My 2010

It was my first proper year back in R&D and in the Prototyping team and I'm now very definitely a producer and product manager. Certainly more people and less computers. I started writing weeknotes in February, I'm not sure how compelling reading they are but they're a good discipline. And we had a number of interesting projects - an RFID-enabled toy, a trending music site, a Twitter links site, a second screen experiment and lots of storytelling work including the Mythology Engine.

I replaced my old MacBook Air with a very similar looking new Macbook Air, but with less moving parts.

I moved all my note-taking into Notational Velocity (plus SimpleNote for the iPhone).

I didn't blog here very much but I did finally write up some notes on How to build prototypes.

I visited Copenhagen, Southern Sweden, Grenada and Lyon, managing that with two train trips and only one flight.

I took lots of photos with my new Panasonic GF1.

I read lots of books, some on my new Kindle, but listened to less music and sadly played almost none.

Apparently I ran 200-odd miles, including a couple of 10k races.

And I played rather too much Wesnoth on my iPhone on the train home.

about this blog

I'm Tristan Ferne and I'm the lead producer in the BBC R&D Prototyping team. I'm interested in lots of things, but here I write about the web, media, music and books. You can contact me at tristan.ferne at gmail[dot]com or I'm @tristanf on Twitter.

Why is it called cookin'/relaxin'? They're the titles of two of a series of Miles Davis albums which also describe some of my favourite things.
