Last.fm Goes Fulltracktastic
Big news. Last.fm gets full track listening capabilities. As of today, you can play full-length tracks and entire albums for free on the Last.fm website. Something we’ve wanted for years—for people who visit Last.fm to be able to play any…
Tutortainment or Entertorials
Connected to the entertaining demos post the other day. I love the way that these Photoshop Tutorials manage to tell a story of marital breakdown and infidelity through a bunch of nerdy design-tip-screencasts. I was laughing out loud at…
What The World Needs Now
Is thing-a-day 2! Get over the winter blues and commit to creating something every day in February. I’m going to do it. It’s just what I need to force me into some mindless creativity for a month. Inspired by a an idea by Ze Frank, so how…
Q: Is It Possible For A Widget To Take The Mickey?
A: Yes.
For the Twitter Haters
If I didn’t have Twitter I wouldn’t have had these nuggets delivered to me. Two of the most important things I’ve read in some time… You can’t say that Twitter’s useless now. This proves it. I hope Russell and Hugh don’t mind me posting…
Mac Software Bundle
If you’re a Mac-head it’d have been hard not to have noticed MacHeist over the last couple of weeks. Basically it’s a bunch of small software makers who’ve joined together to bundle up their software at a too-good-to-miss price point. You…
The Scientist – The Bee
Was doing a bit of tidying in the loft today and came across this bit of vinyl. Even 17 years after its release it’s still got skills… If I had a filing system for my records I’d struggle knowing where to put it.
Photojojo – A Smart Thank You
If you’ve not come across photojojo and you use a digital camera a big chunk of your life is missing. They deliver some of my favourite online content. So I did an odd thing this morning, I switched from using their RSS feed to getting…
All Loading Devices are The Devil’s Work
OK, I can bitch about circular loading devices. But I swear now that bars are no bloody better. I’m trying to archive off a whole chunk of my iTunes library that I don’t like so much. And it’s taking hours and hours to do it. But what’s…
The Webbys – A Trip Back In Time
Nik’s written a piece on why he likes the Webbys over here. I like the Webbys too. For me they’re the awards that get closest to recognising the important things online (in the English speaking parts of the interwebs anyway). It tends to…
The Curse of Circular Loading
I know these kind of circular ‘loading’ devices are very trendy. But they should only be used when the delay is likely to be a couple of seconds maximum. They are absolutely shit at everything else. I’ve just been faced with a screen which…
Geometry Wars – Particle Man
This ad for Geometry Wars I liked. It’s almost another kind of entertaining demo, sort of: It makes me smile and chuckle. They’ve also got some bonkers online advertising which I can’t actually find right now. And the website is also…
