a round up of sci-fi stuff

I’m liking Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Especially Cameron the friendly Terminator – “I’m a bitch whore”. After the dreadfulness of T3, nice to see a return to form even without Arnie. Some good community content on that site too to extend the experience. However, Flash Gordon on Sci Fi is just shit. I evenContinueContinue reading “a round up of sci-fi stuff”

visualisations and digital map mash ups

Regular readers will know I love a good graphic so I thought I’d share the above as a cool example of displaying data trends, this example being for US box office. Originally found on Boing Boing.

Only a few things today as I’ve been on a couple days hols (more on this when I get chance) and am now officially pitch bitch for the rest of this week. Flood 2.0. With the UK drowning through unseasonably high water fall of late, here’s a mash up of Google maps with news reportsContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 08.08.07”

Logo a-go-go! After the fiasco of that logo, comes more news that the banking institution known as Barclays is highly likely to change their logo for fear of offending the Dutch if the proposed merger with ABN Amro takes place. While the logo causes less visual intolerance than the 2012 thing, it does strike aContinueContinue reading “stuff and things 19.06.07”
