Watch a robot draw a photo of Charlie in sand. Just one of the amazing things in the Chrome Web Lab exhibition at the Science Museum in London.

Playing around with iPhone camera
I’m currently working some weekends all alone in a 17-storey office building. This is the view down the open stairwell from the top floor, taken with an iPhone 4 using the Pro HDR app.
iPhone blogging is here
I finally have an iPhone, so I can take photos and post to ridey.net from just about anywhere. Of course I could already do that with the iPod, minus the photos. So here’s a pic I took this evening. If you can see it and are reading this, it works. Maybe, just maybe, this will put new life into this sadly neglected blog.
Our town’s on Google Street View
Go on, take a tour. See if you can spot anyone you know. Watch the seasons change from winter to summer in the click of a mouse. But I’m not telling you where our house is. And note to Google, this isn’t Redhill.
Going mobile
We’ve just launched our mobile edition of ridey.net. Check us out on your iPhone, iPod touch, Android or even your BlackBerry.
Attacked by a Snow Leopard
So against my better judgement, I decided to upgrade the newer Mac mini (which I’d only just got this blog moved to after months of technical grief) to Snow Leopard. Of course it broke the blog (MySQL to be precise). I just can’t be bothered trying to fix it right now so I’ve moved the blog back to the old Mac mini, which, eventually, managed to fix itself, sort of. Confused? I know I am!
Grrrrrrrrr!
So exactly one week after I moved this blog from the old Mac mini to
the new Mac mini and got it working again after two months of head scratching, Apple releases a software update that fixes the PHP bug that had caused the whole wrong date/broken blog fiasco in the first place. Thanks, Steve!
