Radiohead’s latest video for their single House of Cards is, in true Radiohead fashion, a little bit ground-breaking. The video was recorded without light and without cameras. Instead they employed a couple of scanning technologies that mapped the scenes in 3D. They could then use the raw data to create the video using various rendering options and show the scenes from any angle they desired. Read the rest of this entry »

I recently purchased a pair of Nike+ running shoes. I had been eager to track my running data (distance, duration, calories) for some time, and after a couple of runs, I have been very impressed with the data, presentation, and sharing capability provided by Nike. Read the rest of this entry »

Which content management system (CMS) should I install? This is a question which doesn’t have a simple answer.

Only recently did I joined the creative commons iPhone users and ever since I have enjoyed the rich discussions and ideas of useful software which users can benefit from.

I’ve been a fan of Twitter for some time now. Something about summarising little moments in my life and logging them just seems to spin my wheels. There are a few nice unique twitterers out there.

I recently attended a tribute to Karen Spärck Jones at The Royal Society of Medicine hosted by the British Computer Society. It was breath taking to listen to Dr Ann Copestake a Reader in Computational Linguistics in the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Read the rest of this entry »

A friend of mine recently invited me to join a new online, networking, review community called Qype. I must confess, my first reaction was to frown suspiciously.

Visited the Grand Designs show at Excel in Docklands at the weekend and amongst all the haberdashery and eco-challenges were some pretty cool pieces of innovation. The most notable was the pioneering Vertebrae from industrial designer, Paul Hernon. Read the rest of this entry »
