There are lots of tutorials for how to create a Kindle case from a hollowed out book. This is the first time I’ve seen one in the wild.
Created by my colleague Elliot Moore.

When the Web was young, and I was even younger, there existed a number of schemes which offered to pay you to surf. Usually this involved installing a permanent advert bar on your PC which tracked your usage and displayed adverts to you.

Vodafone has suffered a massive blow to it corporate reputation in recent days. A security error on their site allowed anyone to find customers’ email addresses and phone numbers. It’s still unknown if any accounts were compromised due to the flaw – nor is it known [...]

A quick report on OpenTech 2010 – the London event for geeks interested in Government data, openness and generally doing good things with tech and data.
I attended last year’s event which inspired me to create my “VoteUK” service for the 2010 general election. I had considered doing a talk about the [...]
In the last week, I’ve played two ARGs around London. Using Alternate / Augmented Reality is an amazing way to discover – or rediscover – a city.
