Radial Uselessness

This is the ‘upcoming temperatures’ view in the Apple Watch weather app. Which numbers are times? The ones where clock numbers normally go? No. Which numbers are temperatures? The ones next to “ºC”? No! Can I see from a glance whether the temperature is

Psychic Signage

This may seem like a small sign for the psychic expo, but remember that everyone going already knows when and where it is. The sign is just a formality. A photo posted by Tom Charman (@tomcharman) on Sep 1, 2013 at 12:33am PDT

Some beautiful Song of Ice and Fire artwork by Michael Komarck

Some beautiful Song of Ice and Fire artwork by Michael Komarck. Good if you want to clear your mental palate before switching from TV to books.

I feel sorry for the nerds without glasses.

Doctor Frazzle

Just taking the Doctor’s bow tie away makes him appear at least 30 percent more frazzled. This was used in ‘Hide’ to excellent effect.

Time travel cheat sheet

From mr-dalliard: Time travel in movies You should have this on hand at all times. It may not save your life, but it could save your whole timeline.

Running wallpaper

I went running, and took a picture. Then, with my near-insignificant photo-fiddling skills, I made a wallpaper for iPhones 5.

No longer blurry

Hah. Well, it’s not blurry any more. Apparently the trouble with changing an iPad app to a Newsstand app is that people can’t find it. There’s already a few 1-star “OMG the Age disappeared” reviews on the app store. So, now

The Age for iPad, updated

The Age updated their iPad app today, and it is awesome. Crosswords, Newsstand auto-downloading, syncing clipped articles from the website, and a TV guide. But doesn’t someone in Fairfax have the attention to detail required to stop this hideousness? I should probably make

Dead Car

Walking past this car made me sad. I realised it was because it reminded me of a dead autobot.
