Hello! We hope you guys like the changes to the blog. We have taken the blogging component out from the Laboratory Frontier site and turned it into the official Artefact blog! This is really exciting for us now that each page feels much more coherent. Please email us if you find any strange things going on, or errors popping up. I’ll be happy to fix them immediately. Otherwise, we feel this will be a smooth transition for everyone.

We’ve added a few extra goodies to make this a little more engaging. At the bottom of every page you can now submit stories to different social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Facebook and Twitter. Related posts are now populated at the end of every entry so you can find similar posts based on tags. Categories are now promoted into the byline as well to help you find other stories that may interest you. As we continue to update this blog, these things will become increasingly more useful over time. Finally, additional links to the left sidebar are included so we can stay connected with you all on a more casual basis. We’re always eager to hear and learn from you. So give us a holler!

Some may wonder what has happened to the Laboratory Frontier site? Well, it is currently being moved to its new home: http://labs.artefactgroup.com/

The mission remains the same: To continue exploring new experiences through hands on experience by blending the practices of rapid prototyping and ethnography. We feel it is a big part of our culture here at Artefact, and so we felt it was appropriate to give it its own home, with its own set of pages/blog. We will be cataloging more experiments that we are currently planning for, as well as keep a log of our trials and tribulations through the Frontier blog.

Stay tuned because things are going to get more exciting around here!
