Spring Widgets offer a platform for the easy creation and distribution of Widget content. I’ve included an example widget in this entry so you can see what I mean. Widgets are very interesting and useful ways to distribute your stuff, if you’re an advertiser or even a humble blogger, but building widgets is a hassle, [...]
Yesterday I went hunting for the 31 Antony Gormley sculptures that have sprung up in Central London, which are part of his Blind Light exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. The sculptures, all over-size and modelled on Gormley himself, have been placed on rooftops, on Waterloo Bridge and in other central locations, and all look towards [...]
Thanks to Vecosys for this story. The BBC Innovation Lab and Ymogen are trialling mobile, user-generated reporting, using Nokia’s latest mobile devices. You can see the results at this site. Apparently, the phones don’t just track location, but also direction and velocity, so the information captured is quite novel. The real trick is going to [...]
I finally have an account with Freebase, the web-based database offering open access to data submitted by anyone who cares to. The service is pretty impressive and interesting, and we’re giving some thought to applications for it here at Agency.com. Essentially, the service holds very structured data and definitions and has a wide range of [...]
I have ads on my blog, partly to see if it might generate some beer money, but mostly to try out some of the technologies and see how good they are. There’s nothing like first-hand experience. And two cases in point have made me write the apparently self-referential posting I’m writing now… The first is [...]
I bought the big version of the Gorilla-pod recently and I’ve been using it a lot. It attaches to almost anything and can handle my big Nikon SLR with zoom lens quite comfortably. I used it over the weekend to take loads of interior shots of a church in Prague, and they’re really good. There [...]
Some of the categories in Jpgmag (the user-generated photography magazine) are getting a little hard for me to enter into … the current list includes viewpoints on the US and I know I can’t do anything much on that one. Anyway, my entry for Dreamscapes is here and if you like it you can vote [...]
.flickr-photo { } .flickr-frame { float: right; text-align: center; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Test posting to Flickr and blog at the same time, originally uploaded by harkmopwood. If this worked, it means the whole MT XML RPC thing is working. Fingers crossed.
This is a lovely articulation of the “waterfall versus iterative” discussion. I agree with a lot of what Leisa is saying, though many clients have problems with the uncertainty of iteration. More than anything else though, I love the presentation style. Best use of post-it notes I’ve seen in a long time, and I’m definitely [...]
