The rebellion will be crushed ! on Flickr

2009-05-05T06:05:00.001-07:00

via ffffound.com

I just spotted this piece of frickin awesome on my Google Photo Screen Saver. It seemed rather fitting after a most excellent bank holiday weekend spent with my son (Chester, 6 yr old), continuing the Star Wars induction. We watched 'Empire Strikes Back', which at times was too dark and hard for him to absorb. I was then taken back (bordering on mortified) when he specified he wanted to skip 'Return of the Jedi' in favor of 'The Phantom Menace'. Dam you Jaja Binks.

Chester quickly grasped the significant weakness of the Battle Droids, "They are rubbish". He will learn their demise on Naboo only fueled the republics thirst for a superior army.

I continue to re-live my childhood and the 80's with great success. Already we have totally covered:

* Transformers
* Thundercats
* BMX Bandits
* Dark Crystal
* Labyrinth
* Never Ending Story
* Karate Kid
* A Team
* Knight Rider
* and many more...

Thank you Allen Clark (links below) for brightening the day.

Extreamly Clever Google Latitude Stunt

2009-04-16T23:32:00.001-07:00

via youtube.com

I have been using Google Latitude for a while now, and although a little creepy, I love it. I have Google Maps version 3.0.1 installed on my BlackBerry (which is constantly pinging my location via GPRS) and the Goggle Latitude widget on my iGoogle.

On a personal level it can appear to be a little 'Big Brother' ish. But the business potentials are huge and the quirky potentials are vast as demonstrated here in this video. I thought of suggesting a similar experiment for one of our local digital/ social meet ups (http://www.northerndigitals.com/ or http://geekup.org/) here in Manchester, UK.

Vix's final farewell doo. All the best

2009-03-27T01:00:00.001-07:00

A great Friday saw a sad day as Vix moved on to pastures new. The night consisted of going to two shit bars followed by one amazing bar Moho (Northern Quarter, Manchester). I’m not sure many people actually remembered Moho?

Enjoy drunkenly photo’s.

Good luck Vix!

Forth bridge, Edinburgh. Levels, sillouhette and gorillapod (on top of car)

2009-03-20T02:11:00.001-07:00

via flickr.com

After visiting Edinburgh a few weeks ago, me and Verity had a quick drive out to the Forth Bridge before the drive home. It's quite a spectacle. Is it me or do engineering wonders like this not happen anymore?

The car was just behind us so couldn't resist popping the gorillapod on the roof and taking a quick shot. Then i obviously level'd the hell out of it in photoshop and popped it on flickr. I need develop some new techniques in photoshop, I'm just a one trick pony.

I took a quick look on flickr for some more forth bridge photos, the results made me feel totally inadequate. Check them out they are amazing:

Excellent/ funny "Apple rules the mobile world" analagy (Diggnation #186)

2009-03-19T03:44:00.001-07:00

via revision3.com

I've been all over podcasts recently, signing up to some really useful feeds/ cast in iTunes. I never really got into 'digg nation' but yesterday i watched a full episode (#186). The full episodes are 40-50 minutes long, which is a big investment in time and they only got to talk about 6-8 diggs. Around digg discussions there is a lot of padding and toilet humor, which i actually liked (dam it).

iPhone Killer!? The episode includes discussions around the preview of the 'palm pre'. Start >> 6:00 minutes. Looks cool, this is relevant in the office right now as i seem to be the only one without an iPhone. I'm still on a sucky BlackBerry, which i like but i need to upgrade my model.

Funniest part of this episode was Alex Albrecht's comments on Apples domination of mobile. Start >> 12:00 - 13:00 minutes

Totally amazing gesture technology

Pattie Maes demos the Sixth Sense | Video on TED.com

This video was sent around the studio a couple of days ago, the tech is awesome. The user has a camera, projector, mirror, finger pointers and phone attached to them. By the use of simple gestures and finger movement, complex digital tasks can be carried out. Taking photo's, displaying information, drawing, image recognition.

There is definite value here, exciting!

Setting up posterous comms in outlook

2009-03-11T06:24:00.001-07:00

I have tired to post communication from my Blackberry using one of my verified email addresses in my posterous account, but no joy. There may be an issue around how the Blackberry compiles and sends the email? Headers? I need to dig deeper.

I'm really liking www.posterous.com so far. It can be really helpful for people on the move, with little time, who are trying to operate over multiple digital channels.

Posting via Outlook is excellent, its great for saving time by re-using a core application, which is already open (as part of my day to day). Its one less login and one less application/ window to worry about.

Just need to sort out a mobile/ Blackberry option for when i am not in the office.

New version (0.1) of the Great Fridays website now live. www.greatfridays.com

2009-02-04T05:49:00.001-08:00

Over the past week i have been working with our internal teams (design and development) to get the new version of the Great Fridays site live.

www.greatfridays.com

This is not the fully loaded version of the site, merely a version 0.1, to move us forward. The site will provide an early platform for us to communicate our new brand and invite people in to discover what we are all about.

2009 are exciting times, all change, all change! As a business we have been able to re-focus and now we have a drive to talk about our people, their skills, engage with strategic partners, build relationships and make friends.

We still have some SEO and dev boxes to tick:

sitemaps.xml - done
PPC
Directory listings
Flash 10 version
Careers section
Great Fridays Blog
Great Fridays Labs
Great Fridays Show Reel

I'm just about to carry some tests in Google Website Optimizer, i've been hearing some good things on a recent podcast.

ATTENTION: All change, all change

2008-12-18T06:21:00.001-08:00

Last week i was working for Lightmaker Manchester Ltd. This week I now work for 'Great Fridays', www.greatfridays.com. It's only a holding page for now.

I am still in Manchester, still working with a 'great' team and soon we will be looking to position ourselves as one of the best digital agencies in the North West and UK.

There is lot's of stuff to get though but these are exciting times, check back next year for a sparkling new site.

I have been ranting about the Panopticon's a little lately. An ambitious project by the Lancashire council, to raise the profile of the area. The 'Halo' (not featured in the picture) sits on 'Top o' Slate' in the Rossendale Valley (featured in the photo).

I also seem to have gone a little bit crazy on sunsets, sky lines and silhouettes of late. I guess its an easy way to make a poor photography look good.

This is my favorite of the most recent.

I've been quiet for far too long...

2008-11-28T04:19:00.000-08:00

Over the years i've been far to quiet on the internet. Time to 'take it back, take it all back', re-visit some core roots (Web, Design, Development, Digital, Apps).

It's time for aggregation, my activity is too broad and sporadic. See my channels:
