Blog about technology related things

My son is keen on anything techology related and he reads Netguides and PC mags to keep uptodate with all the latest gadgets. (so he can brag about knowing more than me) :-p

He tells me about laptops and iphones and drops big hints about his birthday and Christmas coming soon.

Laptops seem to be becoming more common than home PC's. For every four laptops sold only one PC is sold. I suppose one of the big advantages of laptops is that they are portable so that they can be used anywhere. Also, if you are in a hotel or cafe a laptop can be connected up to wifi for using the internet.

So maybe one day we might get a laptop!

Flickr Mashups

While doing week 4 exercises, I found a Flickr mashup created by 'Jim Bumgardner'. It's a colour fields experimental colour pickr and if you want to have a look at it just go to http://www.krazydad.com/colrpickr/. On the website you can adjust how bright or dark you want the colours and the pictures change according to the colour you have chosen.
