Today I am doing a review of Philadelphia In Love, the new video compilation from The Dead Milkmen. It's a great DVD with a neat history of the DM's on video including their huge MTV hit Punk Rock Girl and you can really see the steps of progression, in quality, professionalism and lengthening hair and waists. There...

Two separate innovations are about to take the humble monitor to a new dimension. The Fog Screen has been developed in Finland and used a dry mist as a suface for projection. The other system from Heliodisplay from IO2 Tecnology is even more interesting as it uses air and has interactive properties. It does not use...

Sales of Rock music have beaten the pop market for the first time ever - 'Rock's on a Roll' Evening Standard. Rock has 31% of the market and pop only 30%. The dramatic decline of pop is being blamed on the file swapping hordes of the Internet but I think that would have hit the Rock listening fraternity just as hard...

Whe David Blain hit our small screens I was fascinated and intrigued. Even when the spoiler program came out and showed how he did his tricks I still thought they were good. Now he is trying to emulate Harry Houdini by doing huge stunts and it just doesn't grab my interest. When he announced his latest stunt,...

Having seen the Webb Brothers do a superb set on Wednesday I hiked over to their website (or is that webbsite?) to check them out and discovered that they have a single out tommorow - Mrs Moriarty - which is great. I also went to Amazon and preordered their new album, out on the 22 September, so I must be becoming a...

Paula and I went to the OKGO gig at the Electric Ballroom in Camden tonight courtesy of Xfm - I won the tickets on the Adam and Joe show last Saturday. We missed the first band entirely having sat in the pub for too long, but arrived just after the Webb Brothers had started their set - and we are sooooo glad we...

Toyota have put on sale the Worlds first self parking car. You drive alongside a parking space, stop and press a button - the car then manouvers itself into the space! Fantastic! Full story over at CNN. Doesn't look much but then it will be mainly purchased for the wife, won't it... What happens in 10 years when the...

If, like me, you design web sites this is possibly one of the most important books I have ever read about the subject - Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman.

Adam and Joe are sitting in for Ricky on XFM today and are doing a very good show so far, considering. And they do actually look like hobbits. Update Well it got even better, and to top that I won tickets to see OKGO in Camden next week!

We have had images from Dad as well as our own so there is a good mix. They can be found in the Gallery.
