I recently wrote about my bike and how I’ve switched to cycling to work on a daily basis. I found this product in Shortlist magazine the other day and thought it was a fantastic idea so should share it. I’ll be picking up a Shirt Shuttle very shortly.
I used to roll my shirts and kind of get away with it. This product however will ensure you get to work with a perfect shirt!
You can buy the product here for £30. For more information on the product visit shirtshuttle.com

Walking through the work car park in the morning is never boring. There are loads of beautiful cars that are being tested by What Car?, Autocar or Pistonheads.com. Sometimes I even manage to blag a ride to work in one.
Words can’t explain how much I wanted this car after bring driven to work in it.

This post has been sitting in my draft folder for the last 3 months so about time I got round to finishing it!
Late last year I signed up to the fantastic Ride2Work scheme that my company offered provided through Evans Cycles. I of course took the full £1,000 allowance and got myself a Cannondale Bad Boy hybrid bike. My daily commute is 8ish miles each way so it was great to finally be able to ditch the car and travel to work on a bike.
I’ve had the bike now for a good 6 months, although I used it a fair bit during the winter it’s now only getting a proper run. Along with the bike, I got all the usual kit and can already see myself spending a bit of money on this and it becoming a hobby. I’ve already got a nice wish list of cycling clothes from Wiggle to order shortly.
After 6 months of use I’m very highly impressed. It’s very light, quick and sturdy. Oh and of course the bike looks amazing. The Schwalbe Kojak tyres not only look the part but are strong enough to handle city roads plus the odd bit of grass/dirt. I’m nowhere near the level of even thinking about getting a racing bike but if you are after a bike that will eat up the miles on the daily commute then make sure you get yourself a hybrid, it makes such a difference over a mountain bike.

I stumbled upon this post in my draft folder, it should have been published months ago but it’s still highly relevant.
I’m finding myself being drawn towards enterprise search and information architecture increasing more these days as I work on new product developments. I’ve even gone so far as joining the Enterprise Search London group on MeetUp.com.
If you know your enterprise search providers then you’ll have heard of Endeca. They recently launched a section of their website detailing the most common implementation features of the software along with best practice implementation guidelines. Well worth checking out if you are into IA or on-site search by clicking here.
Around the same time Yahoo released a new design pattern library. It includes best practice guidelines on more than just search so is well worth also looking at.
