No really, I have… It’s part one, (if you ignore my random posts from the weekend) of my uber-blogathon attempt to catch up with all my content from the past six weeks…
So, without further ado, here’s the first batch of footage that I’ve managed to throw together…
Hope you like it and, if you make it to the end…
The whole thing rocks in at about 11mins approx and it gets quite geeky in places 😉
…please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
What with this being my first proper attempt at this whole video-blogging malarky and y’know, all feedback is very, very welcome!
…I’m off to Helsinki to talk Social at Nokia with some of the best in the business.
If you’re one of the lucky few who are going, I guess I’ll see you there.
If not, watch this space – no doubt I’ll write some of it up 🙂
More to follow…
First official ‘proper’ post of the new blog site, AHOY!
How to make a Minority Report-esque interface using your Nintendo Wii!
(by yours truly and geekyouup aka Richie Hyndman of Mippin fame)
🙂
Now, this all happened thanks to the awesome social media world of the internet, how?
Well the thing is, I (along with a few others) like to organise Mario Kart Wii competitions over Twitter.
So far so Nintendo Geek…
But ‘Wadds‘ – aka Stephen Waddington, Managing Director of Rainer PR – spotted this regular occurrence and decided to share that he’d given up playing games on his Wii and how he now is all about creating something like this.
“Wow, cool!”
I took that link, threw it at Richie and he came straight back to me and said:
“Come over Sunday, let’s do it!”
ROCK. ON.
So – Big love to Johnny Chung Lee for showing us the way – and also bonus props to Stephen for giving us some blog love first thing this morning!
Nice work all round,
Cheers.

Morning all, it’s 930am down here in ‘sunny’ Glastonbury. I’m yet to venture outside the tent but I’m assured it’s actually ‘not that bad’… But hey! You can’t come to Glastonbury and moan about the weather! It’s all part of the fun 🙂
So, here’s a quick rundown of what I’ve seen so far:
In that order..
Vampire weekend were fun. First dance of the day that was. The Ting Tings took AGES to setup and started half hour late so we only stayed a little while as we wanted to get back for Lupe Fiasco (political as hell but good with it). The Fun Lovin’ Criminals were damn cool, as expected and as for Xavier Rudd?
Well let’s just say I was pleasantly surprised…
And I WILL be buying his album when I get back.
Then, at long last, it was time for Kings of Leon…
They. Were. Amazing.
Similarly to Arcade Fire last year, these guys have completely made my festival..
Rock.
Greetings from Glastonbury!
We’ve just been to see the awesome Vampire Weekend (although for some reason I refer to them as The Wombats in the second video below), and They were actually very good!
Then onto dancing at ‘Guilty Pleasures’ – 70s tunes – and later?
Fratellis, Editors and THE KINGS OF LEON!
Yay for Vampire Weekend!
…we’re on our way!

EDIT – As promised, here’s the video:
EDIT 2 – Thanks to the immediacy of this post – I ended up appearing on The BBC’s ‘Pods & Blogs’ programme. I’ll see if I can get my hands on the audio and put if up for you…
Whee! 🙂
Alright folks,
Happened to be passing through London town yesterday and, whilst I was Jaikuing away, my new friend Steve from S60Blogger requested some photos of the BRAND NEW Nokia Flagship Store on Regent Street…
These I took and, after eventually uploading them to my Flickr (via ShoZu – my new favourite app) for the world to see, I thought I’d post some here… see below
WOOP WOOP!
And also, to show that there’s no favouritism, I also followed through on Stefan from Intomobile‘s request for a QIK video tour too!
Big love to Ricky Cadden, Symbian-Guru, who reported on these FIRST over at SMS Text News and then again over at Symbian Guru.
Top Bombin’ Chap!
