Ice forming by the lake Tyrifjorden in the south-eastern part of Norway. Heavy snowshowers coming in from the southwest. Winter is settling in.

Early morning sunrays through the trees in our backyard (literally!). It reminded me of the arrival of some other life force.

Hello! We’ve been working on our challenge software for several months now and today we’re taking the wraps off. You can see an example of the challenge software here and you can see a summary of all challenges on RedBubble here. The thinking behind challenges is that they should be fun, a way for you to discover new work and a catalyst for action. The challenge software will be available to any group that would like it – just e-mail Jo and she’ll make it happen. We’ve also been working on RedBubble books behind the scenes – and today Paul is releasing the first RedBubble book. The book can be purchased here. The thinking behind this limited release is for us to test the quality (which we’re very happy with) and logistics before we hit the go button on books more generally. The timing on the site wide release of books is yet to be locked down – it really depends on how long other things take and how quickly I can hire some more people to help us build the website faster. On that front – Xavier and Peter are moving to San Francisco in two weeks. We’ll be looking to hire a few folks to keep us company … at the moment we’re looking to hire an Office Manager and a range of technical folks (Front End Developer and Back End Developer) so we can build faster. If you’re living in San Francisco and would like to know more drop Peter an e-mail and I can send you the job descriptions. Ciao, Peter

Hello! We have a jammed packed release today! Calendars: We’ve made calendars available for public sale. Just in time for calendar buying season. Anyone can make a calendar ... it’s easy! Challenges: We’ve released an update today that should speed up the voting in challenges (we removed the animation). Over the next few months we’ll be doing more tweaks to the challenges – as we incorporate your feedback (e.g. we’ll introduce the ability to see multiple entries whilst voting). Forums: We’re testing out a moderated forum idea this week. From time to time there are heated discussions in the forums … we don’t want to shut these discussions down as they can be some of the most interesting and informative discussions. But we do want them to remain civil and constructive. We want people to ‘play nice’. So we’re testing the idea that some forum threads can be flagged as ‘moderated’ – that is each comment is reviewed prior to being made public. The folks that will help with the reviewing are the staff of RB and a range of volunteers from the community. We’ll test this idea out for a few weeks – and see how it goes! Most Helpful Bubbler: Jo’s running search this week to find the Most Helpful Bubbler. There are so many people who really make this community the supportive and fun place it is. Let’s get together and recognize them for what they contribute. Nominate another member or host and they could win a special prize pack worth US$100 tailored especially for their tastes. Plus a special featured page in their honor. Plus an interview on their creative journey to be published in the Daily Wrap. Got someone is mind? Nominate them by email with 50-100 words describing why they are the most helpful bubbler. Then keep it a big juicy secret so that they get an extra special surprise when we announce the shortlisted nominees next week. RedBubble Challenges: “Compassion, Friendship and Courage” is in the final design stages and should be going on sale soon. Your work looks and reads beautifully. “The City” is now open for images and writing submissions. Get shuffling as you only have 13 days to submit work. And the publication after that will be ‘Nude” so start preparing suitable written and visual work. It will open for submissions in about 3-4 weeks. Here’s a few of my favourites … There’s also a few comings and goings this week. The RB tech team is metamorphosing as we establish an office in San Francisco. Not all the wonderful people who’ve worked on the website are staying with RB and this week I’d like to say a very fond farewell to Justin and Ben. Justin has been with RB since the very early days (2 years ago) ... and he was just the most wonderful person to work with! We wish him all the very best with his next venture. Ben has been with RB since the start of this year – and his dry and laconic sense of humour will sorely be missed. Thank you both! / On the flip side I’d like to welcome Jason to RB – who has joined RB as our sales and marketing guru. Jason has spent more than 10 years marketing and selling on the Internet – and his role with RB is to sell more of your wonderful work (and helping you to sell your work). Welcome Jason. Ciao for this week, - Peter

I saw these reflections and ran for the camera. Sydney Harbour like a mill pond before the many vessels start their morning trips and disturbing it’s surface. The other factor is that look to the water surface that landscape photographers might know it’s like a oily look to the water that lends itself to wonderful reflective surface. It took many shots of Sydney Harbour this morning, if, and you should have seen the sunrise that followed . WAIT ! yes i have photos of that as well.
