It been a busy few weeks for me lately, first we (Doug, JP and I) have been beavering away in the background helping Rare Management with the World Championships Official Program, it's almost done and dusted with a little proofing to go. Hence the lack of updates recently on the blog and the main site.

Everyone I know has been to France for a least a month now and well me...I leave next week and it hasn't come a moment too soon...Pra Loup bound with a splattering of in between places to ride...hopefully I'll get some updates on the way.

'A beginners guide to giving a damn about climate change'

By our friends over at Airside and Mother. This piece of animation is great on so many levels.

Wired recently ran a great article about Google Maps, but perhaps the most relevant content was in the side bar...

Discovering the New World
7 glimpses into the hyperlocal future.

The Internet of Things
What if you could walk down an unfamiliar street, use your camera phone to take a picture of a building, and instantly know everything about it, from the architect to the list of tenants. The technology to make common objects clickable, like hyperlinked words on a Web site, is available today in the form of 2-D barcodes. These digital tags look like empty crossword puzzles. Users create them online, print them out, and paste them around the city. Then anyone with a phonecam can "click" on them. A program on the phone decodes the pattern and redirects the curious pedestrian to a Web page. One project, called Smartpox, is using these barcodes to build online communities that center around, for example, scavenger hunts and restaurant reviews. Members slap a barcode on a given establishment, and in-the-know passersby can get the dirt on its crème anglaise. At Semapedia.com, you can drop in any Wikipedia URL to instantly generate a 2-D barcode pointing to the corresponding entry.

Mike over at digitalagency found this via crunchnotes the other day.

It's very nicely done and pretty cool.

As Ewan over at edublogs said they look like a good bunch to work for.

Yesterday was WWDC day, or the day that Mac geeks get their knickers in a twist over what big Steve is going to announce in his Keynote speech.
As well as the OS (leopard) and iPhone announcements Apple released a beta of Safari for the PC.

This is a big deal...
