I just got shown this place by my friend Karrin. Apparently it's *amazingly* good. We need something like that here.

I don't know if HDR has any practical uses, but it's fun to play with.

Please excuse the inevitable barrage of Ringtone adverts this post will ensure, but I've been looking for this for ages. Here it is, iPhone ready, the Our Man Flint Ringtone. Clicking that link should add it to iTunes for you.

Lots of people have asked me for more info on how I took the photo in this post so I put a quick and dirty tutorial together. Here it is: Using a Macro Reverser Ring. The results are quite amazing.



Fun stuff, eh?

Reading about the t'internets struggling under the weight of video in this BBC article, I came across a familiar sounding name, Professor Andrew Odlyzko. This took me right back to reading one of his articles in 2001. So, it's time to look back and see an old article that influenced my understanding of the internet back when it was published. The article was Content is not King. Much like the success of SMS over WAP, it's all about doing stuff with each other, communicating and sharing and back then, it just made sense. It still holds true today.

Taken on my new EOS400D using the stock 18-55mm lens reversed and held on by hand.

Click here for the 1280px wide version. Even that's reduced from the 3000+px original. In other news, I can't wait for the moon to come out again. Needs me a shot of the moon with the new camera. Oh boy.

Before I forget, if you're looking for a dedicated server, mine is hosted on 1and1. If you go through that link, you help pay for this site. No, they're not as good as Rackspace, but they're a quarter of the price.

It's got Lego, an iPhone and it's an Unpacking. Way to geek t'internets. How not to geek t'internets is to grumble in these pants.
