Just Another Social Profile Really

So, we finally get to the 2nd installment in the (very occasional) t-shirt diaries. In the first installment I got a mate to let me take a photo of his t-shirt, as I was too nervous to pluck up the courage to ask a stranger. For the 2nd I very bravely… took a photo of […]

A friend just emailed me and asked me whether I’d seen the new trailer for Watchmen, the much anticipated move version of arguably the greatest graphic novel ever. I hadn’t, but I have now. And I just can’t decide whether the film is going to be amazing, or awful - I’m pretty sure that it […]

I’ve just got back from a week away, so apologies if this is a bit after the fact, but Victor Keegan over at The Guardian noted that Danny had been looking into whether or not Google is favouring pages from its new Knol service (i.e. its attempt to kill Wikipedia and make some money in […]

Yeah, I know, it’s been around since December of last year, but I’m nearly 33, do you expect me to be with it or something?

As the song says:
Won’t you blog about this song?
OK.

Oh dear. Plurk is copying Twitter in ways it probably wouldn’t really want to. Updates taking longer than expected? Why does that seem familiar?
I wasn’t around Twitter in its earliest days but I’m pretty sure that scalability wasn’t a problem when it was as young as Plurk is now: maybe Plurk’s just growing faste than […]

Whilst waiting for Twitter to come back online this morning, I ended up flicking through their official blog. As well as the news about their acquisition of Summize, now Twitter Search, was a note about the fact that they had moved into new offices.
Now is it just me or do these photos all feel a […]

The Guardian had an interesting article about the video for the new Radiohead single House of Cards.
Radiohead has employed a scanning system, called Geometric Informatics, that produces structured light to capture three-dimensional images in close-up. Then, for some atmospheric location shots, an advanced Velodyne Lidar system, which uses multiple lasers to capture large environments, has […]

This last weekend saw me at the Rock Werchter Festival (the official site seems to be bust) just outside Brussels, for my best mate’s stag do. We were only there for the Saturday and the headliners were Radiohead. They’re a band I’ve sort of drifted away from recently as they explored the furthest reaches of […]

Jeff Jarvis, the well-known professor of journalism & blogger whose opinions I normally totally respect, wrote a post the other day suggesting that the end of SEO is imminent:
Is there a future for SEO? In a sense, Google’s search results were the last one-size-fits-all mass product around (since most other mass media are shrinking): the […]

 I was browsing around earlier and decided to check out a few PPC ads to see how the competition for one of our clients are handling things. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on a Skype ad, showing #1 for the phrase free international calls, and was taken to this page (image below in case […]
