Well, it looks like people are using tw3.it. What have I learned from developing it so far? Well, .it domains are not too hard to buy, but you need to live in Europe and send a fax to Italy.

Finally saw Planet Terror/Death Proof yesterday. I have to admit, both films are near perfect. The right amount of silliness, gore and suspense with great pay-offs.

I've been asked why I copied tinyurl and the others with tw3 so I explained it briefly here. Basically, if you're using twitter, the difference between an eleven character domain name and a six character domain name is actually significant. To get more than 4 characters after the slash, I'll need over a million and a half entries in the database, which means, including all the paraphernalia, that URLs will be under 18 characters long for some time. Step 3 ... Profit!

Will you look at this? It's an electric motorbike. Yes, it looks suspiciously like a Yamaha R1 with a huge rear sprocket. Don't drag race it; it'll go from 0 to maximum torque at the flick of a switch.

I decided to make a hassle-free URL shortener for twitter. I picked up the domain tw3.it and wrote some code in the amazing Coda. Now I just need to make it work.

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

Here's one I prepared earlier.

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?
