Sinclair A-Bike Plus Micro Folding Bicycle

I have an A-Bike from the Sinclair Research Labs I have only ridden once. As new. It needs a good home so that I can get a folding bike that does a little more distance. I can't justify two folding bikes so if you would like it please make me an offer.
It comes with a few accessories click HERE to see more in the flickr tags.

Representing the UK - on Qik

I really  shouldn't do video before getting dressed in the morning.

I wonder if @Minimentally will thank me in years to come. I know @Dogumentally doesn't care.

Thanks to @Kosso for pointing out this video. I'd recorded it last year i think and completely forgot about it.

Qik is a live streaming video app for your mobile phone.

Important Work

(photo by Phil Sands)
A friend of mine who is part of a new photo agency, Makoto, wrote to me from Damascus the other day in need of emergency help with an ailing website.

To cut a long story short, he needed a new mechanic to open the bonnet of the the agency's stalled site and get it started again. He emailed me, I dropped out a tweet and within two minutes @QuiteXander (Xander Cansell) came to the rescue. I have only met Xander a few times, I was aware he is involved in some pretty exciting things but had no idea he was so adept a coder.

Xander along with Ben (@IHateMornings) are now working on Makoto's site for a few months, doing some coding and design stuff, keeping them healthy while their photographers in Syria and Afghanistan worry about getting their jobs done.

As an aside my friend, the one who wrote asking for help, is a Luddite; doesn't have a TV, doesn't deal with anything more advanced than email, He was always of the view that social media networks were a diversion, frivolous. They can be those things, of course. But maybe this little incident will convince him that at times their effectiveness is unrivaled. Makoto was up and running within a day of his plea to help arriving in my inbox. How else could this have been sorted so quickly.

This is important work.
From the small talk through the business to the deep and meaningful. I am honoured and feel lucky to have some of the people that live in my network.

Puddle Thinking

I was reading about 'The Fined Tuned Universe' when I came across Puddle Thinking.

Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!”  

This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it’s still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.

Nokia Booklet 3G on Mac OSX

Today, the Nokia Booklet 3G on loan to me from @WhatleyDude and 1000 Heads just increased it's usefulness ten fold. Maybe more in fact, as so unaccustomed have I become with Microsoft's OS, any device running a version Windows turns me into a temporary luddite. I'm not a coder and come from a photography background. I'm afraid 'I am a Mac' through and through.
When James handed me Nokia's Netbook I could not help but want to look over it. It's certainly as sexy as a piece of Apple hardware but with Windows inside I felt like I had in my hands on a beautiful yet sick bit of tech. It was as if Windows itself was a virus and this foxy bit of kit needed to be cured.
At the Northampton Geek Meet the 'proper' geeks were all over it. They new the language of Gates and were mightily impressed. I felt even more that I needed to feel at home with this device. To make it my own as such.
Enter @Computid. I call him a kid genius. If he wasn't using his powers for good he'd have had the front door of his Mum's house kicked in by the 'Men in Black' a long time ago.
If they could find him.
This is a Kid who is rebuilding a multi million dollar Cray super computer.. because he can.
Adam told me if the Nokia Netbook 3g was hackintosh-able, he could do it. A few days later I called him and he had.
It's now in my hands looking like Steve Jobs himself had got into bed with Nokia to create a funky little mobile computer that behaved like a netbook should. There are still a couple of creases in the code Adam is planning to iron out but I'd go out and buy the Nokia booklet tomorrow knowing that this was possible. Follow @Computid on twitter and he will link to a full set of instructions enabling you to create your own Nokia Hacklet.
I'll also tweet the link to full instructions at @Documentally
