Personal fabrication

May 23, 2011 No Comments by

Yet again, technology produces something totally amazing, but I’m still completely lost as to what to do with it. I want to play, but I don’t know where to start. Personal fabrication as a concept is the idea that normal people (like you and me?) can use business manufacturing processes and technologies to make stuff [...]

Songsterr automated guitar tabs

Aug 27, 2010 No Comments by

Just had one of those moments where the thing that I’ve been looking for or was surprised that I hadn’t seen online suddenly appeared. I’ve been learning the guitar for about 8 months now and I’ve got to the point where I’ve started to look for guitar tabs online. It’s almost like going back in [...]

Foursquare and Ten Friends to the pub…

Jul 27, 2010 No Comments by

Ok, so the internet is full of fads. Maybe Foursquare is one, maybe it isn’t. Do I know the answer? No, do I care, not particularly. Mostly because I’m just enjoying this one. Not only is Foursquare fun but it’s the side of social networking that seems to make sense. You ‘check-in’ to venues in [...]

It’s crazy.Any variation on typing in www.google.com actually re-directs me to the www.google.co.uk website.

WORDPRESS IS MORE THAN A BLOGGING SERVICE

Jun 15, 2010 No Comments

Ok, so if you know me well then you know that although I have my moments of genius I also have my ‘slow’ moments. To be honest, I think my lack of realisation that blogging sites had become web site building services is one of those. Perhaps it’s because of their slow, insipid creep towards [...]

ONLINE BACKUP SERVICE

Jun 10, 2010 No Comments
