“the concrete world is starting to get ya.”
Here’s a photo from inside a Birch hangar on top of the Berkshire Downs.
I love the Berkshire downs. It’s so peaceful, surrounded by nature, a million miles away from my daily life which is increasingly led by technology. It’s good to get away.
More photos of mine from the Berkshire Downs here. I even saw a Muntjac and a Water Vole 
An absolutely excellent video, seen on Chewingpixels.com
Love the dead HDDs being put to good use. And the spectrum. and … etc.

I managed to resist the last iPhone, but this time i’m not too sure i’ll be able. What’s different this time? The combination of 3G, GPS, and an accelerometer. This could seriously be the start of a new – maybe even revolutionary – gaming platform.
Location-aware gaming might take off now. I’m thinking that companies that are already doing similar things (like Locomatrix) might see a lot more interest in the coming months. Perhaps a mix between GPS gaming and PMOG (Passively Multiplayer Online Game) could be interesting? I’ve got to get one of these and start experimenting..
Of course, the combination of 3G, GPS, and accelerometer has been done before in a few phones, including the excellent N95, but -assuming the GPS works on the iPhone 2.0 – there’s one huge difference here: The ludicrous fanboy factor. Any interesting apps and games for the iPhone are going to be lapped up by a very vocal, very active, very influential fanbase.
Will we see Flash on this? With Adobe’s Open Screen Project, I can only hope Talking of wishful thinking, perhaps Apple will drop the walled garden approach. I seriously doubt it though..
[Update] I see Mashable gets what i’m talking about.
The Alternativa3D engine has been launched! The demos on the site are astounding. While Papervision 3D is excellent, these guys really seem to have set the bar in visual terms. I think that competition can only be a good thing, eh guys?
I can’t wait to try this engine out, it looks really promising.
Respect to the Russians!

After my blog dying at the hands of my old host, i’ve now moved it to Dreamhost. I need to update the CSS to make it look pretty, and also redo my portfolio.
To be honest, I can think of things i’d rather do with my time
