I would go absolutely nuts for this piece of equipment. My gear-senses are going off the radar just looking at it. Apparently it’s a working condition, Tandberg TD-20A 4-track reel-to-reel recorder from the 1980s. It’s currently going on eBay for £399.99 or best offer. It also comes with 30-or-so tape reels — I love how [...]
If you haven’t heard about the UK government’s shortsighted, ridiculous and widely-opposed plans to disconnect web users suspected of illegal downloading, then it’s worth getting yourself educated. A petition asking the Prime Minister to amend/drop the bill has been started at the official Downing Street website, and so far it has almost 30,000 signatories. Add [...]
This is really cool: a Flash-world that zooms you through a series of interlocking paintings. Very psychedelic. To get an idea of how they did it, check out the still images from the first Zoomquilt. Mad props to all the artists involved.

I just installed Minimalist Gmail, a sweet Firefox extension by Matt Constantine which nices up your Google Mail interface. Now where’s that Google Wave invite…

This incredible video — taken from of a skier’s point-of-view camera as he goes through an avalanche and subsequent rescue — is doing the rounds of the internet just now. More from The Guardian:
The video captures a 1,500-foot fall in little over 20 seconds. The camera goes crazy, flickering from blue to white to black [...]
Ben’s Prison Bl0g is an eye-opening journal written by Ben Gunn, a student, activist, and longtime inmate of the British prison system. Ben pleaded guilty to the murder of a friend at age 14 and has been “wandering through the prison system for 30 years” since. His posts deal with issues like solitary confinement, prisoner [...]
WirelessKeyView is a free and nifty little program that recovers lost (or forgotten) WEP/WPA keys for wireless networks. I discovered it when I realised I couldn’t connect to wifi with my new laptop because I had no idea what my password was (56 character chains are easy to forget!).
It also gave me my neighbour’s [...]
Phoning It In is a devilishly-good idea for a radio show: get loads of great artists to perform down your phone line every week. The music is all live, lo-fi, and the artist selection is always tip top. Some of my favourites are the shows by Diane Cluck, David Garland and WHY!, and I’m listening [...]
Inbflat.net is easily the coolest collaborative web music project I can remember seeing. Each time I play with it I get a completely different sound. Go on have some fun.
