Simply unacceptable
I cant convey how unacceptable this is. Net Neutrality is “A Load of Bollocks” is it Mr Berkett?, lets see what your customers have to say…

Wikid Nice
A friend of Beef made me aware of this interesting piece of kit recently and, if you over look some of the real world difficulties in implementing such a system, it’s really rather unique.
Semapedia.org aims to “connect the virtual and physical world by bringing the right information from the internet to the relevant place in physical space.”
The clever people at Semapedia ask us ordinary folk to print Wiki specific barcodes (that can be created using a simple online form) and literally stick them to their real world counterparts. When you see one, snap it with your standard camera phone and, Bob’s your uncle, the relavent Wiki content is sitting in your hand. (Please note, Bob may not actually be your uncle, he’s certainly not mine. Mine happen to be called Uncle Mike and Uncle Roland.)
Go forth and tag!
Light up Bristol
Last year we participated in Light Up Bristol, and jolly good fun it was to. A whole bunch of the cities creatives came together to produce a series of gigantic animations which where played across the front of the council buildings. We mesmerized Bristol for a week then it was all gone.
Thankfully the lovely lads & lasses over at AntiVJ (Their work is supreme go and check it out) put together a video of it all…
Light up your scrawl
Bit of a light source, a long exposure and some serious skills and you have got some pretty fantastic light graffiti shots…
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Kid to adult this stuff always amazes and fascinates me. Forum post of a set of photos detailing Nasa’s preparation of the space shuttle discovery, from booster to payload to shuttle to launch. I will never get over just how enormous these things are or the mind boggling achivement that anyone ever made all this work!
