What a great follow on from my previous rant on mobile UI - go read Steve Jobs’ overview of what he thinks of the current breed of mobile phones and how fun they are (not!) to use, and what Apple have done about it.
This *has* to be the most lust-worthy device on the planet at [...]

Have you seen the Yahoo! Go 2.0 interface yet? I have, although only on my laptop as their mobile beta is currently full… I’m on the waiting list.
Yahoo! are very excited about this interface. Here’s how they describe it:

People have been talking about Twitter for a while now, and at first it held little appeal to me. I mean, exactly how publicly do we *really* need to live. Are people *really* interested in that level of detail in each others lives?
Well… maybe, maybe not. But I’m finally going to give Twitter a proper [...]

Crazy Egg is designed to help you continually test and improve your site.
They do [...]

So, I went to the Girl Geeks Dinner in London last evening. It was an interesting night. The first thing you need to know if you’re thinking of going, is that it’s not a dinner. It’s drinks and a talk. But it’s still good.
I went there knowing absolutely no one, and ended up meeting a [...]

Is blogging a patriotic sport? Do you blog for your countrymen? Do you hunt down your countryman’s blogs? Are other countries experiencing a small explosion of search engines and indexes that help them find blogs of their country in the same way that we are here in Australia?
I don’t know… it all just seems a [...]

It’s been a long time coming and, just like Google Calendar, it comes completely out of the blue.
Hooray! Finally we have Australian Google Maps.
Reported today in the Sydney Morning Herald.

So, one minute you’re enthusiastically selling toffees at recess at school to raise money for Fred Hollows Foundation, and the next minute you’re thirty something and can hardly be bothered to vote.
