HTML 5 can’t come soon enough for some of us although I suspect there’s still going to be a gap in capabilities between what it can do and what Flash can do. Flash is evil. Guillermo Esteves is now famous. He decided to explore just how wide that gap might be. His project was to […]
The Adidas goes Star Wars ad
I don’t have much time for trainer junkies, or sports wear, or, well, sports in general – but Star Wars! Star Wars is another issue. So far I’ve resisted posting pictures of either Star Wars baseball caps or Star Wars shoes but this Star Wars / adidas Originals TV ad is too good to ignore. […]

Kudos to Mondo Comico. The Nottingham gaming and comic shop made the news today with a feature in This Is Nottingham. Rather than endure the standard press poking fun at roleplaying and the Simpson’s fed ‘Comic Guy’ stereotype Mondo Comico walked away from the encounter smelling of roses. The hero of our story is David […]

Dalek Twitter avatar, Cthulhu Twitter avatar and more
There’s no other way to describe these Twitter avatars from Ape Lad other than “cooool!” They’re simply fantastic. I’ve been following Ape Lad on Flickr for years now.
