What if this could spell check you as well? “No no, you’re using the wrong De Stijl building again!” that would be high-larious… or maybe I’m just easily amused. Via Core 77.

Maybe we're just too boring for the truth?
I learnt a new expression the other day: polite fiction which is where “all participants are aware of a truth, but to avoid conflict or embarrassment, all pretend to believe in some alternate version of events”. And now I’ve been using Jaiku (in the least optimal way I’m the first to admit it, as I… Continue reading Maybe we're just too boring for the truth?
Tasty Thinking take 2 (because Blogger sucks)
Ok so after a first introduction I’m retracting and making a second announcement: Dave and I concluded that Blogger sucks and put together Tastythinking on WordPress instead.

I don't need to lie anymore, I have Jaiku ; )

You can locate other wifi-enabled devices in your surroundings and send them songs or pictures. (something iPod doesn’t have yet i believe). Obviously this… Continue reading Music sharing in Zune

Anyone/thing out there?
There’s something strange going on whenever identity2.0 is mentioned these days, or more precisely when we speak of identity online in the future. It seems to me that we used to ask ourselves whether the person behind the screen name was really who they are, but now we seem to be questioning whether they’re there… Continue reading Anyone/thing out there?
Milan!
Great milanese graffiti Originally uploaded by alexandra666. Yes, hanging out in “la bella città ” today with the dotdotdot kids and back in London tomorrow. I’m off to see if they’ve stripped the Duomo yet but mainly try to capture some of the great paper-based graffiti that animate the city everywhere… Ciao!
