I saw a piece of work by this guy a couple of months ago and was really struck by it. I am considering finishing my degree in Graphic Design so I need to start looking at whats out there and Marconi is a great example of modern design. Below is a link to an interview he gave drop.it

Filed under: My Blog experience
Its been a while since I posted about my blog experience so there should be loads to tell. In reality I’ve not spent nearly as much time on my blog as I would have liked and it shows.
What I have done, is some work on the presentation and function of my blog. Having had a look at other peoples blogs (pro & am) I realised i needed to make my blog more functional and non linear. A blog could just be the provider of information but by adding links for people to follow, videos to watch and topics to discuss, it transforms a noticeboard into a topical space for people to come and go, interact and reference. Adding links to web sites I find interesting, other blogs and also my own accounts with the likes of viddler and Twitter has improved my blog in my mind.
Filed under: Video Sharing Sites
www.viddler.com is the new kid on the block in terms of video sharing sites!!! I’m not sure what makes viddler different to Youtube yet. I’ve asked google that question and found a few attempts at an answer. In the main it seems that being able to tag random points in a video and uploading numerous files at the same time without pausing the operating interface is a bonus. I’ll be playing around with viddler in the future.
Filed under: Mobile Phone Technology
As part of my research into what makes the mobile phone so compelling I have been taking a very close look at the iPhone and in particular the add on applications that allow the consumer to tailor their handset to their wants and needs. One of the applications that has caught my eye is iWorkout. The reason it caught my eye is that it is one of the few mobile phone related products that I can see a real use and need for. Its purpose makes sense to me. I can imagine using it on daily basis.
I will now spend a few hours finding out all I can. If I can actually have a go on it then I will, however I don’t have an iPhone or a research budget so i’ll do the best i can and give feedback on my findings.

The Mobile phone is a technology that is evolving continuously and rapidly. There seems a constant flow of ever more advanced gadgetry loaded with more functions than the DynaTAC could ever have dreamed of possessing. And they’re instantly leaping into the consumers pockets with most mobile retailers offering free handset upgrades as incentives to stay contracted to them.
So what makes the mobile phone so compelling these days, why are they the number one must have piece of technology for every (Western) person. I know I can talk, text & wap! Thats been going on for years. But now there is a new generation of mobile phone. The buzz kids around me are producing sleek little numbers with touch screen displays out of their skinny fit sky rockets. At some point very soon it will no longer be know as ‘the mobile phone’ because lets face it, a phone is the last and most basic thing it could be called these days. Its becoming more & more like a ‘user configured personal hub’. It holds music libraries, Photo albums, has GPS and I can even watch a movie on it. Its just unreal how far they have come.
