Twitter Screensaver

I did something very simple with Twitter that I quite like.
I took the RSS feed from my ‘friends’ page. Then fed it into the Mac RSS screensaver (which is installed as standard on a Mac). Now whenever my screensaver activates I get a rundown of what my friends are doing. I guess if you have [...]

Chemical Brothers ‘Shop’ in London

Not sure quite how I feel about this. I like it. But I’m not sure it’s a very good use of money. I’m trying to make it a better use of their money by blogging about it.

The Chemical Brothers have taken over a disused shopfront to promote the launch of their new album ‘We Are [...]
