A Blending of Talent: Microsoft, Aquent & the Blend 3 Experience

Last week was a very busy week for all at London Aquent, especially for our superstars, Sue Nunn, Anna Pierce and yours truly Digital Angel, as we and the team organised the very first Microsoft Blend 3 Training Conference for Designers and Developers in the UK. The idea was to help Microsoft promote their latest Version of the software and to roll out Windows 7 on Macs.

This was truly an international experience as we worked with our Partners and Trainers from the UK and Spain. We made it an all expenses paid training and networking session to show how Blend 3 can be used in the digital design world and how true partnerships can develop between the Developer and the Designer alike.

The course was set over 2.5 days, with breakout sessions. All in all, the course and the software was well received, and they loved the sandwiches. Partners said things like 'Great Environment', 'Great Kit' and 'Insightful'. They also wanted to develop more training on integrating the package into the Apple and design environment further.

So check out the Video and pictures to see a lot of happy Blend 3 users.

Digital Angel to the rescue..!

NMA.jpgHi All,

WOW, I am going to write blogs, and it took me (big intake of breath) 5 times to pass my English "O' level ! so please forgive the future grammar.

My name is Steve or Stevie or "Digital Angel" as I have being called, not to be confused with the venture capital people, my nickname comes from being a nice guy, oh and being in the business since 1998 :) 

I was told by my fabulous talent, that Blogs have being around since 2006, from the computer game "Quake", other theorists say Dave Winner, so embracing the founders and the technologies I thought to myself ! Who else knows this stuff ? 

I also realised that Blogging is good for the soul, as I start writing and sharing some of my more amusing "Digital Stories" I thought that this will help my networking, from my casual coffees in Soho, to the Big Media Events, like giving awards at the NMA, (which included some unruly behaviour from Simon Amstel (see pic), back two years ago, in front of 2000 people but that's another story) !

I am hoping that from my blogs, I will be here to take some of the mystery out of the digitalonlineinternetcreativeinteractivemediabroadcaststar that I have being passionate about since 1998, I confess that I am no expert on everything, but I do like to think that I know a thing or two, especially when its recognising talent in this amazing sector, that's still very much in its teenage years.

So "Digital Angel" is what I am aiming to be, someone who can see "Cloud" and say "utility computing" someone can say UX "yep that's from manufacturing", IRISE, yep that's not to do with making bread, well not the edible kind anyway! And many more. So I have promised to come on weekly and see what I can do for the future of digital kind...

So I am looking forward to sharing with you more, I will use my magic wand to whisk in up-to-date ideas, I will use my wings to whisk me around the world to check out the latest. My network goes all over the world, so I am hoping this is going to give you a really fascinating real look at our innovative sector. 

Must fly off now, as the Digital calling begins to draw me in... Watch out Digital World here comes Digital Angel, evangelising what's good out there, and be really constructive on what we learn :) 

Here's to all the talent out there, oh and watch out for the VLOGS

Blogging Off.. (flapping of wings and sparkles) Steve ;)
