May 1st Reboot

Well I officially pulled down the old site for May 1st Reboot. It will be down for one week whilst I get the "new" site together. See ya on the 1st.

Luscious Laptop Deux

Yeah, so a few weeks ago I mention that there was a company (urbanretro.co.uk) that had stickers for your laptop. Well they were nice, but I couldn't justify them on something as nice a Macbook pro. Somehow think they sort of cheapen the look of the machine.

However, today I stumbled upon this bad boy! A fully laser engraved laptop. Now in my opinion, this in no way detracts from the original look and feel of the laptop. In fact, I think it is pretty damn nice.

Anyhow you can view more on the flickr site or visit engraveyourtech.com

Sexy Boy...

Holy crap time flies! Air Moon Safari is being re-released for its 10th anniversary.

Some people are just born to trade.

Though cliché, and one of the oldest tricks in the game (the talking baby), the E*trade baby ad from the Superbowl super commercial time, is probably one of the funniest ads I've seen. I think it has to do with the VO more than anything else. His voice is just "real" to me. Being originally from America, I feel like I know that guy.

Geo mapping

A few years back I worked as a graphic designer/exhibit designer for a natural history museum. During that time a gain a fascination with maps and geo-topo art. And being a fan of google earth and maps.google.com, it was pleasant surprise when I stumbled across this site yesterday. Mygeoposition has several tools available. Including:

• Geocoding of worldwide addresses
• Finetuning of the position using a drap & drop marker
• Automated creation of geo-metatags for websites and weblogs
• Automated creation of geotags for websites, weblogs and images
• and much much more....

If you are into geo-positioning or need to have specific map content for a client, it is definitely worth checking out.
