Obama won because of hip-hop

I saw this interview live whilst I was eating my supper, other friends who also saw it said they cringed. I’ve got all of Dizzees’ albums and I know for a fact he’s not stupid, some of his lyrics are quick witted and quite clever. Part of me thinks was he playing up to the [...]

Night Photography

Smashing today produced a nice post with 60 examples of really good night time photography, a couple of weeks ago I did a little experiment of my own. My recent investment, I mean bankruptcy, sorry investment into a new DSLR body has got me experimenting again. Heres how I took that shot: - Wide angle [...]

Digging Bookmarks

Soo every other brand or website is dying to be on-trend in regards to “social media” and “web2”. This has sparked a number of webmasters and developers to add “add this” or “tell a friend” buttons to their blogs or websites.

Reminds me of the beast machines air traffic controllers use, madness! What’s even more insane is that the artists Simmons [...]

Morality

  I love reading Wired, every month the magazine is a good mix of technology, politics, science and other things from the town of Geeksville.  I never really log-on to their website purely because I read so many blogs and tech websites, picking up an actual paper pub and flicking through it over a coffee [...]

Open source and open source communities

Having never really grasped Photoshop properly and only making minor changes to photographs using Apple’s Aperture on my old Mac, I thought it was time for me to really start editing my photos properly. After all sometimes you only have a single take whether it’s film or digital. With this in mind I began to [...]
