Links for 2007-11-28 (November 28, 2007) There's a new N95 firmware update out and apparently it massively improves GPS performance. Interesting! Matt Biddulph found this one. Anything that's good for the N95 is good for Fire Eagle. Mobile phones that you can build on with...
Links for 2007-11-27 (November 27, 2007) A capture of the proposed new BBC homepage as spotted by Jeremy Keith People always get designs of homepages wrong. They ask what the homepage is for. What they should ask is what the site is for and make...
Links for 2007-11-26 (November 26, 2007) Absolutely beautiful portfolio-style site (in Flash) by Kashiwa Sato Flash has its place as componentised blocks on HTML, addressable pages. Here it basically occupies those pages completely, but is still beautiful....
Links for 2007-11-25 (November 25, 2007) Freaky old video on You Tube advertising the Apple Lisa with Kevin Costner in it... I think I nicked this one off Kottke. Wouldn't be the first time. A bit puzzled by what it's trying to say. His work...
Links for 2007-11-24 (November 24, 2007) Daft Hands perform "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" Be patient through the first twenty seconds or so and you'll get your ridiculous and entertaining reward. I love the idea that someone could spend all that time working that out......
How to make Treacle Sponge... (November 23, 2007) Steamed Treacle Sponge is an absolute classic of British desserts, along with Sussex Pond pudding, Lemon Meringue Pie, Queen of Puddings, Treacle tart and Spotted Dick--all of which probably sound desperately old fashioned and quaint to at least half the...
Links for 2007-11-23 (November 23, 2007) Twitter on CSI, which everyone's seen, makes me think about the difference between the UK and the US in new sites and technology And France! It reminds me of France! In France with blogs and the US, cultural products...
Links for 2007-11-22 (November 22, 2007) Absolutely extraordinary World of Warcraft adverts, featuring William Shatner and ... insanely ... Mr T! Approaching the funniest thing I've seen in forever. Like the man says on the web page, almost enough to get me to play WOW...
Links for 2007-11-21 (November 21, 2007) The BBC's Children in Need Doctor Who special generated a little squee in my mind that I feel compelled to share with the internets.. It's a dumb, sentimental and clumsy little micro episode, but Peter Davison was my Doctor...
Links for 2007-11-18 (November 18, 2007) Fire Eagle and Brickhouse make Business Week The recent press around Fire Eagle has been pretty interesting. It's always interesting to see where they get some of the facts wrong. Helps me work out where we've not got it...
Links for 2007-11-17 (November 17, 2007) Foamee is a fun, and beautiful, little site by Dan Cederholm built off the back of Twitter It's lovely. Simple and silly, but lovely. Yum yum. I hope I get to work with Dan someday....
Links for 2007-11-05 (November 5, 2007) I really like the idea of the Holocene Calendar. I like the idea of having all of human civilisation in one timeframe. Being able to know that everything that we know that humans have done around us fits within...
Links for 2007-11-04 (November 4, 2007) What PC talks a little about Fire Eagle. Interesting response... I think the thing I hear most from people are anxieties about their privacy. It's a reasonable anxiety and the one that we're most focused on alleviating with sensible...
Links for 2007-11-02 (November 2, 2007) Chris Anderson's brilliant piece on PR people getting blocked from his blog I imagine he has to deal with at a whole other level of stuff to me. PR people are sending unsolicited commercial e-mails. It is spam! And...
