Don't miss the Christmas Post-It®
Posted by Lee Whitelock on November 18, 2009
You would expect that being a digital company we would have little or no use for paper at all, especially when Instant messaging, e-mail or virtual paper (PDF) is in unlimited abundance. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Post-It® notes or ‘Stickies’ as they are more affectionately known, are powerful tool here at Kyan. This simple and versatile piece of sticky-backed paper is a useful tool for organising and visualising information quickly and effectively.
So, with Christmas creeping up, we had to think about our company Christmas card to send out to our clients and friends. Taking inspiration from this invaluable, 3 inch square and other works of Post-it® art (available to view on colourlovers.com) we created our very own pixelated, colourful Christmas tree on our new office walls. We all agree it looks very striking and it has also decorated our office in time for Christmas.

The Flip Mino
Posted by Paul Sturgess on April 07, 2009
Time for another random gadget review, the flip mino, it’s a tiny video camera and that’s it and that’s the beauty of it.
It fires up in seconds, you press the big red button to start recording and press it again to stop. So simple, so good. It’s light and will easily fit in your pocket.
You can’t replace the storage, it’s built in. You can’t adjust any recording settings like white-balance, contrast etc. You can only connect & charge via usb – but that means no external cables are required.
There are plenty of reviews out there from people who point to their digital cameras and mobile phones that already have video recording functionality. But they’re missing the point, try giving your phone or point & shoot to your tech illiterate friend and see if they can record video with it…
Kyan has recently invested in the brand new HD version so expect a Vimeo (or another video site) channel to spark into life in the near future featuring our shenanigans.
This is the epitome of a feature-less product that does one thing and it does it really well.
