Around 10 years ago I set up a company. It didn’t seem like a big deal. In fact, it was merely a tax entity for my freelance career. I had this idea that I could sell a customisable web site service where you could choose which options to “plug-in” – hence the name Plug-in Media. […]

We won a freaking BAFTA!
I’m still reeling from the shock of it to be honest. We’ve never won any industry awards so far, so for our first to be a BAFTA is pretty incredible. (For the non-Brits among you, I guess it’s our version of the Emmys) The ceremony was at the Hilton in Park Lane, and it was […]
Web Design TV from .net with… er… me!
Pretty embarrassing but what can you do? 🙂 Filmed at the official MAX hotel in downtown LA: The Westin Bonaventure, which is such a weird hotel but I really like it in a kitsch sort of way. I heard that the architect was a fan of the early 80s TV show Buck Rogers, which would […]
Big and Small nominated for BAFTA award
Title says it all really! Suffice it to say we’re all totally blown away here at Plug-in Media in our new offices in Brighton’s North Laine. We’re in the category for “Children’s Interactive“, the same category our friends (and neighbours) at LittleLoud won last year. We have stiff competition, but honestly, it’s honour enough to […]
Big and Small finalists in Adobe Max awards!
Did I mention it before? I think I mentioned it 🙂 I really do hate to ask, but if you like Big and Small, please take the time to vote for us in the Adobe Max awards.
Big and Small in .net magazine
Just in case you missed it, there’s a 3 page article in this month’s .net magazine all about how we made Big and Small. I’m so pleased that we’re starting to get some recognition for this site : we’ve just earned our very first FWA Site of the day award, and we’re also a finalist […]
You may have noticed that I’ve been a little quieter than usual over the past few months. And for that, I’m sorry. But there’s a very good reason for that! Me and the my very talented colleagues at Plug-in Media have been hugely busy working on the biggest and most ambitious Papervision3D project we’ve ever […]
The FOTB08 carnival leaves town
And it is with a mixture of sadness, exhaustion, and joy to have been host to such a great many Flash friends from all over the world. The conference was pretty damn amazing, and it was incredible to catch up with my great friends Mario, Ralph, Keith, Rob, Jeremy, Carlos, Chris and the many, MANY […]
Two FlashForward Award nominations
I’m absolutely delighted to announce that for the second year running we have (not one but) two projects as FlashForward Award finalists this year! Our first finalist is our work with MLB.com (that’s Major League Baseball for those born under a rock or outside the USA 🙂 ). We developed a Papervision3D component for their […]
What an amazing 2007!
Let’s face it, 2007 was pretty spectacular, in fact it was SO spectacular that it’s taken me most of January to write it all down… We flew straight into ’07 with a massive 9 level platform game, called Extreme Pamplona. It was so big, it took 15 people 2 months to make it, we even […]
