Papercraft 1966 Batmobile
What more is there to say? We’ve not tried it, but the results look pretty impressive – the original 1966 Batmobile made from paper…

Hello Kitty Mug
I wanted some pics of a few things I’d bought while we were in Birmingham. I used the black paper the mug was wrapped in, set the camera to control a remote flash, and hand-held my SB-800 flash. I used an Apple Store bag wrapped over the flash head to diffuse the light, and left the built-in flash to fire, but at -2.0 stops so it only filled in a little. Turned our reasonably well:

Oh my oh my oh my. Doug’s really rocking the productivity pr0n in this post. I defy you to read it without feeling tempted for a visit to your local office supplies place…
And Michael? If this kicks off another session of filofax vs moleskine vs PDA, I suspect you won’t be alone this time….

CommentsiPod Touch Internet via Nokia Phone
The one reason I didn’t want an iPod Touch is that there’s no way to connect to the Internet when you don’t have WiFi. Relying entirely on WiFi is probably fine in San Francisco, but not so great in Tiverton.
It doesn’t have Bluetooth, so connecting through my mobile phone was out. Until I happened on another answer – turn the phone into a WiFi hotspot. Here’s a post that explains how it’s done. You need a little app that turns the phone (works on lots of phones, not just my Nokia) into a WiFi router. Make sure you change the settings to make it secure, or other people can cost you a lot of money.
After that, run the app on the phone, and you can hide it in the background to leave the phone locked if you prefer. Let the iPod connect to the phone’s WiFi connection, and it thinks it as ‘real’ WiFi.
Not as convenient and easy as it should be, but it works, and now we have iPod Touches that can connect to the Internet wherever we are.
CommentsiPod Touches
We are now happy owners of two iPod Touches – I went to Exeter’s Apple store yesterday to pick then up as Sam made her way back from Birmingham. So far, I’m very impressed. It’s a great little PDA, does games well, syncs nicely with the Mac apps, and it’s an excellent little browsing machine. With eReader, it’s also a very nice eBook reader.
I’ve had a lot of fun with it already, and I haven’t even pulled those white earbuds out of their wrapper yet.
