The mystery behind the driedonpaper rubber stamp was revealed rather early yesterday morning, the excitement in question being the launch of the new INQ1 (pronounced “ink one”) Facebook phone on 3. I went along to the launch party in the evening to have a play with the phone (and eat their canapés).
First impressions were that [...]
I’m gonna keep this quick, ‘cos I gotta eat, but there are two places in London’s Chinatown that you should not pass by without dropping in to sample their dumplingy delights.
Jen Café! stand up and be counted! Dumplings are made in the window and they even serve up tea with chrysanthemum flowers boiled in it. [...]
A handful of us went down to Brighton about a month ago (wow, I’m really doing well with those timely posts) for this year’s dConstruct. For those what don’t know, dConstruct is a very awesome design conference aimed at web people, organised by those charming fellows at ClearLeft (who do loads of stuff, but most [...]
I bought a Flip camcorder on Thursday and have been test-driving it over the weekend. I’m overjoyed by the thing, although a number of people have told me they don’t quite get it - why, for example is it better than using a phone cam?

I’ve just finished “The Economic Naturalist“, in which Robert H Frank seeks to unpick a series of puzzling situations we observe in the world around us. Questions such as, “Why does a light come on when you open the refrigerator but not when you open the freezer?” and “Why do many schools require children to [...]
I’m joining a growing list of my colleagues trying the 25 words writing project, but I really like the idea. As I’m abroad right now, here’s this:

On Monday, I went to Camden’s Koko to see the Black Kids and Foals play as part of the iTunes Live festival. I went as a reporter for website and iptv channel TVBOMB.
