I attempted this Nathan Barley-esk video shot to try and demonstrate the wind conditions on the assent to Whernside, the second of the three peaks, on the 'Yorkshire Three Peaks Challlenge'. We finished the 24 mile walk in 11.5 hours, 30 minutes under the 12 hour challenge time. #WIN

I just spotted this piece of frickin awesome on my Google Photo Screen Saver. It seemed rather fitting after a most excellent bank holiday weekend spent with my son (Chester, 6 yr old), continuing the Star Wars induction. We watched 'Empire Strikes Back', which at times was too dark and hard for him to absorb. I was then taken back (bordering on mortified) when he specified he wanted to skip 'Return of the Jedi' in favor of 'The Phantom Menace'. Dam you Jaja Binks.

Chester quickly grasped the significant weakness of the Battle Droids, "They are rubbish". He will learn their demise on Naboo only fueled the republics thirst for a superior army.

I continue to re-live my childhood and the 80's with great success. Already we have totally covered:

* Transformers
* Thundercats
* BMX Bandits
* Dark Crystal
* Labyrinth
* Never Ending Story
* Karate Kid
* A Team
* Knight Rider
* and many more...

Thank you Allen Clark (links below) for brightening the day.

I have been using Google Latitude for a while now, and although a little creepy, I love it. I have Google Maps version 3.0.1 installed on my BlackBerry (which is constantly pinging my location via GPRS) and the Goggle Latitude widget on my iGoogle.

On a personal level it can appear to be a little 'Big Brother' ish. But the business potentials are huge and the quirky potentials are vast as demonstrated here in this video. I thought of suggesting a similar experiment for one of our local digital/ social meet ups (http://www.northerndigitals.com/ or http://geekup.org/) here in Manchester, UK.

Just spotted this on FFFFOUND! It's just what i needed on an early bank holiday morning, bug fixing!

After visiting Edinburgh a few weeks ago, me and Verity had a quick drive out to the Forth Bridge before the drive home. It's quite a spectacle. Is it me or do engineering wonders like this not happen anymore?

The car was just behind us so couldn't resist popping the gorillapod on the roof and taking a quick shot. Then i obviously level'd the hell out of it in photoshop and popped it on flickr. I need develop some new techniques in photoshop, I'm just a one trick pony.

I took a quick look on flickr for some more forth bridge photos, the results made me feel totally inadequate. Check them out they are amazing:

I've been all over podcasts recently, signing up to some really useful feeds/ cast in iTunes. I never really got into 'digg nation' but yesterday i watched a full episode (#186). The full episodes are 40-50 minutes long, which is a big investment in time and they only got to talk about 6-8 diggs. Around digg discussions there is a lot of padding and toilet humor, which i actually liked (dam it).

iPhone Killer!?

The episode includes discussions around the preview of the 'palm pre'. Start >> 6:00 minutes. Looks cool, this is relevant in the office right now as i seem to be the only one without an iPhone. I'm still on a sucky BlackBerry, which i like but i need to upgrade my model.

Funniest part of this episode was Alex Albrecht's comments on Apples domination of mobile. Start >> 12:00 - 13:00 minutes

Pattie Maes demos the Sixth Sense | Video on TED.com

This video was sent around the studio a couple of days ago, the tech is awesome. The user has a camera, projector, mirror, finger pointers and phone attached to them. By the use of simple gestures and finger movement, complex digital tasks can be carried out. Taking photo's, displaying information, drawing, image recognition.

There is definite value here, exciting!
