Religion and the Media
Thanks to 9rules I came across this interview with Ben Gray about Religion and the Media. It covers some interesting points about how Religion is covered and what Ben thinks journalists could do to imporve their coverage.

The BBC’s thoughts on Steve plea for no DRM
After last nights post from Steve Jobs on the Apple website about the future of downloadalbe music and DRM, the BBC feature an interesting article about the issue. Taking in some opinions from other people and looking at the situation as a whole. Personally I would love to be able to download music [...]
DRM from Steve’s perspective
Interesting article straight out of Apple about DRM’s and the future of downloadalbe music. It could be triggered by the recent banning of iTunes in Norway and the prospect of many more bans in other EU countries. Seems to be a very important article to me.
Mac PC Comparison
Came across this in my feed reader about the new Mac UK adverts. Now I’m guessing it was written to provoke, but sheesh, talk about uninformed! These are things my Dad says mockingly to me! Particularly the “toy” computer part!
Wanna direct a movie? All applications to Myspace.com
MySpace are offering the chance to win a directing job on a £1million film. Just crazy talk, I can’t really see the standard of entry being that high, certainly not going on my experience of MySpace!
Tagging, need some help!
I use tagging here on Electric Weekend in order to filter and sort my content and for some reason lately I have been reading/seeing a lot of stuff about it. I’ve kind of developed a new understanding for how tags should be used, and as a result I want to remove/streamline some of my [...]
I can’t write all day
I think the last couple of weeks trying to write my dissertation have really given me an insight as to how I work as a person. I’ve come to one conclusion. I can’t just sit and write all day! My mind explodes! I need to do something creative as well.
I started [...]
“Dramatically more secure”
Bill Gates sais Vista was “dramatically more secure than any other OS”. Apparantly its not. It still requires extra software in order to fend off upto 99% of attacks. Although it seems non of the security software in this test worked 100%. Makes me glad for my Mac security!
Apple End Beatles Battle
Looks like the Beatles and Apple have stopped fighting! Maybe now we will get to see some Beatles on the iTunes Store.
Gerrard to Captain England
The guy who should be the captain of England is set to do just that on Wednesday night as England take on Spain in the first international friendly of 2007. It will be interesting to see what McLaren does tonight, I agree with him dropping Beckham but beyond that his decision have been mysterious [...]
Bored Design?
Fantastic article by Jason Santa Maria about beating what he calls “Design Stagnation”. It’s interesting that he talks about it having been in the industry a few years. I think it also applies to students as well, it can be easy to do what yout hink is expected, to do what the industry [...]
What hands can do
Fantastic advert by VW. I love stuff like this, it just demonstrates how close to home creativity and inspiration can be. Although I’m not sure I would’ve liked to have been on the team that choreographed it all! Looks incredibly complex.(via)
More than just symbols
I’ve spent the last couple of days writing, or at least trying to write, stuff for my dissertation. It’s been qutie a hard task, the subject of my dissertation is looking at the use of Christian symbols in advertising and one of the things I’ve been trying to do is look at the key [...]
IBoughtaMac.com
I came across this site a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t post it for some reason. I thought it would be quite helpful as I know Nick just bought a Mac. Fittingly it’s called Iboughtamac.com! IT has some useful tid bits on it but I’m sure it will grow into quite [...]
BBC on-demand MicroSoft only!
After pointing you all towards the BBC plans for on-demand content, my initial excitement is now somewaht diminished! It looks like it will be Microsoft only! Personnally can’t believe it and think it’s a very bad idea. Mac users are known for pioneering technology, so not providing an option for them seems [...]
Harry Potter 7 pre-order!
The Pre-Order for Book 7 of Harry Potter is now in Amazon. I don’t konw how long it has been there, but I’ve only just come across it. Hehe, looking forward to the ending of this series. WOnder what she has in-store for us.
Tagging Takes Off
This is probably nothing new but I found finding out a view on tagging to be quite interesting. It’s something I use on this site to organise my content and as a concept find quite interesting. Personally I think it will show a more accurate representation of what someone thinks, than a more [...]
