and snow is forecast . . . → Read More: Running out of space for the snow I’ve mentioned before, that we both use mind maps – they are a great way of sorting out ideas for a presentation or sorting out what work needs to be done in a project, before you get as far as producing a project plan.
