We have been busy making sure 2009 has some exciting work on the horizon and the effort has been worthwhile but has caused a lack of regular posts – for this we are sorry but just imagine how exciting posts will be in 2009!! In the meantime a little catch up
here.

The Global Corporate Challenge (GCC), is the world’s largest corporate health initiative, it’s aim is to promote activity within corporations around the globe.
For the 125-day event, employees wear pedometers and measure their daily step count. They then enter those steps into an event-specific website to embark on a virtual journey around the world. Used daily by more than 50,000 participants across three continents,
F/F were asked by
Flash Group to develop the online direction for the 2008 version of the site which incorporated an integrated Flash and Javascript framework.
We’re very pleased to announce that Adobe have chosen the site as today’s ‘
Site Of The Day‘.
A big well done to everyone involved.

3) Parcels in the post – always nice to open a parcel first thing in the morning, on this occasion it was some lovely new
Patagonia gear.
4) Magic Markers – last week we had new Sharpies, this week new Magic Markers.
