Now that’s a donut. Visit Randy’s.

Ok, I FINALLY get why del.icio.us is so good.  Took a while, but spending a week recuperating from a back injury allows for more webtime that is probably healthy!  I apologize to everyone rolling your eyes at me for coming to this belated realization.  del.icio.us rocks.

PJ’s Glass House will be open to the public this spring!

Meet Sandy

A niche of Internet Culture as discovered and explained by Anil Dash

To explain my rather long absence from this site - I will simply say that STELLA BELLA SANDMEIER-STEELE was born 31 May 2006. (Her official due date was TODAY). She weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces (or 3.02Kg), 51 cm long and has been keeping us busy every since. Postings will likely be even more sporadic then they were before - but I’ll soon get back into the swing of things. Pics of the babe over on the flickr account - click the thumbnails at the right to head over there.

brett just posted this over on his resarch site - but we were giggling while perusing the pics - so i thought i’d post what would surely be George’s favourite if he could understand and register images on a computer monitor.

This is so funny, I just had to post it. Reading the New York Times this morning I found a bizarre article about a new form of Polo. Traditional polo is of course played while riding a horse. Little did i know that there exists also Elephant Polo (you guessed it, riding an elephant) and now Segway Polo.

WHEN Alex Ko and his companions took up polo, they made some subtle changes to the sport once enjoyed by ancient Mongol warriors, who are said to have played with the severed heads of their enemies.

Mr. Ko and his friends opted for a 6-inch-diameter Nerf ball.

And instead of horses, they chose to ride Segways, the self-balancing transportation devices first developed as a short-distance alternative to the automobile.

“It’s similar to real polo,” Mr. Ko said, “but without the manure.”

Then again the article was published on April 1st so could be it’s all a fool’s game.

Can’t even begin to track back the links that got me here, but have a look - it’s worth it.

Here’s the result of our first game of Go. We are not entirely convinced of our technique and maneuvers (or even the results) - but it was interesting nevertheless.

Just found this site today following a series of links that initially started out at Flickr. Antenna is an interesting blog with lots of great references and links to other obscure and not so obscure sources of information and design.

Received Go the other day - and the instructions alone will take several days to read. Managed to beat a few online programs today - which unfortunately is an indication of near impossible programming for this game rather than my stunning skills. Will prove to be entertaining i’m sure.

I’ve found these sites most useful for donating to the tsunami fund. There are so many to choose from it was hard to pick - but here are mine. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and Direct Relief International which deals mostly with providing medical aid and supplies. Also Google has a good list.

Anyone want great hosting service contact Pavel Ushakov at Livingdot. Super Great. Responses within minutes, fast, efficient, friendly. What more do you need?

Bjarke Ingels just called me giving me 3 seconds notice to get to an awards ceremony at RIBA. His office, PLOT has just won a prize from AR+D for the Maritime Youth House in Copenhagen.

I have now mastered the art of sending a picture message from my phone to my moblog. You’ll see a splendid image of my street at the fromform moblog.

This site is best seen with Firefox. I’ve made a few changes recently which have thrown the whole thing off in Explorer. Still trying to sort it out.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.
