I’m in the middle of a self inflicted horror story of photo scanning having decided to scan in the family’s entire photo collection, and collate, order and restore them as I go. Bizarrely my virtually brand new scanner has proved incredibly disappointing in terms of quality and I’ve had to resort to using my ten-year-old Epson multifunction with, I think, fantastic results. I know obsessives would find flaws with the scan quality and my subsequent touching up (of the photos that is) but I’m only ever planning on storing them at full-res on my Flickr for posterity so I’m more than happy with them for now. I’m loving finding the very old and incredibly embarrassing photos though, and the one above is quite a tame example compared with several of the scarier ones. My Flickr privacy settings had better hold up!
Oh my God, this is absolute genius. Comedy Dave has just been telling Moyles listeners about the ‘large’ lady who featured in the record breaking Lucien Freud painting which has just sold for £17.2m. BBC News seem to think that she is actually referred to affectionately as ‘Big Sue’ but something obviously went wrong within ITN’s newsroom and this is the result…
Well as a loyal (yeah right) customer of the oxygenated bubble lovers I am of course going to take notice of this one. Engadget has it via the Guardian that O2 CEO Matthew Key has confirmed the launch within the next few weeks. Rather ominously he said that when we should expect an actual launch is ‘a question for Apple’ but at least we know its almost guaranteed we’ll have a WWDC announcement. Keynote! June 9th! Woo!
Blimey I look angry there... why on earth is that my avatar?
Here I try to comment on the world around us and reflect on life in general - probably limited to my latest rants about irritating advertising campaigns and musings based on my daily jaunt through the web's seemingly countless news outlets.
