Great work! Especially useful for those coming Bristol to see the Banksy exhibit only to hit the massive queues!

There is a competition for charity to win tickets to a special evening viewing of the Banksy exhibit here: www.justgiving.com/bristolvsbanksy - I had intended to keep it to myself but as it's for charity my caring side got the better of me!

Barry Taylor from the University of Bristol has kindly pointed out that the event was organised as part of the University of Bristol Centenary Lecture series. The Festival of Ideas was merely involved in publicising the event. Apologies for the error. More information of the lectures at: www.bristol.ac.uk/.../lectures

Hi Jack.

Yes, Nintendo wii is a fantastic example. A culture of design innovation from a company that started over 100 years ago making ultra high quality playing cards! Have you read 'Game Over' about Nintendo? A terrific read, believe it or not!

Great blog Jonathan. Totally agree on the principle of simplicity, which sounds easy to achieve in principle but is actually quite difficult and daring. Another example is Nintendo Wii. They stripped the console back, reduced buttons on the controller and made something that any one can pick up and play. All of these brands that have achieved simplicity with the core product are also the world's most successful at this point in time.

Good news for Brizzle then. Does that mean there may be some 'trickle down' for us West Country cousins a little bit further North? Hope so, as I don't like drivin' me tractor on the M5.

Of course, Hewlett Packard clusters its offices around military/industrial centres. That was the reason they were in Silicon Valley in the first place, why they're in Bristol, Fort Collins, etc etc. The same crew-cut chaps who make submarines, satellites and missiles also turn out to be really good at making printers and servers. Clusters will always happen around talent: the problem is when cities become too expensive for the up and coming talent to live in. That's the problem with London and New York now. You have to be earning on day one, or be a rich kid, which means you're never going to be as completely committed as someone who earns their rent by their wits.
