Cool shit round up

Monday, February 27th, 2006

Finally before I hit the hay tonight a little roundup a cool shit that is new or has been hanging around.
In the Bush Market I spotted this neato toy. A pseudo laptop with a fake ‘designed for Windows XP’ hologram sticker to add authenticity. The cost? A mere £7.99. Bargain.

Next up… proof that the people […]

Neat shop - New category, neat places

Monday, February 27th, 2006

So this post should really have done last week, because I actually saw this place last Saturday. However it has not been forgotten and has even spawned a new category. Neat places.
So… I was wandering around Oxford Circus, down to Piccadilly (inevitably) via Borders, I ended up at the backside of the Carniby Street area. […]

Squeak! Rodents ahoy on tube. Borrowers next.

Monday, February 27th, 2006

So I have been tubing more than usual this week, but gee I guess I didn’t expect to have a tiny revelation because of it. The tube is full of tiny furry things. Well mice to be precise. Cute lil’ ones, possibly some variety of door mice.
So I first saw them on Monday, then again […]

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Welcome to British Computing Society central, Southampton Street, right off the strand. Posh. Chris Moxon, the current chair of the YPG is presenting.
He did a quick introduction to the people in the room. Mainly either BCS people (working for or on the ‘council’) or people working in financial sector or consulting roles. Chris talked a […]

Geek Dinner mit Paul Boag

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Paul Boag of Boag World fame is speaking tonight at the ‘lesser’* Geek Dinners in London. This is in a quite trendy area, just on the fringes of China town. The pub seems pretty decent, although the nibbles weren’t great for a Vegan geek like myself.
So the format seemed to be a little drinking, a […]

Blogging at the Forum on Open Content

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

So this is my second ‘geek’ this week. Which, I am actually pretty buzzed about. Dorkbot was a hoot but this is a little more serious, examining actually issues.
I arrived a little late and Cory was talking. As usual he was both witty and poignant. You can’t stop being copying bits. You should embrace […]
