Hamburg Design Review
What is this? Since the beginning I have been asked this question countless times. From family members peering over my shoulder to look at my earliest notebook scribblings, to investors, wary of sinking their cash into a project that is - at least in appearance - so ambiguous. But The Hamburg Design Review is not ambiguous. We have a direction. I come from a family of reviewers and writers. People who, like those who chase after storms, have spent their lives leaping into 4x4 vehicles and driving towards the horizon of the mind. Chasers of ideals and ideas, those who seek to fuse styles and bridge conceptual gaps. Ultimately, to find forms of public expression that are more innovative, and more inviting.The HDR is a forum for such expression, be it serious, or silly, or written, or visual, perhaps aural. Who knows and who could even say? Perhaps, if we are lucky, we will have all of these given to us, in one heady shot of the contemporary.So what is this? Now I ask you.I ask you to pick up the salt shaker and that little wedge of lime.Let us try this shot together.The Editor x.

Hamburg Design Review
Once again, it's been a while. But gone are the days when one guy would stay home looking after the podcast while the other could go to work and support all three on a factory wage. Whatever. In this edition we ask: is there anything the IT team can't do? Can a cat have an accent? How does facial recognition actually work? And finally, what happens when an intrepid reporter gets bored on a family holiday? Thems the contents. This is the show. The big show. The Hamburg Design Review SketchPod 4 (four). Running order: 00:32 (Facial Recognition), 06:17 (Irish Cat), 10:08 (Data Sync), 21:14 (Belpress), 25:32 (Ice Cream Crisis).
