It’s only fair to pass on the warning from the Vimeo page - Draplin uses some quite strong language to reinforce his point!

Cheap always cost you more in the end. That’s why I can’t afford to buy cheap. Can you?

Unfortunately you have to be using the web interface to access all of the sharing features, which is less than ideal, especially when you consider that sharing a file in Dropbox is as easy as adding it to the public folder and using the contextual menu to grab the URL.

Apple need to release an update ASAP to enable these features in the Finder (and Windows Explorer). Then, and only then will the iDisk become a useful feature to the majority of MobileMe users.

See more of it over at Carscoop.

I’m off to fire up Xcode and start playing with the iPhone SDK. Feeling inspired!

Tools should be enablers, not disablers.

Agreed. Via AisleOne

Dropular turns out to be clever little bugger too, and knows to watch out for Flickr’s Spaceball.gif image when you pinch from Flickr!

Social media is people. People talk about stuff. The end.

Being noticed is not the same as being remarkable. Running down the street naked will get you noticed, but it won’t accomplish much. It’s easy to pull off a stunt, but not useful.

Never mind my earlier post; if you want to get rich, don’t live in Britain!

Feelings, Mistakes, and Butts. These are things we dare not bare in public.

Please understand that this is an extremely special piece of furniture, of exceptional quality and design, it is not for everyone by a very very long way and can only be afforded by the lucky few of us with exceptional wealth.

You need to watch the videos to truly appreciate the fantastic design of the Capstan Table.

If you say yes to the above, then Satellite is for you.

Whilst I moved away from flash a long time ago in favour of web standards, flash can still be a great tool for building websites, as long as it is used correctly, and this is a fantastic example of flash being put to good use. Rather than being just a container for his portfolio, Jonathan’s site is a voyage of intrigue and discovery in itself.

So on the left hand I am giving You Tube some bad press, on the right I am suggesting you consume these high-quality links.

Ever wanted to know how they built Stonehenge and the like? This guy looks like he has some answers.

You know it happens; it’s part of modern society, but this shit is crazy.

The good news is that according to Paul, we won’t have long to wait to find out.

And don’t forget, “the gruffness of the pirates voice can be approximated by taking a large drink of rum just prior to speech”.

So in an effort to begin and streamline my rather bloated first atempt at modifying K2, the slideshow is the first thing to go, so expect to see a few experiments as I play with the Flickr API to find some neat ways of displaying my photos.

Whilst on the CGChannel, I also came across another interview, this time with Scott Robertson, whose work you may recognise from the film Minority Report.

Both definitely worth your time!
