Had a discussion about broadband, fibre (of the optics variety, not the food type) and the stances of each side of Government this morning. Nothing new or unusual for me you say? Except that I had this discussion with, of all people, the District Nurse who was on a visit. And she was the oneContinue reading “The times they are a …..”

change and the digital generation
In the light of what Nick and I talked about on this podcast I posted last night, this video presentation is a brilliant synopsis. A must look. From Park Paradigm, via JP Just wish I had a clearer view…persevere, it’s worth it. Edglings – some previous thoughts about life on the edge Dave

Just watching my friends twitter feeds makes me tired. Because I’m not watching them as a twitter user they don’t know. Be afraid. Dave PS: Does this mean I have no recognition or anything useful to say? PPS: Because I’m not a twitter user and one of my friends has a closed list, does thisContinue reading “un-twitter”

Now what I find interesting about the clip itself is it has an incredibly Second Life feel about it. Virtual buildings textured with the lyricsContinue reading “Bruce, YouTube and Second Life”

I’m wondering perhaps weContinue reading “Colour returns”
Daylight savings a ‘miniY2K’ – New York Times
The New York Times has comment on the Daylight saving headache. Calling it a ‘mini Y2K‘ problem. No REAL solutions that would help our balls up with the recent Commenwealth Games fiasco though.
Classic colour
Where’s all the colour gone Apple? Came across this interesting article in the Metroplolis Magazine (a design mag) focused on the use of colour in Apples computers.
