I’ve been a software guy for a long time now, way beyond a decade, possibly two if I go back to my earliest days of code. The thing that amazed me about code was the potential, the logic, and the rigidly defined grammar of the languages; there was no interpretation, you had the knowledge and…
So, I’ve had this WordPress app on my HTC Hero for a while but never used it until now. Now being defined as a prolonged moment of brain ache and lack of productivity. Also readable as I’ll try anything to kickstart my thoughts again and get back to work. The first thing that I notice…

Messing around with a digicam, a laptop, and some video capture software, produces some interesting results. No after effects added, just simple feedback on the audio and the video to create a dynamic, recursive effect, he unashamedly says could be confused with 2001 A Space Odyssey. 🙂 Seriously though, it’s amazing what you get for…
