I am seriously impressed with the new BBC site. It’s a real improvement on the old one which had started to look a little cluttered.
The new site has:

  • a simple, clean layout
  • some nice gradient effects
  • great use of space
  • customisable colourscheme
  • uses Ajax or something similar which looks very slick
  • dynamic windows which you can open and close, so it’s very similar to an iGoogle page

Great job Beeb, really great job. What do you all think?

Lets face it, who doesn’t use Web Apps these days. Ok, sorry Nick, anyone apart from nick who doesn’t use Web Apps?! ;-)

From Gmail to UStream to Google Maps and Zoho, there are some stunning online applications giving excellent productivity and experience.

WebWare are having their annual survey, so simply click here and vote for your faves!

Ps3-Gt-Pack-Europe-1
With the demise of HD-DVD (of which I have the Xbox 360 player), I am looking towards the time when I will need a Blu Ray player.

March 29th is apparently bringing us lucky folks in Europe, the Gran Turismo Prologue 5 PS3 bundle, which, price-dependent has me interested…… Not only do I get a competent Bluray player but also a PS3 gaming machine as well, plus one of the most eagerly anticipated games in history.

The growing popularity of the PS3 has, I am sure, led to the demise of HD DVD. The sheer critical mass of players sold, the movie studios going with Bluray and perhaps the marketing have all helped. Certainly from the outset the reviews seemed to agree that the Bluray format provided better quality, but I went for cost, as initially Bluray players were VERY expensive.

I would be interested to hear about what you all think…

Who has a DVD player?
Who has a HD-DVD player?
Who has a Bluray player?

Lastly, what will you buy, if anything, this year and beyond?

My client has had this very special watch in for a day – it is already sold!
One of 150 in the world with an 8 day Angelus movement (over 60 years old and completely reconditioned). A stunning piece and very, very rare!

This looks pretty cool – check it out here. Allows you to navigate around your pictures, upload new ones and also look at your contact’s photos + your groups.
They have a demo and then it’s $20 – seems a little high for me and I’ll stick with the browser for the time being.
