I’ve seen a lot of geeky t-shirts in my time. But this one is pretty much the king of the nerd-castle, awesome…
(As you might have spotted, I’m struggling a bit with blogging at the moment. A combination of lack of time plus a general feeling of de-motivation which I’m hoping will pass soon).
I really like this. A shelf disguised as a book. And it’s not silly money either.
Are chavs the new mods? It was a thought that entered my head in Brighton a couple of weeks ago.
Sure the scooters have changed. And in retrospect the mods’ fashion was way cooler. But the attitude and the lifestyle aren’t all that different… Disposable income that goes on fashion, partying and wheels. Enjoy a [...]
I was attempting to write something about Friday’s Microsoft Day that I went to. But I visited Live Local search to look something up, then realised I could see my own house from the air, from multiple different angles. And it’s, dare I say it, way slicker than Google maps in terms of visual quality. [...]
I agree with Russell when it comes to the value of experimentation and play. Asi also brought it up in relation to the video-fronted search engine I mentioned yesterday.
I’m all for play and doing new stuff. But there is a degree of responsibility that we should collectively exercise. The same kind of critical questioning that [...]
This is a long video clip. 18 mins in total. And it might bore you if you’re not a music geek. It’s all about how a 6 second drum loop from the B-Side of a single by The Winston Brothers, released in 1969, has become a cornerstone of modern music.
Even if you’re not a muso [...]
From Fast Company: Steve Jobs on the iPod .Vs Zune . Steve Jobs blasts the ability to ’send’ music to other people via Microsoft’s new Zune player (apparantly it takes a long time and they can only play the DRM enabled track 3 times):
You’re much better off to take one of your earbuds out and [...]
Saw this recruitment ad on the MediaTemple site. It made me chuckle. In case you’re interested (and are a ‘picked last in gym’ kind of nerd it links here.
Incidentally, if you run your own website and are looking for hosting that can manage lots of users and big spikes in traffic, they’ve got an interesting [...]
Checking my junk email folder this morning, to make sure nothing important had been misplaced, I noticed just how great the names of these junk mailers are. (I know, I know, they make up the names so that the junk mail filters don’t spot them as being spammers, but someone’s having a great time inventing [...]
Could this be the most pointless thing ever? Probably not. But it’s a massive folly of some description.
Someone has spent a whole heap of money creating a video based ‘human face’ to a search engine. Type in your search and Ms Dewey makes pointless and irrelevant quips. Then you get a badly presented list of [...]
