www.getdesign.in - My periodic blog exploring the world of business, experience design and interaction, with a smattering of gadgetry and social media. A world where business, people and technology meet.

Let's Fix Things: For over two decades I've been consulting in Communications Design: Everything from business strategy and processes, through to technology, interaction and customer experience. The thoughts here are my own, not necessarily that of my employer.

I have a penchant for spotting patterns and fixing broken user and customer experiences. Even my Bumblebee project hasn't escaped - I've been using Six Sigma techniques to study and predict their behaviour patterns. ☺

Welsh English speech goes online

July 25, 2008/ Nik Sargent

Hundreds of recordings of disappearing dialects of English spoken in Wales from the 1960s onwards are being made available for research.
Swansea University researchers taped the "folk-speech" of elderly villagers, and later urban youngsters, to compile the Survey of Anglo-Welsh Dialects.
Archive director Rob Penhallurick said: "In some parts of Wales, English has been spoken for nearly 1,000 years."
Around 500 recordings are available via the British Library's online catalogue. [click heading for more]
