Wheely bin architecture

I’ve been meaning to write more here. But I have been too damn busy. Exciting projects, a beautiful baby girl, getting the house ready for winter and today: a rotating clothes line!
But to start a bit earlier on…
GetReal kicked off on .. and we were instantly caught in a whirlwind of media attention. We seemed to have judged the collective mood well that the mainstream was developing an interest in plastic bags and our first campaign nailed the issue.
We quickly decided to amp up the campaign a bit and decided we needed a stronger analogue team to compliment the digital one. My part of the project was to provide Angus with a prop that gave him some street presence as he signed people up.
This version has an internal desk, hanging shelf inside and a display board that props the lid open. I wanted to lie it down and have it work as an emergency activist sleeping shelter but Angus wasn’t that keen :-)
I also sorted out a laptop charging system using some gel cells from Wastebusters but in practice having people squint at a laptop in the street doesn’t work. Bring on ePaper..
New job !!

I started my new job at Wanaka Wastebusters world HQ yesterday, two days a week – Tuesday and Wednesdays. I’m not sure of my title yet but I am gunning for Chief Disruptor. I am perfectly qualified for the post anyway.
And what will this entail? Well it is a mix of moving the office processes forward into the 2000′s based on what worked at Cactus and making some of the more esoteric projects reality using what I have learned with Cooreea. Very exciting.
I feel extremely lucky to be in this position and I am pretty sure it is going to work out..very well.
