So I had a go and made a new copy at http://mostinteresting2.wordpress.com WordPress.com has an importer for posterous (look under Tools in your WP.com dashboard).  I chose to test it with mostinteresting since each post should follow a fairly standard structure and it should be straightforward to see where things don’t show up the way…

I really liked posterous.com  It was a great way to create collaborative blogs and an easy way to get people contributing to a blog who didn’t like the idea that they were “blogging” but didn’t mind sending an e-mail or two. I used it particularly pleasingly for a couple of applications: Most Interesting, which allows…

While walking through Leeds city centre yesterday, something kept popping into my head.  It was a question: "Is this what we want? is this really what people want our country, our cities our urban life to be like?"  And even if it is, how would we know?  And if it isn't then what can I…

I can't remember whether I've mentioned it here, but I've just started working with Dan Thompson and Sophie Collard on a project that initially was called #futurecleanup – here they are talking about it.

I'm trying to write about this, but I keep seeing films that I haven't watched yet and am getting lost in the joy and excitement of it all. I just saw this and nearly wet myself… [vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/41362455 w=400&h=300] There was a launch event at the BFI Southbank last night and we got to see…
