A long overdue catch up!
It's been quiet here on the blog. The reason being that we have been rushed off our feet since the launch of our latest maps.
That's good news, right? Well, yes, but we do feel we have neglected our little journal here.
OK, today is about some cool stuff we came across with a little bit of mentions about our maps too.
We are great fans of the guys at Escape the City. Jonny Miller, tribe leader @Escthecity and all round great guy, wrote this 100 list to commemorate that he was born just over 10,000 days ago. A GREAT 17 minutes read.

We love Thoughtful, digital magazine, studio and community bringing thoughtful, creative people together to change the world. Created by Daianna Karaian, each quarter they bring together a group of contributors with a fresh perspective on a thought-provoking topic.
The Fix issue, winter 2017 makes for a great read. Thank you Daianna for featuring our What's Bugging You? map in the Wishlist: a curated set of items for getting your fix on.
They are working on their next issue: STREET. Daianna is looking for a talented team of writers, photographers, designers, illustrators and other creators to show what thoughtful lifestyle, design and culture looks like out on the street. If you or someone you know would like to be featured, take a look at how they work with contributors and get in touch, or subscribe to their newsletter.
And finally, thank you to Emine Rushton for featuring our Let's negotiate map in the #360me section of the December 2016 issue of Psychologies.
