Is dust a problem for you? Can you write your name in the dust on your LCD screen? Well if you answered yes then this product is for you. It’s a dust cover that looks like a test card. Fantastic, I hope to see more ideas like this. While being a bit too loud for [...]

I really like this. It looks so touchable which is handy as it has a touch screen interface. It uses a very thin touch panel and an active matrix organic LED (AMOLED) so the colours are better (16 million) and it is far more energy efficient managing to play music for 40 hours even with [...]

Just found this and it uses the same Arduino technology that we had in iLab for the past project. Just goes to show what you can do. It’s all about the ideas. Must have more ideas. Check it out here.

iPhone. LG Viewty. Microsoft Surface, HP Touch Smart. All these touch screen phones are already on the market and there are many more on the way as every company follows suit wanting to have at least one touch screen product on their product line-up. These are great technological achievements and showcase some of the best [...]

I have been offered a work placement at ITV Future Technologies in Camden. Great! I’m not writing about that now but I’m sure I will post about what I can while I’m working there. It has got me thinking about my future though. What do I want to do? Who do I want to do [...]

You simply position the objects on the canvas and connect them in order to accomplish a goal. I used this program to create the Shoutbox application. Recently I have discovered Yahoo Pipes which is a web [...]

Lets have a little look and see why this is a pointless endevour to “add another layer of security and not repace existing systems”. A test on [...]

I have been receiving so many compliments about my photography from the Bahamas that I posted on Facebook, and yet I haven’t plugged them here. So, I shall — here are may favourites. As always click on the images to view the full set in Flickr. The sunset is my desktop wallpaper at the moment [...]

While I was in Vegas I had the opportunity to go to the Rio hotel and casino and to the bar with Microsoft Surface tables in it. At first I was really quite amazed at how seamlessly they worked with the decor and surroundings but as I explored them further there were a few usability [...]

I love Robot Chicken. It’s official. I knew Robot Chicken was made by the people that do Family Guy, and I knew that it was stop motion but for some reason I had never watched any of it until my holiday when I put two seasons of it on my iPod. I think it is [...]
