I was joining in identifying that there is a rush towards games being acceptable, yet at the [...] Tweet There is currently a government consultation on the future of ICT open to all to comment on. It is here. There is an online form to fill in with just 4 pages. Tweet My journey deeper into the RepRap 3d printers is continuing at a pace. This is good as it is about 14 years since I “quite fancied getting one” but didn’t have a spare £200,000 and the company I worked for couldn’t quite see the point, which at the time was fair enough. Tweet Firstly, I do not condone piracy, theft, unfair use of others work.

Tweet In this weeks Cool Stuff Collective we ventured into some very high end and future thinking technology to talk about the centuries apparent wonder material Graphene. Initially I had this on a list of things to do but was not sure if it would work. Independently from my list the shows creator @marleyman007 said why are [...] Tweet The Blippar application on smartphones is an interesting development in Augmented Reality.
