Creative people aren’t always so keen on organising their lives and keeping up with the admin side of things – but a solution is at hand, in the form of Streamtime – 23rd December, 2008
Let’s talk some truth here. You have a business that sells ideas: a skill some clients treat like a commodity. You know it's not, but the way some of your competitors act, you start to understand why some people may think that. Why is it that others in the industry seem to discount their entire added value as if it were baked beans in the supermarket? It seems there are too many people willing to sacrifice today's fee, especially in these uncertain times, in the hope that the client will pay a more realistic rate tomorrow.

Death to the whiteboard. – 11th December, 2008
A normal-sized silicon chip (less than 8mm wide) stores more information than the ENIAC computer – which occupied a city block. The ENIAC computer of 1949 was 80 feet long and weighed 30 tons. A cheap PC off the shelf at some bargain computer warehouse bought today would be over 50,000 times faster and store more than a million times the information.
The increase in technology has been nothing short of epic. The first VCR (made in 1956) was the size of a piano, and took years to create and build. Today, there are more than a billion transistors manufactured ...

Under the Administration tab, for example, individual users can manage their own account settings and administrators can set up access privileges. You can establish fine granular control, such as allowing some users access to quotes or invoices ...
Streamtime to support Objectified Film by Gary Hustwit – 29th August, 2008
Streamtime is proud to support Gary Hustwit's (the Helvetica Documentary ) latest venture by joining "the Objectifiers".
Objectified is a feature-length independent documentary about industrial design. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. It’s about our relationship to mass-produced objects and, by extension, the people who design them.
Through vérité footage and in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of ...
