Stef Lewandowski: “London Wedding Photographer” Emily Quinton

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 19:50:55 GMT

After the recent move to London it was time to update my partner Emily Quinton’s site. She’s now a “London Wedding Photographer” dontchaknow, so we decided to do an update to her site. And of course, once you’ve started doing a little job, there’s bound to be a few other things you want to fix, [...]

Stef Lewandowski: Link “Scientists”

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 06:45:23 GMT

I get frustrated when I see an interesting article on the web that starts with “Scientists have discovered…” and followed by a surprising new ‘fact’, backed up with a write-up, some quotes but no more information on what the research is, by whom, and crucially what they had to say in their own words about [...]

Stef Lewandowski: Yes and…

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:46:46 GMT

That great idea. You’ve had it going round and round in your head for weeks and it’s time you asked someone else’s opinion. So over a coffee you blurt it out in all its glory. Your friend sitting opposite you listens, nods a few times, and then opens their mouth: “Yes, but the problem with that [...]

Stef Lewandowski: London C-all-in-g

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:48:09 GMT

Some changes are afoot, and it’s high time I blogged about it. In short – I’m going to be in London doing something exciting. As part of the Clore programme each of us must undertake a three to four month ‘placement’ with an organisation of our choice. For instance my friend Ariane is working at CERN [...]

Stef Lewandowski: Does BCCDIY risk devaluing digital marketing?

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:35:28 GMT

Here’s an interesting criticism of BCCDIY – that it risks “devaluing the commercial aspects of digital marketing“. I’m not sure what that phrase means exactly, but I’m guessing it’s along the lines of ‘if you give your time away for free that devalues everyone else’. Here’s a comment I left on the article that’s not [...]

Here’s Councillor Paul Tilsley justifying the Birmingham.gov.uk website – “We did spend a bit of money on it”. Shame you can’t see the audience, but you can hear their sharp intake of breath.

Stef Lewandowski: Guardian: Digital technology for public services and communities could make bottom up more effective than top down

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:39:14 GMT

I just left this comment on an article on the Guardian site that seems to be very relevant to BCCDIY. (I tweeted Charles and he asked me to mention BCCDIY in the comments – here goes…) Following @pezholio, the DIY Birmingham City Council site (BCCDIY.com) came out a sense of frustration that quickly turned into a [...]

Stef Lewandowski: Why build a new site for Birmingham City Council?

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:33:12 GMT

Here’s my reasoning and some background on how/why I’ve been collaboratively putting together BCCDIY.com Birmingham City Council launched their new website recently, and many people commented that it wasn’t up to scratch in terms of value for money, especially given the £2.8m price tag and the rather long time it took to produce. I was originally quite [...]
