Steve delivered another keynote. Yes, this time there was ‘one more thing’ and ‘one last thing’. One more thing was full movies via the iTunes store (not for us folks in Europe though, yet… *sulk*).

Ashleigh spotted this tremendous video on YouTube. It’s a mash of footage from Transformers the Movie and the Return of Optimus Prime series with ‘edited’ audio.

Many thanks to everyone who has posted to the logo competition (especially to those people who aren’t on my blogroll!)
Dan, I noticed that your design isn’t on the bix.com site.

For a good little while now I’ve been involved in activities around intranets, portals and information management.
