Canon Ixus 120is

November 14, 2009 · 11 Comments 

Back in the 90’s I traveled for a good many countries with a Canon Ixus. Great optics but as it was an APS camera it was next to useless. Expensive film processing and a format that although compact, didn’t survive. My first hands on look at what Canon are are doing now with their Ixus range came from @ilicco at the Tuttle club when he showed me his Ixus 110is I was really impressed with the build quality, the size and the video. I shot a burst of HD video, dragged it to my macbook and had to stop for a moment.... [Read the full story]

All I know is it certainly played a part. @CraigElder sources David Cameron questions on Twitter to answer at The Open University Perhaps now with new Natural Language Processing... [Read the full story]

Were Secret Societies The First Social Networks?

March 21, 2009 · 16 Comments 

I am not a Freemason but i have been asked more than once to don the apron and swear the oaths.. I have also been told that Freemasonry is not a secret society, It is a society with secrets.

Longplayer Live at The Roundhouse

September 21, 2009 · 1 Comment 

Longplayer Live is an incredible endeavor. I first blogged about it here. A single composition playing for 1000 years. It started in 1999 and on the 12th of September I was invited by Artangel to blog about it live. It was a great day. It was a long day. 1000 minutes of 1000 years. You can find some Audioboo’s by myself and others tagged with Longplayer here and some of my Flickr images here. Here is the Longplayer Posterous blog. The Longplayer trust has been set up to keep it going. Click HERE if you feel you can... [Read the full story]
