    Dicks Daily

    This is one of my favourite photoblogging sites. "A picture every day for the last 6 years, 10 months and 18 days". Which takes some doing. The idea, as Dick says, was to take a picture everyday and "to make sure my […]

    Interesting Snippet

    I like this from Lynette Webb (who works at Google).  Seems to be in tune with a lot of what I've been saying recently. About how people's relationship with content is changing for good. And that's all forms of content, not just […]

    I Feel London

    Andy has created something rather good over here. ifeellondon is a "fun way to share things you like doing in your city depending on the mood you’re in". The idea is that you can get ideas about stuff to do in London […]
