Ordered a bumper on Saturday; received shipping email on Monday.
Strange because the App said 3-5 weeks delivery.
Apple – iPhone 4 – Case Program
PS – Yes, I know that I’ve had no issues with the phone, but it’s free!!!
Goodbye Barcelona…
…hello, Aix en Provence.
More Apple…
If you don’t understand the Apple saga.

“To see what makes thecentre:mk special, go to the new mall next door: Midsummer Place, an inept design of “friendly” wavy roofs and tacky materials which contrasts with the original vision in almost every way.”
thecentre:mk is not a spelling error. The idiots think that this makes it more appealing.
Barcelona and Chicago…
So I’m sitting in the Gothic center of Barcelona reading this…
The image of a man you do not see – Roger Ebert’s Journal
And just to add to the mix, this morning I went and saw the German Pavilion; built by Mies.
I never liked the Tribune Towers or the Wrigley building. However, I love federal plaza but not IBM Plaza.
They look the same but they’re not!
Everything is about situation and the surrounding area. It’s why the Berlin Jewish Museum is so good and the Imperial War Museum in Manchester so bad; yet the actual buildings are so similar.
Try it again; Bilbao Guggenheim is amazing and the Walt Disney Concert hall a poor copy.
Which brings me back to Barcelona, it works because the mixture is mixed so well.
The Sandpit…
While I’m embedding video…
More childhood…
Will anything ever sound this different?
Beautiful pictures…
“The Mercury features an extended nose section that is vital to the aerodynamics of the train, allowing it to attain speeds of 225 mph. The train also includes a very inviting, bright and comfortable interior. The top deck has windows that curve up onto the roof allowing for views of the landscape as the train races down the tracks. The 400 meter-long train also includes some private berths for families or private parties that include bars, work areas, and couches. Even a child’s play area will be integrated into the train, along with a luxurious first class section for those who want to travel in style.”
And when will this train service start? Never, it’s a press release!
The big difference with Concorde, the Spitfire, Rolls Royce and the Routemaster bus is that they never had a press release but they really did exist!
Paying for The Times Online…
This I’d not foreseen…
“Why would I get any of my clients to talk to the Times or the Sunday Times if they are behind a paywall? Who can see it? I can’t even share a link and they aren’t on search. It’s as though their writers don’t exist anymore..”
Winds howl over the deserted moonscape behind Rupert Murdoch’s UK newspaper paywalls – Boing Boing.
Does this mean that the writers need to be paid more to write for a non-public site. It probably does, but I’m not sure that the writers at The Times would understand the economics of it!!!
Conway’s Game of Life in HTML 5
As a Computer Science student I spent many an hour playing with the game of life.
However, the one thing that I wanted to do was change the rules so that there were less stable states (ie – there would be more movement) and yet this games would last a long time. Never did find the right solution to that one.
