You may have noticed that there hasn’t been new on this blog for a few months now, mainly because I don’t have time to publish an entry every time I see something that interests me.

But I still like to blog so have a new site running with a better url: blog.tomsteel.co.uk which I hope to update at least once a week with my own thoughts and words on what I find on the web. Please visit and sign up to the RSS feed to be kept up to date.

Thanks for reading,

Tom

“Now I know that a bucket of plastic soldiers only costs about £5 max but I still can’t help loving this £149 bowl. Ok, so it’s more form than function, but it so appeals to the Toy Story-lover in me.”

I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I’ll be back later this evening to pick it up.

“A cup of tea or coffee. A probiotic drinking yoghurt or something else that can be glugged down very quickly. I see people on the London Underground all time just drinking coffee or juice or Red Bull or Coke. A few people munch on a croissant or a pastry from a coffee shop. The odd person here or there might be lucky enough to have a bacon roll or sarnie.”

“In fact, it almost looks like We Heart It was created by someone who was tired of waiting for FFFFOUND to open up and thought, “I’ll just build my own…and I’ll make it better, too!” As with FFFFOUND, items are tagged as being liked via a browser bookmarklet (which does not work in IE, by the way). However, where FFFFOUND focuses only on image bookmarking, We Heart IT allows you to mark videos from Vimeo or YouTube as well.”

“I’ll admit I was hugely sceptical. It just sounds like some twee, middle England, poncey London, greenwashing fest. After all, anyone can sell this sort of stuff with no packaging.”
