After mulling over Steal this Film as mentioned previously I’m still not any surer about where I stand. There’s one frame from the movie that keeps flashing back into my mind though: Of course it’s not the same as digitisation and…
MyHeritage – Face Recognition
For quite a while now MyHeritage have been offering a ‘see who your celeb lookalikes are’ applicaiton online. I’d always ignored it (too much effort finding a photo and stuff, plus you have to register) until someone at work sent it round…
Saturday Newspaper Graphics (2 of 2)
Newspaper graphic 2 of the weekend. This isn’t an infographic, it’s a visual gag from the back page of The Sun (or it could have been the Mirror). A great visual gag. I’m not sure if it’s been done before (I don’t follow football enough to…
Saturday Newspaper Graphics (1 of 2)
2 very different newspaper graphics caught my eye at the weekend when I was reading the papers in the pub. Firstly this infographic from the Guardian, it shows which European countries people Polish people are emigrating to. I looked at it…
Disintermediating Citizen-Media Podcasts
It had to happen really. Web 1.0 had it’s own bullshit generator, now Web 2.0 gets one too: Emptybottle.org – The Web 2.0 Bullshit Generator I also find some perverse pleasure in the web 2.0 buzzphrase generator.

Great list of the Top 10 Best Presentations Ever, a pretty tough list to compile and they’ve done a nice job. There’s a few in here that I’ve seen before, and a few that I haven’t. For Apple geeks of particular note is Steve Jobs launch of…
Stunned by Fuerzabruta
Last night I saw the best thing ever: FUERZABRUTA. It’s hard to describe what it is. Part acrobatics, part dance, part light and sound show. I’m not sure that it’s possible to describe it properly. It’s just a massive sensory overload…
Geotagging in Flickr
Very cool new feature in Flickr, you can geotag your photos using Organizr. Simply drag your photos onto the Map (provided by Yahoo! Maps) and they immediately get a location attached to them. It’s really really simple and works…
Steal this film
Following on from the Darknet post the other day, here’s some more on piracy in Sweden (and beyond). This 30 minute film gives a view of the P2P landscape (and especially the ‘bust’ on PirateBay – a major bittorrent site). Visit the Steal…
Something Wonderful
On YouTube. It’s true. A thing of beauty. Simple, elegant, straightforward beauty… Via noodlepie.
Mod Your Mob for Orange
Here’s a little something that we’ve been working on for Orange. Called Mod Your Mob it’s all about creating freakish versions of mobile phones. I’ve not had much to do with it, and I’m not quite sure if it’s a pisstake or not. I’m not…
A Conversation on Participation
“Why don’t we let people get involved. Give them a way to upload their short movies / photographs / demo-tracks / homages to our product / ideas / knitting patterns / kazoo melodies / etc. They can win prizes.” “Would you do it?” “What do…
