“Many of our clients come to us because they want someone to take care of their website, and we can do that, but we also listen carefully to what they need, not just what they think they want.   We dont just provide design, but also Content Managements Systems, e-commerce and sometimes integration with existing technology (so the website can update itself)”

igeek started in 2000, providing web hosting and development to the creative industry. Since then weve branched out into small and medium sized businesses of all kinds and our clients include everything from Potters, Publishers & photographers to ski schools and organic vegetable growers.

Apart from the web, igeeks other main line of business is creating Filemaker databases and weve just delivered a major project for one of Bristols most successful wildlife production companies.   igeeks team is just 4 people, but weve become successful by making complex technology easy to use, its a formula thats worked for 10 years – so were going to keep on doing it!

Venture Capitalist and blogger Fred Wilson gave a talk a few days ago at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View. The key point of his talk was about disruption — what companies are doing out there to change the technology space. Nothing earth-shatteringly new, but interesting insights from a smart guy.

This hour long talk includes his six words to live by on the Internet: Global, Social, Open, Mobile, Playful, Intelligent — and a bonus seventh one: Instantaneous. As an investor in Twitter, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Wilson included this last one.

For The New York Times Magazine’s annual “Year in Ideas” issue, published this Sunday, Paula Scher illustrated a chart of selected 2009 patents, classified on a spectrum from “When Real Life Isn’t Exciting Enough” to “There Must Be an Easier Way.” Note striped socks were not patented until this year; “At Last,” indeed. The chart was compiled by Alexandra Horowitz and Ammon Shea.

WiTricity is working on a wireless power solution that can send power over short distances, thereby reducing the need for wires and cables. The system uses resonant magnetic coupling – essentially a form of radio trasnmission – that can send enough power to charge cellphones or run a television. The actual technology is still a ways of – near field charging will probably appear before this does – but it’s nice to know someone is trying.

“The company showed how a transmitting unit, which could be placed in a wall, could power a television set several feet away. The chief executive of the company, Eric Giler, also showed how the system could wirelessly charge a G1 cellphone equipped with an antenna unit so small it could fit inside the phone case.” [LA Times Blog]
