A must have plug-in for Firefox or Safari (or indeed Explorer)

I love this - it makes viewing images so much more engaging and interactive. Basically, it's an image viewer that uses your 3D card in your computer to display images from internet pages. Flickr, Google, Facebook are some of the site that are compatible. The name is Piclens, and it's good... so try it:


I would stick an image up to show you, but I'm on a 3G card and it's ripping the images to shreds!

Oh, on a Mac, it works best in Firefox - Safari isn't half as well implemented.

A couple of things that caught my eye over the weekend

Nothing too stunning, just a interesting film poster and seventies style bit of typography at a new eatery in Derby. Apologies for the quality of the shots btw - getting to grips with the Nokia N95 (more about that later).


Cool glasses advert

Isn't it always the case that the best ideas are the simplest - the wheel, the staple, the internal combustion engine. Well maybe not, but these set of print adverts for glasses really does it for me - simplicity, humour, getting the message accross. Pity I don't wear glasses though
