Not Bacon any more

Who is the Center of the Hollywood Universe? Not Kevin Bacon, that’s for sure (check on the list later down the page). Thanks to Rick.

Pictures from the Treo 600

I’m getting more sold now I’ve seen some Treo 600 Pix. But then I just bought a dresser and a ton of crockery last weekend. So gadget spend is deprecated.

Every Playboy centrefold

Every Playboy Centerfold, The Decades. (Work friendly) What happens if you average out all of the centrefolds in Playboy. Nothing much, but I like the idea of an eigen-centrefold.

Spot the difference

Spot the difference. Man that’s hard!

Information overload?

New data says there’s lots of new data. Great headline, bizarre research that says new data (whatever that means) stored in 2002 is 500,000 times the Library of Congress’ entire collection. Which is a lot. However we transmitted four times this amount of information around the world in the same year. Which is a lot of transfer.

Open source

Open source citizenship looks at why some companies can’t easily contribute to the open source movement. I think that government is likely to be the driver here. All the projects I’m working on at the moment require any software produced (where possible) to be released to the public sector so that we get a build once-use many situation, rather than the build 400 times one that we currently have in the UK as each council tries to work out what it needs.

How to introduce blogs

How to introduce blogs to business. Just doing this. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes.
