Jason Hawkes: Aerial photographer
My debonair colleague Alex Sassoon Coby -- of GameSpot UK fame -- has just introduced me to the work of Jason Hawkes. Hawkes' adventurous name suits his profession: if he wasn't an aerial photographer he'd have to be a deadshot spy or two-fisted jungle guide or something. But instead he takes amazing pictures of the world from on high. Click here for more

I'll sleep when I'm dead... or maybe on the bus
You'd think, with over 25 years -- yeah, yeah, and the rest -- of doing something every day, that I'd have figured out how to do it. Yet I still find myself regularly disturbed, drenched with sweat and unable to fathom this simplest of biological imperatives. I'm talking, of course, about sleeping. Click here for more

Image Fulgurator: Guerilla art, simulacra and flashing at Checkpoint Charlie
The Image Fulgurator, developed by Berlin art student Julius von Bismarck, has sent ripples across the blogosphere. It's a device that projects patterns when triggered by a camera flash, so that von Bismarck's chosen image appears in the hapless snapper's picture. Critics fear invisible adverts, but Kameraflage does a similar thing in a much more monetisable form and that hasn't brought down civilisation as we know it yet. Click here for more

Bad product face-off: Squircle vs iPhone 3G!
In the wake of the iPhone 3G announcement, the excitement generated by the much-hyped build-up was tempered by disappointment. In hindsight, it seems strange that in a product launch, one of the big stories is what features the product doesn't have. This set me to thinking: just what constitutes a bad product? Sometimes it's obvious, like the Squircle: products that don't serve a purpose, products that are daft or rubbish, products that just flat-out don't work. Click here for more

Falling at the feet of the unfeeling
After we pulled out, the inspectors may have sprung into action like the cast of Casualty after a particularly nasty hang-glider/toaster accident, but if so, they have the response time of a Tyrannosaurus rex realising it's just been shot Click here for moreWednesday 14 May 2008, 4:01pm
Gigs and gigabytes
As an indie kid turned skatepunk turned chin-stroking music bore, I go to a lot of gigs. In a past life I did a fair bit of gig photography, so I know how challenging it is. I've long since left the moshpit behind -- although that wasn't the case watching Pendulum earlier this week -- and now I prefer to stand somewhere with a little elbow room and a decent view of both the stage and the bar.
