Daffy Duck says Today is Twitter Cartoon Day

Apparantly today is going to be Twitter Cartoon Day, with the rather splendidly simple idea of changing your avatar over to your favourite cartoon character. Would there be any doubt that I would go for the enternally optimistic, full of wacky ideas, Daffy Duck?

I find it interesting that Twitter is a place where the altering […]

Tune In To TPN Rock’s Friday Rock Show (Live) Tomorrow

Last week, at rather short notice, I decided to stream my recording of TPN Rock - possible because I record the show as if it was live, playing and listening to all the music in real time. It’s not that difficult to do, just another cable from the recording MiniDisc (which takes the output from […]

In The Online Twitter/FriendFeed Widget War, Only The Users Win

Perfect - Twhirl (from Seesmic) has decided to add in FriendFeed features, and Alert Thingy (Howard/Baines)has integrated Twitter. Two applciations, looking to be the best, are going to deliver the best possible value… to the user. There’s nothing like an arms race to drive innovation. One of them adds a feature, the other follows, and […]

Microsoft Vista Rocking Video and Spitting Image’s RS232 Interface Lead

A number of sites picked it up, and probably called it correctly as Epic Fail (for example Matthew Ingram’s “Suuuuure it is, whatever makes you guys feel better. I suppose all of these incredible lame videos were in jokes too, right?”). You see, things are funny when the viewer knows they are meant to be […]

The Random Album Meme

So how about this for a cracking new album? What a shame it doesn’t exist. The latest meme random culture thingy, picked up from Jen’s Live Journal, just shows how hard the creative role on album consulting really is….

“…Is Doing The Thinking,” by Reston Virginia.

Use Wikipedia’s Random page selector; the article title is the name […]

Who is the mysterious Wubud?

Hmmm… http://twitter.com/wubud.
Move along, nothing to see here.

Compare and Contrast: Mowser and Mippin’s Variable Fortunes

Russ Beattie, head of Mowser, shut up shop on the venture this week, and placed the content re-aggreator into the mythical Deadpool.
But the traffic never showed up, and what did show up was of questionable quality at best. (Easily 80% of Mowser’s traffic has been related to porn). Maybe that means that the service sucked […]

Good News! PodCamp Boston Charging $50 A Head

News from Penn and Brogan that the upcoming Podcamp Boston (July 19-20) will be charging attendees $50 per head.
Do I agree with the decision? As someone who has organised big events, rationally I do. Attendance at any conference should be worth something, and $50 seems about right as a ‘token’ payment given that a good […]

Scottish Gamers Realtime Worlds Garners Second Round Funding

Many, many moons ago, in that strange period between stopping at University and moving into the small enterprise and technology space, I interviewed for a position at a development house at Dundee. I’ve no recollection who it was, nor if they are still around, and I never went for it as the public transport links […]
