Ooh. Prettiness personified in a web application. Jack Slocum has used the Yahoo! UI libraries in WordPress to create a very interesting new comments system. Aside from the fact that the popping outness and Sky Sports-esque ‘whooshing’ of dialogs opening this makes for a very interesting comments system whereby someone can comment on any one [...]

Well, well. I spoke too soon it appears when praising certain aspects of Google Docs.
Firstly, Google Docs reports that posting a document to my WordPress blog ‘has not been published’, when in actual fact it had.
Secondly as I edited the document back in Google Docs after publishing and then clicked publish again a second posting [...]

I found this tremendous video about the Bumptop 3D desktop on Soapbox.
Video: BumpTop 3D Desktop
Fascinating stuff. I’m a fan of the desktop metaphor but this is extreme. It’s also most entertaining. For all of those of you who have a boss with an untidy desk.

Google have atlast taken Writely and ‘Googleized’ it. Writely.com now points at docs.google.com, and has been given the Google UI that will be familiar to users of Google Mail, Google Reader and Google Spreadsheet. In fact this posting is indeed from Google Docs.

Video: Steve Jobs’ Apple Keynote Bloopers
Hey, even the maestro himself has trouble sometimes. I got access to the MSN Soapbox beta. What a surprise this is one of the most highly rated of the videos. The funniest part for me is Sony’s President though. I mean, atleast Steve gets away with just saying ‘oops’.
Soapbox itself [...]

MSN have run an article on films that make men cry. It seems that there are times, and movies, that are ok for a man to cry at and not be ridiculed by his mates. Of the twenty films in the list I must say that I did cry at the end of The Shawshank Redemption [...]

So TechCrunch report that there is a 40% chance that a rumour has been confirmed that a rumour exists about venture capitalists and tycoons are mentioning that Google might buy YouTube for $1.6B.
Now rumour aside let’s say that this happens. A comment on the posting by Jeffrey says that this values YouTube at $67.51 per [...]

So Lost Season 3 premiered two days ago on Wednesday night. Peeps in UK will probably have to wait until next May (so I’m hearing) before we can expect to see it on terrestrial TV.
In this day and age of streaming media, downloads, PVR’s, VOD and online video stores it seems that it’s still [...]

I’ve decided to start putting together the requirements for what would make the ultimate blog tool. This is based upon the experience I’ve had with Blogger, WordPress and Community Server and using publishing tools such as Windows Live Writer and Writely. I still feel that although great these tools are still not meeting my full [...]
