My photo site has been down for a day or two, because of an ‘upgrade’ to the server that I put on last week. Anyway it’s back today and has some new features like better urls, and the ability to sign up for an account. You can see it at this link. Hope you like [...]
When we went to the Making Space exhibition last weekend, we were really impressed by the work on display there. One piece that I could see had taken an age to create wasn’t in the catalogue, and I’ve just found out what it was called and who made it. It’s called “The Tower of London [...]
From http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/10/19/google-quantifies-its-momentum/ Headlines: – Google almost doubled its net income July to Sept 2006 compared with July to Sept 2005, compared with Yahoo’s drop of 38% for the same period. – Their costs in respect of third party sites on their network dropped by 31% compared to the previous quarter: they’re paying less AdSense publishers, [...]

I received a very surprising email from Apple this morning, which you can read in full at http://email.euro.apple.com/apple/servicemail/version1/uk/index_uk.html Initially I was surprised to receive this: it’s practically an invite to unsubscribe from their list, but on reflection I think it’s probably a good idea.

We visited the Making Space exhibition in Spitalfields today. The winning entries for the Shoot City competition on September 30th were shown alongside some very good work by people who’ve been exhibiting for years, including members of the in-public.com group.
Times Online has reviewed the slides at Tate Modern here: http://timesonline.typepad.com/critics/2006/10/tate_moderns_sl.html All the articles I’ve read have debated whether it’s art or not. First of all, everyone I saw taking the ride regressed instantaneously to become a 5 year old: this is an amazing experience and I believe the experience itself is really worthwhile. Secondly, [...]
Since uploading my video of the slide at Tate the other day to Google Video, I’ve discovered that I’m number 5 in Google Video for the search term “Tate Modern”. (See http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=tate+modern for the current position. So we’re going to have a competition at the office to see who can get the number 1 spot, [...]

Our website for Channel Five went live today at http://download.five.tv/ It’s been an interesting project, more complex than we first thought, and I think the site looks great. Go and buy some videos, and make our clients some money! Also, the blog’s properly working again now. I took a while to move it to blog.markhopwood.com, [...]
