iPhone Tech Talk

I went to the London iPhone Tech Talk on Friday. The Apple guys asked us not to blog about it. I don’t really understand why. You can get at most of what was covered by signing up as an iPhone Developer. Still, they asked nicely, so I won’t.

Was it really worth writing this post?

Get it

Ah, November. Misty, dark too early, the wrong kind of Autumn on the railways, something going on in America, burning effigies in the park and trying to shoot down crows with rockets. Mmmm.

Also, business as usual in the land of client-agency relationships. This diagram nicely sums things up. From Giles Bowkett via Jason Froggett.

We’re having a baby girl

For the last 3 months Cathy and I have been doing a really poor job of keeping it a secret that she’s pregnant. Now that the 12 week scan says all’s well, we’re pleased to introduce you to Agent Algernon. Well, it was a good code name until we found out that he’s a girl. Clever boy ;) So, “Algernonia Fishfood Eleven Dearson”, say hello to the Internet.

Social media curve

Another diagram from David Armano that’s right on the money. I’m in danger of becoming a fan. I’m hearing that “viral” word all the time at the moment and I’m pretty certain the word “video” would be a perfectly good substitute in 99% of the cases.

Geek types

Via David Armano’s blog. I am proud to be both types of geek, clearly making me Geek 3.0. Or should that be Geek 3D. Or Geek 360. Or the Semantic Geek.

It’s all Geek to me.

Just off to vote for Pedro.

Alex Watts avoids sheep penis

Our man at Sky News valiantly eats strange Chinese delicacies (ignore the first 14 seconds of annoying advert).

Return of The Banana Splits

BBC says it’s coming back. Prepare for another generation of LSD-popping kids.

Now, where did I park my psychedelic beach buggy…
