The perfect biscuits for your office’s afternoon cup of tea!
Saw these today and it just made us smile – tea bag shaped biscuits perfect for dipping into that afternoon cuppa to fuel the rest of the working day.
Thinking about it, these would also work very well with a nice cup of hot chocolate. In fact – we might need to send someone out on a hot chocolate run this afternoon now!

Websites go on strike over proposed SOPA and Protect IP Acts
Many websites, including some very influential brands, went on strike this week in protest against the proposed SOPA and Protect IP (PIPA) acts. These acts plan to give new and unrivaled powers to the American government to take down and block any website they feel violates intellectual property or copyright laws more than 10 times in 6 months and jail the site’s owners for up to 5 years. A further contraversial aspect is the idea that this would give the US government and rights holders would have the right to seek court orders against any site accused of “enabling or facilitating” piracy, i.e those sharing links to or seeming to promote sites which they deem infringes the acts. Search engines will also be legally forced to remove listings of any of the sites deemed in infringement of the act. Is this the start of the ‘Great FireWall of America’? Read more

Here at Blink we have chosen to become a corporate sponsor for I CAN as our chosen charity for 2012. As of today we have adopted the word ‘Blink’ as part of I CAN’s Adopt A Word charity scheme. By adopting a word as a corporate sponsor we are able to help I CAN with their mission is to ensure no child who struggles to communicate is left out or left behind in school.
Why I CAN’s work is important:

"I love it when a plan comes together…" Why a project without surprises is a good thing
In everyday life surprises can be a lovely thing, in business however they usually mean that you and your client have different ideas about key areas of your current project. This often leads to you needing to charge more than your quote to finish the work, or working at a loss to deliver the completed project in a way which satisfies the client. The good news is you can easily help ensure the only surprises are when the client sends a ‘thank you’ box of chocolates to reward a job well done.
So, how do you achieve this? Simple; clear communication and always putting everything in writing. Read more
