Flickr Enabled LCD Frame

ThinkGeek :: eStarling Wi-Fi Gmail / Flickr Enabled LCD Frame I’ve seen this kind of thing before and there’s something really nice about the thought of having a frame that you can subscribe to a Flickr RSS feed of your photographs, or your families photographs. Or just photographs of things you like.
But why do they [...]

Reflecting on Reflections

As Cal rightly says, reflections are going to end up as the blink tag of web 2.0 (or perhaps one of them). I started using Keynote instead of Powerpoint and was excited to find that it had a automatic reflection generator. I got bored of the novelty after 1 relflection-tastic presentation.
But now, thanks to this [...]

Thomas Pink iShirt

Who’d have thought it. Thomas Pink bring out a shirt which holds your iPod in a concealed pocket, has Oyster card cuffs, and routes cables neatly. I almost wished I had to wear a suit to work. For about a nano-second.

I like adverts with good words

This is one of a set of adverts for Tate Britain that I like a great deal. They use words well. I stopped to read them. I enjoyed the reading. I felt better for having read it at the end. The Judges at Cannes seemed to like them too. For more check out the always [...]

Scalextric World Record – Zootube

Here’s a little site I’ve been working on. I’ve been keeping it a bit quiet because it’s a bit laddy (well a lot laddy in places). But it is appropriate for the target audience. It is for Zoo Magazine after all!
The site documents the exploits of Steve and Richard who’ve get given £10,000 to do [...]

Holiday

Oh yes, I’m on holiday. Sorry forgot to say.
I’m in Thailand and I vowed I wouldn’t go near a computer for 2 weeks, but there was just one little tiny thing that I needed to use the internet for… That’s my resolution blown then.
Back soon x

So much good stuff…

I should be going to work right now. But I keep finding amazing things that I feel the urge to share…
Following on from ‘convert your website into a pattern’, here comes ‘what does your website sound like’. A site that turns your website into a MIDI file. Unfortunately the site seems to be over popular [...]

I Hate Viral(s)

I’ve grown to hate the term viral:

I hate the fact that it’s overused.
I hate the fact that it’s misused.
I hate the fact that ‘viral’ appears as a line on media plans.
I hate the fact that people now call them virals. With an (s) as if it’s a genre of film like westerns.

A MacBerry?

It’s an interesting, but at the same time perhaps terrifying, rumour.
Macworld UK – Rumour: Apple and RIM plan iPod wireless?
Legions of perma-connected white-earphoned zombies giving complete and undivided attention to a device with the coolness of an iPod and the addictive qualities of crystal meth. Damnit, I’ll never speak to anyone again!

Genuine Marketing Gimmicks – An Oxymoron?

Sorry few posts. Hectic week. Going holiday Friday. Lots to do…
I’ve started to use Radio 4 as my alarm clock. I didn’t think it would work. But people talking, gently, as they do on R4, is quite a nice way to wake up. You get kind of drawn out of sleep and into a conversation.
