Radiolab Live: Apocalyptical and Amazing
I’ve heard all their podcasts—so expected the typical Radiolab brilliance—but this video of the Radiolab Live tour is amazing. I heard the audio version on Sunday and just watched the video. If you have any interest in science and/or art you must see this. Robert Krulwich
John’s Background Switcher awesome on Windows 8.1 #AU2013
John’s Background Switcher is one of my favourite Windows Utilities. I found it after stumbling across his post about a search for new small car (which turned out to be a Fiat 500)! It randomly picks images from my Flickr or local machine and creates a new desktop image,

I couldn’t get to Autodesk University 2013 but won’t miss out entirely thanks to technology; both virtual and real. Autodesk University Online AU Online makes some of the the formal side of AU (Keynotes, Innovation Forums and some classes) available to all from the comfort of your office,

My Dad discovered Flim & the BB’s before I did. Probably in a Hifi store as they were popular demo disc in the early days of Digital. They were one of the first to use pure Direct Digital DDD technology on CDs. I’m sure the opening track of

Ever seen something on the road and thought; ‘If only there was a cop to see this’? I’ve done the *555 thing a few times but only to report dull stuff like road debris hazards. Recently I was driving home through suburban Sunnyvale and caught up with a car
Traffic Light Thought - Fiat’s 850 vs Mitsi Mirage
This listing on trademe reminded me of a fine little Fiat didn’t own and only ever drove a few times. The price seems a bit OTT but if as good as looks in the photos would be in my “When I win Lotto Garage”, if I had won Lotto.
Apple news expected, AutoCAD for Mac surprise!
I’ll leave covering the Apple announcement to the many iFan blogs other than to say it was more a story of refinement than surprise for iPad, nice for OS X Mavericks upgrade to be free on the desktop. What I wasn’t expecting was a new AutoCAD for Mac
