The Cybraphon: Social Media Musical Instrument

The Cybraphon: Social Media Musical Instrument

The Edinburgh Festival throws up some curious spectacles from busking opera singers in corsets to clowns doing monologues in the Radisson Hotel. The most strange thing yet, however, was the Cybraphon – a musical instrument whose tune changes depending on feedback given on social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter and the like.
The instrument itself [...]

Vodafone have unleashed their new-look online mobile phone shop AND send their new range of BlackBerry Storm touch screen mobile phones live to purchase from the site today, 14th November 2008.
Is that a coincidence? I don’t think so, there’s no such thing as a coincidence in the cut-throat world of Mobile Telephony.

Iraq War Inquiry – Already a Whitewash?

There are two procedural issues with the new UK Iraq War Inquiry which severely limit it’s ability to robustly investigate the issues surrounding the British involvement in the war.

Rob Scott: Lord of the Internet

Time for a wholesale change of this page now, after it became apparent that Google agreed with my outrageous claim to be “Lord of the Internet” back in June 2009, when I wrote this very page following a night of high drama in the mean streets of Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
Quite simply, if you go [...]

Matrics Barbarians

Anyone looking to find out about or play social cricket in Newcastle upon Tyne could do a lot worse than heading over to the new Matrics Barbarians website.
To be honest, I helped set this website up, and am only really writing this post to help the website get into those search engines – and hence [...]

London Fashion Week – Who Cares?

Yet again, I write a title that runs the risk of ostracising and alienating roughly everyone who will be searching around the internet for stories about London Fashion Week.
They might well read the title, get very uppity, and not pay attention to what I am about to say, before writing a comment which largely echoes [...]

Quotes for St. Valentine’s Day

Not everyone’s very good a putting their thoughts and feelings into words and that’s what we have poets and writers for.

Download Rage Against the Machine “Killing in the Name” on MP3 if you don’t want the X Factor winner Joe McElderry to be this year’s Christmas Number One track in the UK, which would be the thirty-seven-thousandth time in a row that Simon Cowell has managed to put some dolt on top of the chart, [...]

Santa’s Reindeer Spotted in Edinburgh

Santa’s reindeer are in Edinburgh until 24th December after trotting down from the Cairngorms. They were just having some supper before bed when we spotted them and the lead male was eating the lion’s share.
Santa was nearby in an igloo, handing out presents, and some children had got trapped in a snow globe next door.
There [...]
