Sharing Audio On YouTube
It’s interesting that people are using YouTube as a way of sharing audio. Obviously it’s not designed as an audio sharing site, but it does the job pretty well. I’m guessing that people are using it this way because: 1. YouTube has a…
Cranes are Big
This is a very big crane on Ebor Street near my work.…
Police Bluecasting
I got bluetoothed yesterday at Euston Station. It was O2 sending me a TV ad to watch on my phone. A boring and mildly depressing use of technology. But it reminded me of this, much more ‘interesting’, use of bluetooth that I’d read about…
Nice Macmillan Cancer Support People
I’d already seen a poster for this and was going to write about it. I was going to write about it because I just thought it was a really nice idea, having a big coffee morning to raise money. Especially when it’s a charity whose purpose is…
Researchers Hip 2 Da Kidz
This from today’s ‘The London Paper’: Yup that’s about the size of it… And entries to the Tiddlywinks championships have been down this year, researchers blame YouTube.…
Cravendale Do a Very Very Good Thing
W+K London and Unit9 have made a really brilliant thing. It’s part multi-player interactive game/muckabout. Part UGC. Part video editor… http://www.milkmatters.co.uk It follows on from the really nice Cravendale ads that are on TV. You can…

I quite like beer and I can listen to rap for a bit. But these guys are obviously more passionate about the two than me. (From above a graffiti gallery/shop called RareKind in Brighton)…
My Stereo Thoughts On FaceBook
I’ve got lots of thoughts about FaceBook, some positive some negative. And I was trying to come up with a way to encapsulate it all. I sort of think I have, but there might be some holes in my analogy… For me, this is FaceBook: It’s like…
Brighton Chip Shop
Anthropologists could figure out a lot about Brighton just by looking at this chippy window. It’s all breakbeats (old skool rave, drum and bass, coldcut and breaks), with an odd rock thing in there too. And of course there’s a small dose…
Internet Now Working
Yeah, that’s what they say… I don’t think it’s strictly true though. I always liked with Tim Berners-Lee’s quote about the Internet always being “a little bit broken”. (Read more at The Cluetrain Manifesto – it’s in the bit about the…
Super Supermarkets
Normally I’m a bit hurried or hassled going around the supermarket, but on Saturday I decided to have a bit of a wander and look around the shelves to see what caught my eye. I even bought some of the things I thought were interesting…
