Minute44 - Dan Schonhaar

So I went to Sheffield with Rick on Saturday to get some coffee and meet up with Ash. It actually turned into a pretty cool impromptu geek-up with Mark coming along with Ash and then Chris joining us in town shortly after. Here are some photographs I took using my iTelephone. Enjoy.

Just a quick one today in response to Andy Clarke’s tweet about strangers on a train wanting to play with his iPad. It got me thinking about how quick we web people are to label average Joe as stupid because he or she isn’t as quick to pick up technological stuff as we are. First, though, a couple of points. I hold Mr. Clarke in the highest esteem. I’ve followed his work for years and even seen him speak about his craft. As such this isn’t a personal dig, it was simply his comment that lead me to write this. Secondly, I know I am guilty of doing this; I’m not saying I’m innocent. Hell, anyone who knows me knows damn well I am the most judgemental and cynical of bastards. I need to change, too.

This weekend I watched some movies. Get a cup of tea and have a read of my mini reviews. Also, let me know if you like this format because I think it could be a pretty decent way to post in the future.

Just for fun, I want to give you my personal mobile phone history. Good or bad; this is every mobile I’ve ever owned.

Twenty-six years and seven sequels later, Wes Craven’s most recognisable horror creation is re-booted. This re-imagining of the classic horror tale has been on my radar for some time now as I was a huge fan of the 1984 original starring Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon and Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. When I heard that Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach from Watchmen) was set to play Krueger in the reboot I was even more excited to see what could be done with Craven’s over-worked baby.

If you’re an iPhone user then you’ve probably at least heard about the Tesco clubcard app. The simple app displays a scannable barcode that you can use instead of your full sized wallet clubcard or mini, car keys version. Great, right? Well yeah, for what it’s worth it’s pretty good (even though it only scans on the newest in-store barcode readers). But I think they’ve missed several tricks that would have made it an absolute blinder of an app.
