ReMix

I’m in the lab at the moment working on some Mesh-related concepts (cool!) but found the time to head down to ReMix last week. It was great to see and speak to a lot of you over the event. Well, I say see and speak, but clearly after around 9pm I wasn’t

StackOverflow

I love StackOverflow.com . I’ll never be able to contribute of course as I’m knowledge-impaired but it’s a simple and hopefully effective idea – and a twist on the micro-blogging meme. As a gamer, I like the XBOX Achievement-style badge system . I hope

AllOfUs and their Microsoft Interactive Canvas

Much as I’m a big fan of working for big corps like Microsoft, I’m always envious of the environs of agencies such as AllOfUs . I first met these guys when I worked with Leslie from their team on some protoyping late last year. Their all new website points

Homebrew In-Car Entertainment System

Evan is getting older and wiser (8 months old yesterday!) so of course it gets harder to entertain her. For our last journey Oop North to see the rellies I figured I could put together something useful with that useless iPhone I was duped into buying…

Silverlight vFuture to support H.264 and AAC

Given I work in the media space, I should probably be among the first to blog about such things, but of course I never am. This is some of the big news for IBC . This is a pretty big deal though and represents choice for anyone utilising Silverlight,

More on “Free” from Chris Anderson

OK, so I’m really looking forward to the book, but meantime Chris takes the time to draw a few handy diagrams of “The Three Kinds of Free”. Of course, not everyone is a fan of the concept. As Chris points out, 37Signals have a different take: charge for

IE8 Resources

Hopefully by now, you’ve installed your copy of IE8 Beta 2 . But of course that’s not the end of it for a developer. If you’re thinking about compatibility then Katrien has a very useful post.

iTunes Annoyances

I saw this article about the pain that iTunes can become on the Geekdad blog . All interesting points. What’s more interesting of course is that Russ is still a fan of the iPod despite these issues. As I am, and I imagine huge numbers of us are. So: Successful

ReMix Bargain

Now, I know that you’re already likely to be going to ReMix in Brighton . But if you haven’t booked up, there’s still a bit of time (and hopefully some tickets). I was in Brighton last week and it rained for 2 days solid, so I’m hoping it’ll be a bit
