Archives for February 2006
On my significant expeditions... (February 28, 2006) Right then. Where to start? Um. Right. I left the UK on Saturday for San Francisco and I'm going to be travelling around mostly on work business for the next three to four weeks. So there are lots of new...
Links for 2006-03-01 (February 28, 2006) Bit of a weird one this: Shock Absorber has a Flash site where you can compare the bounciness of breasts bra-free, wearing bras or wearing their sports bras I'm not really into girls as such, but it is strangely...

Links for 2006-02-27 (February 27, 2006) Quantum computer works best switched off And I quote: "A non-running computer produces fewer errors," says Hosten. Nice. Really really nice. Also funny. Clooney hits out at 'traitor' tag I saw Good Night and Good Luck the other day....
Links for 2006-02-24 (February 24, 2006) My newish boss has just started a weblog We're going to have to loosen him up a little, but so far it's pretty interesting stuff and relevant stuff. Brad Pitt is a chameleon... This is actually a little creepy...
Links for 2006-02-23 (February 23, 2006) Apple announcing "fun new products" next Tuesday I'm always intrigued by Apple announcements obviously, but 'fun new products' really floats the boat. Could there really be more stuff for me to buy!? I'd practically run out. neologasm: a weblog...
Podcasts now available... (February 22, 2006) If you're interested, the audio versions of the Carson Workshops talks are now available over on carsonworkshops.com. I've listened to mine and found it an entirely embarrassing experience, but should you guys be interested in getting the full picture you...
Links for 2006-02-22 (February 22, 2006) Carson Workshops have a whole bunch of photos from the recent Future of Web Apps event up on their Flickr account And looking at them, I'm terrified by how exhausted and fried I look in every single photo of...
A visual representation of my Carson talk... (February 21, 2006) By way of an attempt to get slightly more on topic for a moment, I thought I should probably link through to this awesome mindmap representation of my Carson talk that Larsz put up on Flickr the day after...
An update from Nordrassil... (February 21, 2006) The weirdest thing about my weblog is that I rarely write about what I'm doing at work, and normally write about the stuff that's going on in the wider web and that I'm up to in my spare time. Except...
Links for 2006-02-21 (February 21, 2006) Fun with LED Throwies In which Jones buys Webb a DIY Throwies kit and we assemble them in a bar and then throw them at metal things, and they don't stick. Later Jones puts one in his mouth and...

Links for 2006-02-16 (February 16, 2006) Rejected Family Learning Channel Cartoon Absolutely stunningly funny set of cartoons allegedly sent in to the Family Learning Channel. Simon showed them to me and I basically fell off my chair laughing in sick glee... A fascinating article on...
Links for 2006-02-15 (February 15, 2006) Multi-Touch Interaction Research Interesting looking touch-based interface that reminds me a lot of the map display that people were showing off at last year's ETech... It's official! Google buys Measuremap! I've chatted to Veen a few times over the...
Yahoo open up their UI libraries... (February 14, 2006) I don't often write about places where I work, but this is a happy exception. Yahoo have massively extended the already pretty terrifyingly impressive Yahoo! Developer Network with a whole foray into design patterns and client-side technologies. So first you've...
Links for 2006-02-14 (February 14, 2006) Awesome robot transformer... and it's real! You can see them in the labs building this thing and then completing their first Optimus Prime and suddenly having to work out what the hell they could do with the damn thing...
My 'Future of Web Apps' slides... (February 13, 2006) Right then. My slides. I've been trying to work out the best way to put these up in public and it's been more confusing than I thought it would be. Basically, the slides are so Keynote-dependent and full of transitions...
Korean Barbeque comes to London... (February 13, 2006) I'm so out of practice in writing this thing that I hardly know where to start. The distractions of a new job and conference deadlines and life-organising rubbish have left my weblog lonely and forlorn. And - as usual -...
Links for 2006-02-11 (February 11, 2006) I'm a URL fetishist Patrick takes one of my rather poor in-talk jokes a little too literally. Still, now I quite want it on a T-shirt......
My first reactions to The Future of Web Apps... (February 9, 2006) Wow. Yesterday's Future of Web Apps summit was completely intense. I'd been worrying about talking for about a month, and puzzling away at what I wanted to say for even longer, which is pretty much why my site has been...
Links for 2006-02-04 (February 4, 2006) YouTube presents "Brokeback to the future" Okay now this is just genuinely awesome almost beyond the counting of the ways. Obviously it helps if you've seen Brokeback Mountain, were obsessed about the Back to the Future trilogy and had...
Hey dude! (February 2, 2006) Just a quick hello to the guy at the Square Apple shop on New Oxford Street, and a quick apology to everyone else for being completely off the radar - work's kind of eaten my soul a little bit...
