Nokia have a nice little thing going on with The Royal Artist Club, which is essentially a platform for artists (and credible ones at that!) to communicate with their fans in a blog format, using N Series handsets.

Live Nation have decided not to go ahead with the Leeds leg of the O2 Wireless Festival following disappointing attendance over the last couple of years, with the event failing to entice in the same way as London.

I’ve recently been getting into photography, thanks to my girlfriend who bought me an old Holga camera.  Which uses film (gasp!).  There’s something about the mystery of not being able to see your photo until you’ve had it developed that makes the experience much more interesting, exciting even.  It means that good photos you take […]

I spotted a flyer for the UK B-Boy Championships in a recent Don’t Panic pack, and am rather taken with the use of the Sony Ericsson roundel to say “I Love Breakin’” - check the shot below to see what I mean.  Just looks cute.
