New Media Junkie

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Friend and colleague, Mark Steadman is a self confessed new media junkie. As a result he has brought together the website ‘New Media Junkie’ which is the home of collective thoughts, silly bollocks and generally interesting emails that are circulating at the time. Mark is a big fan of radio and ever since he was a young lad he has had high aspirations of becoming a radio disc jockey. Unfortunately he is condemned to a life of developing websites. We both must have done something hideously awful in a previous life to have not only been lumped together but to be thrown into such a frustrating sport as hunt the error message problem. Fix the bloody CSS issue in Safari or dream-crusher (Marks’ fond name for FireFox) is another we while away the hours together to. As a creative outlet, the brand spanking NMJ podcast has been born. What a little cracker it is, I have almost forgiven Mark for erasing material we had recorded for the first episode. Mark is however still chastising himself. Nonetheless, Mark has pulled together a cracker of an introduction of what he has to offer. I will however be featuring on the next episode and hopefully (if he will have me) make this a regular occurrence.

The BIG Picture

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Stefan Lewandowski and Jon Bounds have launched In The Big Picture today. I was very lucky to get a sneak preview at The Birmingham Bloggers Meetup a week or so a go.

The website makes clever use of the Flickr API. Simply login with your Flickr account details or create a new account from the In The Big Picture website to take part.
