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.

BlackBerry Storm Released in UK! Now Live to Buy from Vodafone (New Site)

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. There are also two further issues which should set alarm bells ringing for observers and those concerned about possible findings.
UK Border Limitations
The inquiry is limited to [...]

I have just finished a short piece about the new Street Talent Productions website that we helped to send online yesterday over at the ‘corporate’ website, and felt that there were some areas I would like to write a little more about on a personal level.

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 [...]

Calvin Harris – You Used to Hold Me – Official Video

Don’t often do this anymore, but here is a new bit of music that has yet to be released in the UK: it’s Calvin Harris with his latest release hot off the press. The track is entitled “You Used to Hold Me” and is sure to go well in the charts. This is the official [...]

Wordpress 2.9 was released overnight!
Which means a day of upgrades for yours truly and the team, but the good news is that all of our sites, themes and plugins appear to be compatible from our rigorous testing.
Wordpress 2.9 is pushing wordpress further toward the complex multimedia CMS that we know it can be – for [...]

Download RATM (Rage Against the Machine) Killing in the Name!

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 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 [...]

Dogs and Cats Wearing Hats!

Dogs and Cats Wearing Hats!

There are things in my life that I am hugely proud of. There are key events which have befallen me, both planned and unplanned, from which rich vein I shall be able to dredge happy anecdotes aplenty to see me well through my golden years, I’m sure. There are many projects I have begun and [...]

Rarer than the JML Snuggie

Here’s another of those phrases that you wish you’d coined, but I got in first with an online blog post about it so therefore, I now own it…
“Rarer than the JML Snuggie”
Who would have thought it, really. I mean really. Its a blanket. With arms. Out of all the products I have ever seen (and [...]

Having your Sandwiches, and Eating them too!

I still can’t work out what I like best: reviewing things; or eating sandwiches.
Today I’m going to be reviewing the Agatha Christie’s Poirot that is scheduled to go out on ITV 1 at 9pm on Christmas day while eating sandwiches.
Read all about it in The Global Herald later, but first, enjoy some of my morning’s [...]

Alexandra Burke “Bad Boys” Feat. Flo Rida

This song has been bugging me for while – what is he on about with the crooked letters? I only realised after reading all the lyrics that Mr Rida means that this girl (Alex Burke) likes crooked things so much that she would only sing the crooked letters of the alphabet if she was reading [...]
