No, I have no practical use for one of these. Yes, renting it instead of buying outright is kind of annoying. Yes, I desperately want one. With a jetpack, if at all possible.

Well, it’s nice to see that the press has noticed. Good of of them to credit Reuters with the big push, as if there haven’t been any number of people shouting about this for *years* at small operations like Yahoo and the BBC.

Or “Idigenous Content” as we call it round these parts, of course. He’s not *wrong*, but the power of IC for big media is in being seen to curate it, so that the public only find the good stuff. I would love to see Paxman’s UGC picks…

Everyone and their dog has already linked to it, but that’s because it’s well worth a read.

Using Virgin as your ISP? I’d strongly urge you to end your account, and find an ISP that believes in your right to use the internet as you, rather than they, see fit. If they get away with this, then other ISPs will too, and then we’re all fucked.

I want to structure some of my time in evenings and at weekends a bit better, and this might help.

I feel like I know almost no-one round where I live, but still: I shop regularly at my local butcher. A couple of my local cafe’s recognise me when I come in. I like that, and I’d hate to live in the world described here.

Handy set of tools for producing grad based designs. I particularly like the fact that there’s both an OmniGraffle template and an HTML demo. This is going to make going from wireframe to mockup about 70 times faster.

Nice, minimalist photoblog theme. Might use it as a start point for sprucing up my portfolio site, to bring it more into line with the design of my other sites.

I am trying to break some of my photography habits. So, here’s my new lo-fi photography site. No commentary, no interaction, no attempt to produce anything other than lo-fi snaps of things I point a crappy little iphone camera at.

Sad, I know, but I’m almost tempted. Dealbreakers: crappy resolution, no wireless connectivity. When the resolution improves, and I can auto-email the pics, I’ll get a pair. When they do that, they’ll be perfect for a project I’ve been developing.

I’m on a productivity upswing (I have made my peace with the fact that I have periods where I juggle about 47 projects at once, vs periods where all I do is watch the telly) at the moment, and this might help ensure it’s actaully sustainable.(tags: lifehacks productivity)

Chat about their forthcoming cookbooks, their approach to food, and what the future holds. I’m interested in their idea of 50 year cycles in cooking…

Willpower is, apparently a finite resource – exercising it in one matter depletes the amount you have available to apply to other things. Good news though: exercising it regularly leaves you with more to go around.

An interactive on-line music video/teaser. Music companies could benefit from doing more of this sort of thing – this one is, very, er, rathergood, but it’s a music video and it’s viral. The principle could easily be applied to less kitten-related stuff.
