The final batches of Polaroid film pass their expiry date on September 30 2009. When these supplies either spoil or run out, the world will lose something special. These are the last days [...]

beyond the peleton

By Andy | Published: August 21, 2009

Cervelo set up a ‘test’ team for this current season. Are they the only bicycle company to own a team??

Huxley, Not Orwell, Was Right About “The Future” (i.e: Today)

By Chungaiz | Published: August 18, 2009

Related to the notes I’m keeping on The Future Of Media, here’s a great cartoon strip by Stuart McMillan based on words by Neil Postman – as featured in the book “Amusing Ourselves To Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Showbusiness”. I reckon Postman’s book would go nicely on your reading list with “Everything Bad [...]

1930s-40s, In Colour

By Chungaiz | Published: August 14, 2009

The US Library of Congress is collecting colour photographs on Flickr that show the 1930s – 1940s in colour.

Personalised Magazines

The internet has plenty of great recipe sharing sites. Awesome, because we love food at TheScrapBook. Cutting data by blog, photo, ingredient, occasion, time of day… if you could be bothered I’m sure you’d have some truly awesome food sites. Though neither of these quite do the potnetial justice, we tend to stick to Tastespotting [...]
