Ah boo!

THe snow melted by the morning!


It’s snowing!!!

Wahoo! hehe! I likes the snow, in case you didn’t realise!!!!


Thieves’ tracked via satellite

This is fantastic! The wonders of technology and how it can be used for good so well! Maybe we should start making electrical equipment with GPS built in, would be a great anti-theft device!


stirman.net

stirman.net is a page I came across a couple of weeks ago thanks to
Natalie Jost, one of my regular reads, it actually is a very close demonstration of an idea I have been thinking about lately. I’ve wanted to setup a page that tells me a few items of news (from the bbc website), [...]


Beyond Safari

I was going to apologise for this post being a bit off topic, but then I decided it wasn’t! Mainly because my blog is for me and is meant to reflect me, so this post is reflecting the geeky/tech side of me, hehe! Anyway, I had a couple of friends who recently switched [...]


It’s fun to blog!

The last few days of blogging have been very enjoyable! Very enjoyable indeed!
I want to thank a few people for making it so fun over the last few days. It’s not just been through interaction here, although that has been a big part in why I have enjoyed it so much, but it’s [...]


White beetle dazzles scientists

Could this be what Apple make the next white iPod out of?


Open Thread

Nick over at TCRA has an expreimental Open Thread going on at the moment. He posted with no comment really, just asking people to talk about what they want to talk about. The discussion is starting to build and gain some direction now, join the fun.


Is the BBC worth the money?

With the news TV liscenses are set to rise in price the BBC asked some young people for their thoughts. Some interesting thoughts, but notice they are all pro BBC, not really objective reporting!


Twitterfied

Yup, I’m now on Twitter. The idea was to have my status show up in the sidebar of my blog, but I seem to be having some feed issues and it’s not displaying. I’m using Twitterrific to update my status, if you are a twitterer then please feel free to add me.


Nearly there!

I’m nearly at my 100th comment here on Electric Weekend. It’s taken a while but the site is really starting to get some people more involved, it’s making for a much more enjoyable blogging experience. If you visit and don’t say much, please do say hello, I always like meeting people!
EDIT: One [...]


Rolf Harris

The other day, Sunday I think it was, I watched “Rolf Harris: A Life Time In Painting”. I’ve always been a bit of a Rolf Harris fan, at least where his art was concerned, and it was a really interesting program to watch. I have always found his artwork really interesting and, well [...]


Mini TV!

Came across this fantastic animation. Well worth a look, and very amusing as well, its just cool! (via)


Address Book and GMail sync

Found this today as I checked around the net for some more free .Mac equivalents. I’ve not tried it yet but I’m sure I will give it a go soon. (via)


Graphic Inspiration: Derek Punsalan

So as I’m studying Graphic Design at University, one of the big things for me whilst surfing the web is finding sites I think are either: great design or designs I find inspiring (which I suppose covers the first one as well). I decided since I enjoy looking at these sites and find them [...]


Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

So last night I had the pleasure of playing on a Wii. Man they are so fun! And I mean REALLY fun! It successfully put something back into playing computer games that I have felt has been missing for a while now. Yep you guessed it that 3 letter word, fun.
At [...]


Who needs a stylus?

Someone clearly has too much time on their hands!
Who Needs A Stylus?


Downloadable Calendar

Nice graphic downloadable calendar my house mate Craig pointed me towards.


Safari for Windows?

Some speculation about Safari on Windows, which to be perfectly honest I don’t think will happen at all. Apple just wouldn’t stand to gain anything if they did this.(via)


iPhone round-up

More iPhone thoughts this is starting to get boring with the amount of coverage, but I can’t seem to calm my eagerness to know more about the product!
