After a number of interesting panels in the day, it was time for beers and Diggnation. Think of being 10 years old and looking up to your biggest, most favourite music star. Now imagine the excitement if you were told you’d get to meet them. That’s how I felt yesterday. I filmed a good part [...]
Apple understands us better
Diggnation 106: Alex points out that iPhone contains “fuck” in its dictionary. Props Apple, Nokia just pretends words like that don’t exist.
Apple TV, Diggnation and chicken stories
A few weeks ago, we bought an Apple TV. For those who aren’t familiar with it but have used a recent Mac, just picture it as Front Row on steroids. And on your TV. The first logical thing to do was to put as much music as possible on its weighty 160GB hard drive, so [...]
iMovie ’08: What the bleep!?
Having just read David Pogue’s review of iMovie ’08, I think it’s safe to say it doesn’t appeal to me and I won’t be rushing out to get a copy. Going from a somewhat buggy but generally nicely featured video editing application to what sounds like a painfully basic piece of software doesn’t strike me [...]
Please boss, can we do this too?

For the love of Nokia
The ever annoying default Nokia ringtone has inspired a song. How long until the iPhone marimba ringtone gets the same reaction?
Just can’t wait for the iPhone…
I’m still highly undecided on whether the iPhone’s soft keypad having no feel to it or half my makeup transferring onto my screen will be enough to drive me nuts. but I guess it’ll be a long time before I get a real go on one, but I’m looking forward to the Americans’ feedback. Very [...]
Joost: Party’s over, we’re pulling the plug
Everyone’s having kittens over getting an invite to Joost these days, with it being one of the most coveted invite-only beta of the moment, and apparently the greatest thing since caramel popcorn. I’ve had an invite for a few weeks now, and expectations were very high when I first joined. I was less than overwhelmed [...]
Midnight at the sushi bar
What an interesting way to capture the evening’s atmosphere.
KT Tunstall’s Big Black Horse with samplers
I know I’m going a bit heavy on the videos these days, but this is just too good not to share. KT Tunstall is great, she’s such a REAL artist, and I think this video shows it again. Lone woman on a stage, yet you’d believe me if I said she was accompanied by a [...]
