Sarlacc Pit?
I saw this yesterday. I thought it looked like the Sarlacc Pit from the Star Wars film (if you’re not a SW geek you’ll need to go here to find out more). I’m not going to tell you what or where it’s from (it’s a bit yukky).…
The Saddest Photo Ever?
A poor discarded half eaten gingerbread man abandoned on the platform at Tulse Hill Station. Darned cake-cannibals, if they’re going to eat people at least they could have the manners to finish them off! I could have cried.…
Techno Faux-Pas
Whilst browsing in Micro Anvika today I was looking at the plethora of digital music players, ranging from the gorgeously designed to the truly horrible. When out of the corner of my eye I saw one particular piece of gadgetary. I thought…
dumb, crass, stupid, sexist lavazza
Interesting thoughts on complaining via buzz tracking. Russell doesn’t like the Lavazza posters with busty women on them (russell davies: dumb, crass, stupid, sexist lavazza). I think the image, as a photograph, is middle-shelf…
A List Apart: Articles: Web 3.0
I almost feel like I know the guy in the empty seat, or certainly someone cast from the same mold. Zeldman writes about the state of the web. A List Apart: Articles: Web 3.0. But ours is a medium in which, more often than not, big teams…
PowerPoint Kills
I’m not someone that believes PowerPoint is inherently evil, it’s not. It has some flaws (as does most software), but I reckon the thing that hurts it the most is the use of templates. The whole thing is set up with bullet points as the…
Directions on your iPod
Mash-up alert, it’s not perfect, but an interesting service combo nonetheless. Get directions onto your iPod (video, photo or nano). http://www.ipodiway.com/. Unfortunately is US and Canada only (for now).…
HassleMe
HassleMe – nice little online app that reminds you to do stuff. Not as fully featured as rememberthemilk.com or backpackit.com (my online reminder/to do service of choice right now). But, I do love the fact that it offers: If you add more…
PumpPod
Saw this poster collection on the streets of NY – Pumppod.com. Damn, there goes another one of my brilliant money making ideas, if only I was quicker and better at things.…
Digital Newspapers
Have I been living with my head in the sand? A bit, probably. But I spotted these today. Printouts of newspapers. The Times, in the morning. in New York. Looks like it’s just been squirted off a laser printer. No bulky shipping, no big…
Slow Down Week
Slow Down Week – damn, it’s this week! That’s the 15-21st Jan. I’m so slow that I’ve missed the first bit of it. And this is a very busy week for me, maybe I should use this as a way of enforcing slowdown extreme. Slow Down Week is all…
Sorry for the silence…
Sorry there’s been a few weeks of blank. I was away on holiday in Goa. I left my mobile behind. I didn’t check my email for a couple of weeks, in fact I didn’t touch a computer. It was nice. The man in the photo isn’t me. I don’t know who…
