All the sponsorship money is finally in from the Goodwood Roller Marathon. It's been a long hard job but I was so extatic when I calculated all the money we had in our account that was for the charity (bucket shakes, donations, etc.) and it worked out to the penny! I am pleased to announce that Goodwood Roller Marathon has raised £2141.48 for The NCYPE. Even better, the charity should be able to claim GiftAid on every penny which brings the grand total up to £2741.09 from the event! I could almost kid myself that I'm looking forward to organising next years! |

Everyone is doing news about the world trade center at the moment and while some of it has been very interesting to watch I haven't really felt compelled to write anything about it. Until now anyway! I found a video online that someone shot on september 11th from their home, two blocks away from the twin towers. It's an interesting look at the going on around the area as it happened and worth a look. September 11, 2001: What We Saw |

I have just come across SingShot, a fantastic site that brings karaoke up to Web 2.0 standards. Anyone can sing into their computers microphone and have their warblings mixes with the backing track totally automatically and without any downloads. Tracks can then be shared and scored by fellow participants in the common social networking way. Shame there aren't any RSS feeds though! |

Yeah, I know this isn't news but it does amaze me how quickly VHS has died! I have just sold 15 VHS videos, all pretty good movies and including two limited editions! How much did I get... £3 !! Yes 20p per video!! |

I just came across the Drake equation which attempts to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy with which we might come in contact. The thing that gets me is how low the answer is! Even if you put high estimates into the equation the answer come out in the 1000's. That's a thousand odd civilizations in our entire galaxy! I do think there is intelligent life out there but going by these sorts of estimates we are so amazingly far away from contacting them that we can forget about it for a long long time! |

I was watching BBC's Click program today which had an piece on how technology was being used in advertising to make billboards stand out [1]. The bit that got my interest was using bluetooth to connect to passing mobiles, this interview sums it up well. If the bluetooth UID of a mobile phone can be picked up by a poster as you walk past, and all these posters are networked together then how long before the information is sold to tracking agencies? |
