Splendid have been asked to sit on the Connected Device Council by our good friend John Holdstock at Microsoft. The group is a select group of brands and companies (we are the only user experience company in the mix) that will help shape the future of all thing embedded, that's everything that isn't a desktop or laptop. So everything from cars to toasters.

The group includes Vodafone, easyJet, Road Angel and hosts Mclaren (the people who make those nice fast cars).

It was a great day, some good discussions (such as when Silverlight will be available for embedded devices) and the day ended on a high with a tour of the Mclaren F1 and SLR factory...

Up the Reds

With England out of the Euros '08 the football fraternity looked elsewhere for its fix. Boasting more internationals in their squad than Arsenal, the splendid football team took to the hallowed turf of hangar lane to partake in the annual 5 a side Nexus cup.


Unfortunately due to a busy schedule our lead in to the tournament was not as smooth as hoped. With minimal training, fitness and knowledge of the game, team splendid took to the pitch with the hope that shear will and enthusiasm would help us triumph over stiff opposition such as MTV, Publitronic, Nickelodeon, Red Bee, MDM and Aquirva.


Needless to say that at the end of the day the results did not go our way, but fun was had by all and in usual splendid tradition we did our best work at the bar post match.
