Bing Twitter Maps Rock

This week I’m having a great time in Seattle meeting various Microsoft colleagues including Major Nelson (aka Larry Hryb) from Xbox fame and Steve Clayton who reports back on all things ‘New’ from Microsoft. Should be fun.

Meanwhile I’ve just discovered Bing Twitter Maps, so you can keep track of all my tweets (amongst other folk) below. This tool could really add to storytelling online so have a gander yourself.  

More updates soon.

Using Kinect to make a music video

It looks like the launch of Kinect last year is sparking a new way of making music videos. It’ll be an interesting trend to follow as we’ve already seen how film makers are using the iPhone to create great lo-fi vids. I’m now Echo Lake’s official number one fan so good luck to them. 

 

*And another one has already sprung up here – this time from Moullinex. Thanks to Steve Clayton for pointing this one out.

Windows Phone 7: The Battle for Hoth

I knew as soon as I loaded the THQ Star Wars game on my Windows Phone that I was going to get addicted to it. With so much snow falling in the UK at the moment it’s pretty apt. I’ve not seen any AT-ATs in Sevenoaks yet but I’ll know exactly what to do after completing this game.

I couldn’t find a clip in English – but you’ll get the idea. I might even ask for The Empire Strikes Back DVD to be on my Xmas list this year. ‘Luke, I am your father..’ WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!! And when you first saw that opening battle scene on Hoth, amazing.

I am a true child of the 70s.

I love my Zune

Windows Phone 7 Launch

This week I’ve been testing out the new Windows Phone 7 HTV 7 Mozart handset – absolutely fantastic. It even makes an appearance with my ugly mug all over it when we filmed the launch event last week. Enjoy!
