    If you’re like me then you absolutely dread Sunday afternoons when it’s time to do the weekly grocery shop. I don’t know what it is but my partner and I just loathe going to our local grocery store – be it Woolies or Coles. We hate it so much that we even tried buying our…

    In the Brio office recently, an interesting conversation led not only to some confusion but also to the concept of what happens when math and design cross paths. It was all sparked by the recent release of GoogleLab’s “Julia Map” project, a tool for exploring fractals using the Julia set numbers, a HTML 5 and…
