Radioheads new album – pay as much as you like
Radiohead have released pre-orders for their new album… kind of. The album is a pre-release (before release in the shops), and can only be purchased online, from their website. The most interesting part? You pay as much as you want for it.
I think this is a great idea. Not only will they get publicity but i reckon they could end up earning more.
The audience for a stunt like this is bound to ...
New 9rules launches
Just a quickie to let you know that the new version of the 9rules website (codename Ali2) has been launched.
I’ve been a member of 9rules for a couple of years now and have nothing but good things to say about them. The people over there are great, and this update turns the site into even more of a community.
Aside from the visual updates there are now ...
Inspirational speech
This has done the rounds a bit lately but it really is inspirational so I had to publish it again. A US Computer Science professor, Randy Pausch has recently completed one of his last lectures (maybe THE last). He has a terminal illness, with only a few months left to live, and talks openly about how he feels. You have to see it to understand but it really is inspiring stuff. The things this man has accomplished are amazing, and ...
UnJUSTIFY text on other peoples websites
Anyone else get wound up by justified text?
It’s not always a problem but there are times when I notice it, and it makes things harder to read. Something to change the text to left justified (as it should be IMO) would be so handy… and now Joe Lencioni has come up with a simple bookmarklet, named Unjustify, that does just that.
Check it out over at ShiftingPixel.
By the way… Joe takes some pretty good photos too.
Ben’s Brother and Alice McLaughlin
I’ve been rather busy with another project recently (more on that soon) so I didn’t get a chance to post this in a timely manner. What happened is a couple of weeks ago I went to see Ben’s Brother at the Norwich Arts Centre. It was actually the groups last gig from their first headlining tour.
They’re a relatively new group – although that’s not entirely fair ...
Flash 10 – first info
The first info about the new Flash player (version 10) was released at the Adobe Max event yesterday. The features they displayed are right to left text (and other text enhancements), basic 3d abilities, and programmable effects (not dissimilar to shaders in 3d engines).
Aral Balkan (flash developer and amateur camera man) filmed the event and uploaded it to Youtube so you can see the demos for yourself.
