Original Concept- SO.net

We all love Social Networking sites (Your using one right now) and if there’s one thing we all love the most about them its their ability to connect with each other to create new interesting Mashups (If you don’t know what a Mashup is go read this informative article on Guardian Unlimited)

So it begs the question why not create a Super Mashup? A website that would combine all the most popular Web2.0/Ajax websites into one easy to use, And above all useful website.

Thats where SO.net or Social.Networking comes in.

Original Concept- Progressive Art

-Original Concept is my new Column showcasing some of my most inspired ideas-

If there’s one thing i would like to be known as when i grow up its an Artist, But I have one problem.
Im not amazing good at anyone thing, I mean im a more than capable Photographer but im screwed if i know the difference between ISO and EV. Im a dab hand at Watercolours but i wouldn’t know where to start if i had to cover a 4ft Canvas. And the same goes for Music, Books & Films. But what if i could harness all my slightly unimpressive talents to create a piece of Art that’s not only interesting but also fresh and unique.

Today’s Photos all come from the same Photographer and his name is.. YACHT.

Chimpware prefers… Steam

When I first threw the idea of a chimpware prefers… about Steam at Si his initial reaction was “Against what?” But this simple question actually helps to illustrate my point. Steam is THE game delivery system around now. Sure it’s not the most used, but it is the best. Si’s question shows just how far Valve are ahead of the pack, what other delivery system around can compare to Valve’s masterpiece? Well EA have “EA downloader” on which you can buy stuff like the Special Forces expantion for BF2. This works just like steam when you buy the game too, a bit like a p2p network, you can turn off your computer and continue the download from where you left off.

I bought a PSP when they first came out in the UK in September 2005. It was good for a while, Lumines and Burnout were fun, and there were a few games I was looking for on the horizon, such as GTA and Infected. I could [almost] (but not quite) say that in the month of September, I enjoyed my PSP more than my Nintendo DS (blasphemy!). I even forked out a substantial amount of money to buy a 1Gb memory card for it, where I loaded up new maps for Wipeout Pure and put music on. However, once GTA came out, everything changed. I now dislike the PSP for several reasons:
