Email them around, send them to your phone and bluejack people, stick em on walls - whatever.

Oh yes, get the PDF for printing here.

Ive not had a chance to read up much on it yet, but of course I want an iPod touch. I also like the new look Nano despite there being some debate around about it looking 'chubby'.

So, iPod Touch or iPhone? It's certainly a tough decision: I'd like an iPhone but it's currently only 8gig and will of course come tethered with a phone contract; The iPod Touch is a nice proposition but it still means carrying a phone around and whilst 16gb isn't bad, it's not the 30gb I currently have. I'll have to wait a bit I guess.

Jon and I (Jon is the other member of the audio engineering team at The Fawcett) are looking at getting a nice Firewire mixer for.. well, not just the Open Mic Nights but for anything else which might come up but also just because it's got flashy lights and LEDs. We have so far decided in this Phonic Helix 12 which should allow each audio track to go as a separate track to Garageband for remixing, fixing levels, EQ etc later. So, if anyone has any experience with such setups and useful suggestions, please speak up. Thanks.

Really, how does this kind of hokum ever make it onto TV?

Have our souls lived before?  Do you believe in life after death?  Have you ever met someone and been convinced you have met them in a previous life?  ... Have I Been Here Before? offers celebrity guests the chance to see if they have lived before ... in a past life. The celebrities will be regressed by experienced therapist Andrea Foulkes, and in the process they often reveal some deeply intimate thoughts about their current lives.

Also, their video player (which appears to be Flash based) doesn't work on a Mac. What's with that?

BioShock is a fantastic game; creepy, unsettling, atmospheric, amusing, fun, etc etc. I suggest anyone with an Xbox 360 go out and buy a copy forthwith.

"I had a meeting with my probation officer today and he told me that he has to install monitoring software onto my PC. No big deal to me; that is part of my sentence," he wrote on his Lost and Alone blog. "However, their software doesn't support GNU/Linux (Which is what I use). So, he told me that if I want to use a computer, I would have to use an OS that the software can be installed on." The monitoring software in question is only available for Microsoft Windows. Neither Linux nor a Macintosh running OS X would be an acceptable platform. #

And the "my rendering's better than your rendering" argument continues ..

The issue is reminiscent of the "I hate black bars on wide-screen films" brigade who believe that the film should be chopped, panned, scaled and otherwise distorted from the artists original intention simply so that it fits better on their display. #

The "Apple way" still makes far more sense to me, especially when you see the two side-by-side showing the odd relative scaling caused by the Microsoft philosophy. The Apple rendering enlarges the width proportionately to the height as you'd expect; whereas the Microsoft rendering seems to go up in blocks of 3, suddenly jumping to the next width whilst the height increases.

Legibility-wise, surely no-one claim say that the smaller sizes are more readable with MS's rendering than Apple's? People don't read letters, they read the whole shape of the word and for this Apple's smoother, somewhat softer rendering is far superior.

Even more detail and views. (via)

I've just installed iLife 08 on my Mac and besides a few scares with Garageband initially not installing - it's great. I now have a web gallery of my site designs which I have set to take every Monday using this fine little script. In the past it's just been emailing to my gmail account and being filed away under a tag as I didn't want to add too much rubbish to my Flickr account but this seems perfect. Even more so than that, the script emails the grab to .mac which then also syncs with iPhoto and adds the grab back into my iPhoto library. Wow! That also means that I can now have a gallery of random rubbish which I can add to by simply emailing.
