Posted by: Owen on Thursday, 13th Sep, 2007
It’s interesting to see that there is now a TV series where blogging is one of the main elements. Gossip Girl on The CW is a series premiering in a few days created by Josh Schwartz, (same bloke who created The O.C.). The format is narrated by a seemingly omniscient character, “Gossip Girl” (narrated by [...]

Great news from our friends down at Joost, they’re preparing to go live with the service over the next few months.

Koala Webcam
Posted by: Owen on Saturday, 31st Dec, 2005
I was messing around with EarthCam’s Top 25 Webcams of 2005 and came across the webcam set up by Riverbanks Zoo on their Koala enclosure. I was very impressed at the quality of the image (looks great on full screen) and the technology used, where the koala movements are tracked so that if it moves [...]

Multifunction box
Posted by: Owen on Wednesday, 23rd Jun, 2004
I want one of these !!!
Not quite the first of these (Panasonic’s DMR-E150V claims that title), but Sharp has announced a video recorder that puts VHS, DVD, and a hard disk in the same box, along with a satellite decoder. The hard disk is moderately sized, at 80GB versus the 400GB at which Sharp’s VCR-less [...]
Your 5 minutes of fame
Posted by: Owen on Sunday, 31st Aug, 2003
