July 2007


Watched some great tv last night! Top Gear covering their trip last April to the Magnetic North Pole. Clarkson with lead foot syndrome getting sheepish after breaking a vehicle, May moaning from the off and Hammond showing us his true grit by sledging it all the way! No mention of the huge amount of dog poo that’s often involved on such trips! It can get everywhere! Very impressed!!

Arctic Trucks - Top Gear Magnetic North Pole Expedition

To see how it was done and the vehicles used on the show checkout Arctic Trucks in Iceland. Cool!!

Jon caught this while on a “Walkabout”!

Found this video of the kids from a few years back :-)

Their uncle Jon (aka Kosso) knocked it up for them as some fun. Really great!


Could this be the first time someone’s fallen in love in 140 characters or less?

mobods.com demo's the power of mobile browsers with file upload capabilities!

Jon’s using his new mobods.com project to show what can be done with technology available to us now.

Great stuff! If you have a high volume traffic mobile site and you’re knocking your head wondering how to monetise it, this could certainly cover your server costs! If you want to launch your new mobile internet / WAP site or are looking to generate users quickly for a service or application that you want to target specifically to a particular device or region there is no quicker way to do this, period!

My own little infoad for something I know is a good thing for the mobile internet. Now is the time to be using it to! If you don’t even have a mobile site to advertise your services you can even create mobile pages using Admob’s system to start generating leads like you wouldn’t believe! Far better than Google and tens times cheaper to run your ad campaigns!!




Boat on the Beach

Started getting all arty with my N95 at Slapton Sands. It’s one of those beaches that’s my favorite on a really gusty overcast day.

Slightly blurred which strangely adds to the atmosphere of the shot. Didn’t do Monet any harm I guess!

Had to get away to the seaside! This is a test I took using my Nokia N95 to see how good it coped at night under moonlight. Pretty good really. Still not as good as my Mark One Eyeball, once the nightvision’s kicked in!
