The Malmaison in Oxford is a former prison now converted into a luxury hotel. The prison has occupied the site since medieval times and was only closed to inmates in the 80’s, although judging from some of the “guests” perhaps some of the “lifers” couldn’t be moved. That’s a joke by the way… The hotel comes highly recommended and has excellent sound proofing.
Have you encountered this yet? If you regularly upload to YouTube using any copyrighted music you may have done. The amusing thing about my particular “infringement” is that the material I was uploading was actually on behalf of Freemantle Media – so I actually had the right to publish the material. Interestingly, when I tried to post a little video I made recently it was slightly less polite and stripped the music completely. Anyway, as ever someone on the Internet […]
Easter is almost over and it’s time to kill those pesky eggs off, otherwise they just sit around looking at you and making you nervous. I never trusted that one eyed fella anyway, I’m sure he was up to something..
Starbucks not content with filling every high street with their infernal faux establishments have released plans to build on the moon. Above is an artists rendition of how they imagine this will look.

I’m going to kill them soon, they’ve been looking at me funny and I don’t like it…. The one on the left is definitely suspicious.
Those of you who can remember 110 film cameras, Super-8 and all the other forms of fallible film technology will find great joy in the iPhone application that is Hipstamatic – a wonderfully implemented bit of software that emulates not only the looks but the technological feel of using old school film technology – pick a slightly questionable film stock a suitably dodgy lens and a questionable film process and see what comes out of the mix. Random chance can […]
Rediscover or depending on you age, discover, the era of semi random photography that was the 70’s and 80’s with the Hipstamatic camera app for the iPhone. There’s different crap lenses to choose from, rubbish film stocks, cranky flashes and a whole array of ways to make your photos look interestingly weird. I love it. More stuff soon.
So £200,000 and two years later Simon Singh finally ‘wins’ his case against the British Chiropractic Association – a ‘medical’ organisation so distrusting of it’s members abilities that its only solution to any criticism levelled against it is litigation. Whatever happened to scientific debate one may ask. We may consider this to be victory for common sense but you have to wonder at what cost. Putting the literal cost aside and if I’m to understand the papers correctly Mr Singh […]
