NRU
This is one of first the first branded apps I have seen for the G1. First glimpses of StreetView on Android were pretty amazing, and now NRU by Lastminute.Com Labs makes me worried. Why? Because I’m a loyal iPhone user who, might just cave when the G2 makes it to our shores next year. It [...]

I should really start to import things from the motherland
I’m always impressed by the quality and quantity of open source products available. My latest discovery is Magento, an open source eCommerce platform. With open source content management systems and eCommerce platforms of this caliber freely available, business possibilities for budding netrepreneurs are endless.

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 [...]
My iPhone

BigStage – A virtual 3D you
Really liking BigStage, It lets you create a 3D version of yourself from photographs you upload. The virtual 3D avatar can then be then be dropped into anything from computer games to TV shows.
