TEDTalks has a rather fascinating talk on how the Internet is driving innovation in communities that span continents. Well worth a look

Today’s xkcd captures ISP tech support perfectly. Except Virgin Media. Those guys seem to actually be able to deviate from the script and realise I know what I’m talking about when I walk the tech through all the steps that I’ve tried.

Everyone likes a cup! I know I do!

A friend linked this to me and now I have to learn this. And then do it with fire. Seriously, how awesome is this?!

Hello!! After much procrastination, sitting around on my arse and pawing ineffectually at the screen like a slack-jawed Luddite, I’ve sorted us out a website after Jan poked me and bribed me with Pretzels! It’s essentially a blog and community site for the firespinning folk I’m friends with to hang out, post pictures, musings and so forth.

I just installed a nifty tool on my G1 which allows me to post stuff from my phone wherever I am. Scary! It’s like Twitter Lite! Hope you enjoyed my web design post – I have another in the works about how to keep your data safe and prevent data loss. If you haven’t already, I’d suggest joining DPS where you’ll find a slew of useful photography tips. See you next time! ...

Here’s a quick cross-post from a forum that I post on about how to design your portfolio site. You’ll have noticed that I will probably liberally ignore any and all of the tips that I lay out here, but still! So without further ado, here goes!
