Today I was invited along by a friend to Silverstone racetrack for his Exige Experience. I took my camera and here are some of the shots I got. There are some great shots of the sky and on the way home I did some long exposure shots which came out quite well I think. Click [...]

I suddenly had the urge to watch a ‘Weeble and Bob’ cartoon and on their site they have some parodies of films with the help of Cadbury’s Creme Egg. Funny as hell! Here is Goo-Lien. Here is Raiders of The Lost Goo Here is Pulp Goo Here is nothing to do with Cadbury’s Creme Eggs [...]

My Dad recently took delivery of his new Harley Davidson. I’m not sure what it is, I think he said it was a ‘Rocker C’ but I could be mistaken. Anyway I decided to take a few pics of it, not very much at the moment and only one of these I like but as [...]

Have a look at this article on SlashGear. It details a guy who has made a custom 360 controller for people who are unfortunate enough to only have one hand. It is designed for use with the right hand at the moment but there is no reason why the design couldn’t be switched to the [...]

I was browsing TED Talks and came across this video. The guy is basically designing new forms of life, at the level of bacteria but still he managed to transfer a chromosome from one to another and get the new chromosome to overwrite the existing one by making it think the existing one was foreign.

Microsoft has confirmed that they will not incorporate Blu-Ray technology into the Xbox 360. They’re argument is that they can still deliver HD content through the ‘rental’ of media through their Marketplace. Personally I think this is ridiculous. There were always rumors during the HD format war that Microsoft had deliberately invested in a failing [...]

There is a new application about to become a public beta that could change the way people sync data between machines but also the way people share data with each other. Its called Dropbox and its a revolutionary system for syncing across multiple platforms and requires no sophisticated setup, in fact very little setup at [...]

Got my new lens today and so I started shooting random stuff. I’m now looking at macro lenses to get really close up. I might try these shots again with the kit lens as it is better for close up, seeing as the new lens is 30mm fixed it’s a wide angle lens. Good for [...]

The trailing lights are from the LED on the front of my external hard drive. FUN!

So today I got my new camera. A Canon 400D (Digital Rebel XTi) DSLR. It is, in a word, AWESOME! I’m pretty crap at the moment because there are soo many variations. My first assignment is to take a picture of trailing car lights on a busy road. Then I will post up the results. [...]
