I haven’t posted anything about photography lately I was clearing a loft the other day and came across an instruction manual for an old Polaroid Land camera, which I can only assume my father owned at some point (his writing is on the back page, I’m guessing maybe he was costing out a ki...

I’ve already mentioned this on Twitter, but so far I haven’t had a chance to write about the culmination of my first “proper� efforts to create a mashup: TwtrCtr. For those not obsessed with Twitter or their follower numbers, there’s an application you probably haven’t heard of called Tw...

Regular readers will know that one of the things that I’ve been getting more into this year is video editing (see the page that I’ve just added as a teaser for things to come in 2009). This has been driven by the increasing ease-of-use of online services, the capabilities of the machines...
