Just found this amazing video called Immersion from the New York Times website. It is by photographer Robbie Cooper and shows just how focused young video-game players can be.

Today marks the first birthday of our blog, the BwLOG. In that time we’ve posted 105 articles, had over 80 comments (with many more spam ones) and played a lot of table football. The posts, as well as being about Betley Whitehorne and our work for clients, have covering everything from The Value of Design, and the Death of Comic Sans to Brilliantly Bright Beijing Bookshops and Wind Powered Complex Contraptions. In that time we’ve also relaunched our website and leapt up the Google rankings and launched Terrific Horrific where you can find the best Mince Pies. So happy birthday BwLOG!
