Scott from Google went out on the streets of New York and asked people if they know what a browser is.
The results may or may not surprise you. What they’ll indicate is how those of us embedded with tech, as it were, use common terms like ‘browser’ which many people still simply don’t understand.
Maybe that’s [...]

This morning, I picked up a copy of today’s Daily Telegraph, the edition of the paper that includes “The Complete Expenses Files,” a 68-page report detailing the revelations about MPs’ expenses that the paper has been publishing every day for the past month or so.
The first thing that struck me about this large-sized document [...]

About a month ago, a package arrived from the US via FedEx containing a slim paperback that was the advance uncorrected proofs of Ignore Everybody, the first mainstream-published book from cartoonist and entrepreneur Hugh Macleod, author of the blog Gapingvoid.
The book, published in hardback by Penguin, launched on June 11 and you can buy [...]

I’ve been thinking about this new cartoon from Hugh MacLeod on and off since I saw it yesterday.
Hugh’s gapingvoid cartoons always make you think. I remember when I first discovered Hugh’s cartoons and that you could get one on your business cards. And then, you could get one on a t-shirt.
Heh, create or die. [...]

I’ve changed my Twitter avatar to this photo which I’ll keep throughout this week.
I’m following @rednoseday2009 on Twitter to keep abreast of what’s [...]

The always-excellent cartoonist Matt sums things up very nicely in today’s Daily Telegraph with this front-page cartoon.
In such a British tongue-in-cheek way, it captures the zeitgeist surrounding two highly topical and opinion-provoking events that have dominated the mainstream media during the past week.
One is pretty serious, the other looks as if it is but [...]

Could be someone’s epitaph. It couldn’t be mine: I have less than 12,500.
Great contemporary geek cartoon by Oliver Widder who draws at Geek and Poke. Discovered via Smashing magazine and their terrific showcase yesterday of 50 Beautiful Examples of Comic Strip Art.

If I were to get back into using ecards again – something I used to do a lot in the early 00s: remember BlueMountain? – Someecards.com is the service I would definitely use today.
I stumbled across this site the other day and have been splitting my sides since then over its witty, pointed, timely [...]

It’s nice to start a Monday morning with a bit of a laugh, and what better way to have a laugh today than with this song.
If you’re a Twitter user, the lyrics will make you smile. Wry humour by songwriter Ben Walker that shows some insight into this social micro-blogging networking online world that [...]
