http://www.jwcroft.com Do what now Mon, 19 May 2008 13:31:50 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Look, we all know the 3G iPhone is coming to Australia. The writing is on the wall; it's inevitable. It's been confirmed by multiple carriers. It's happening at WWDC 2008 with almost 100% certainty. However, in the midst of all of the iPhone 3G rumors, I think that a very ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/42 Have you seen digg has released a cool little widget? I really like it, but I think they might have pinched the idea from somewhere else. Still, it's a bit more customisable than last.fm's effort, and I'm all for customising! I'm really liking Daniel Burka's work lately; he's done some ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/40 Just a quick note to say I found Google posting on their Official Blog about their new Australian blog. I really love it when companies like Google take a local interest, and some of you probably already know I really don't like it when we're ignored. It's great to see ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/39 Just thought I'd share my little phone mod that I did in about 20 minutes with the aid of my left-over Guitar Hero 2 stickers. Why didn't I use them on my guitar? Well, it got a different treatment altogether; a custom paint-job! It's got a Banksy theme! I'll take ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/34 Just a quick notifier that I'm mucking around with some of the styling in the blog at the moment, so don't panic if you see some weirdness. I've changed it at the moment, so that the minimum width is 980px (sorry 800x600'ers!). Gives me some more room to play with ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/33 Even though this is still coming soon, and it's acutally split into 40gb "peak time" (typically 10am till around 1am) and 110gb "off peak" (1am - 10am), it could be the type of plan which would actually work for Australian digital media distribution which requires a large download quota. Coming ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/32 It's tough being a Mac user in Australia sometimes. Especially this year; it just seems like sometimes we are a country that Apple says "Oh, we have a market in Australia? Alright, I s'pose we'd better send something their way." We get products that are geared for an American market ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/27 I've always loved Japanese TV game shows. From episodes of Takeshi's Castle as a kid, to the awesome 'Viking: The Ultimate Obstacle Course' a couple months back on ESPN, it's always been a guilty pleasure of mine. This is why I couldn't let this clip go by without posting it ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/25 aka "Remember, remember, the First of Mayvember, gunpowder, treason and 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" I'm not sure if any of you loyal readers follow this kind of internet dramabomb, but today digg.com just got slaughtered by it's own ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/9 I never thought that I'd do two Triple J posts back-to-back, but there you go. Recently they've had a design competition whereby the entrants had to redesign their logo. There were tons of great entries, and the winner's entry is absolutely fantastic. It's a big water tower in the shape ... http://www.jwcroft.com/blog/archives/6
