Robot Takes A Beating
Added Sunday, July 20th, 2008 10:42 pm GMT +1
Posted in December last year. Possible future stress relief? This shows how developers are tackling the problem of unexpected forces applied to a system. Very useful if a robot happens to be carrying something for you.

Added Sunday, July 20th, 2008 03:14 pm GMT +1
Nintendo has revealed a new accessory for it’s Wii console called ‘MotionPlus’ which adds a new level of tracking for the Wii remotes. This accessory “…lets the Wii register the exact position, angle, and movement of the controller and translate it to a game”. Sound familiar? For those of you who are aware of Johnny [...]
New Electro House Mix
Added Thursday, July 17th, 2008 09:03 pm GMT +1
I have just completed an electro house mix which you can listen to by clicking on the podcast links to the right. The iTunes one downloads it in iTunes (obviously) and the Google one opens it in a streaming flash player in Google Reader. You can also listen to it online here or download the [...]
Mailto Gmail (G-Mailto)
Added Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 10:20 pm GMT +1
I discovered a nice little tool today that allows you to open mailto links in Gmail and not Outlook or another specified mail client. Now there are many things around that function on the GreaseMonkey add-on and intercept mailto links within a web browser and redirect them to Gmail. Great, but what if you need [...]
Third Year
Added Saturday, July 12th, 2008 10:33 pm GMT +1
For the third year I want to experiment more with the physical and not the virtual (although I am quite partial to the virtual). So with that in mind I have been thinking about some things that interest me that I would like to investigate further. Mood Furniture – like mood rings but furniture that [...]
Welcome Back Gort!

I was just having a browse through Apple’s film trailers as I normally do and I was taken aback by a film titled ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’. Considering that the 1951 film of the same name is one of my all time favourites I was hoping that this would be a remake rather [...]

I found this amazing YouTube video in which someone draws a werewolf from scratch in Photoshop. I wish I could do this!
Wall-E Review
Added Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 02:55 pm GMT +1
Simply put, it is the best animated film I have seen in a long time. To say this film was a long time coming is an understatement. I was dubious about the storyline when I first saw the trailer over a year ago but as usual I was side-tracked by the beautiful animation and comedy [...]
What Do You Mean?

Microsoft has recently purchased Powerset, a small company that deals in semantic search engine technology and released a proof of concept through Wikipedia. The principle is inline with other Microsoft Live Search goals, which is moving searching beyond matching mere keywords and phrases but actually understanding the meaning and the context of the search terms.

Maidstone Photos
Added Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 03:28 pm GMT +1
Last night I decided to be pro-active with my photography and took myself, my camera and my tripod down to Maidstone town center. I had already planned in my mind where I was going to photograph so I started by the Millenium Bridge and walked down past two more bridges, crossing the last one and [...]
