I’m on my way to the West Coast of Ireland for a few days and am patiently waiting for my flight at Stansted airport. Pretty good wifi though a little on the expensive side. Airport security is still high from what I can tell but no transparent plastic bags for hand luguage.

The support team at Flickr have narrowed my upload problem down to my ISP having bad routing to their site. All much of a muchness really as my broadband agreement with Be has expired and I’m not renewing it since I am packing my things and uprouting to Kentish Town in North London. The new apartment is really impressive, massive open plan kitchen/living room with breakfast bar and two big double bedrooms. Wood floors throughout. I can’t wait!

Todd Zeigler has some tips for news websites. In my opinion some of the d-cinema news sites should take some advice because as I see it most of them are in the dark ages. Getting d-cinema information is painfull.

I must say despite its ugly appearance, I’m really tempted to get a Blackberry or a Trio looking at all the hive of activity thats been brewing in this space over the past few weeks. Winer has some come up with something I’d like very much to play around with: Yomoblog.

The Washington Post defines net neutrality. I’m still not clear that everyone is talking about the same thing.

The Common Cause website: “Network neutrality is the principle that Internet users should be able to access any web content they choose and use any applications they choose, without restrictions or limitations imposed by their Internet service provider.”

If you google image net neutrality the first thing that turns up is an AT&T logo with the caption “Net neutrality will triumph”. Are people saying they are lying?

Texas Instruments anounces the Digital Cinema Pioneer Awards which is being help at ShoWest, for extensive contributions to the advancement of the industry. Something to aim for I guess. [Thanks to CinemaTech for the link]

DCinema Today: “TI announced this week that 1,195 DLP Cinema projectors from customers Barco, Christie and NEC are now deployed worldwide, and up to 33,000 additional digital cinema systems are scheduled to deploy in North American in the next few years.”

I only realised a few months ago that ShoWest had a film component to it. I’ve got some friends that go to the music part every year. I hear they know how to thow a party.

This article by Reuters is a little old now but it suggests that “Digital cinema may not be ready to roll“.

FHM gets into mobile TV with the launch of “FHM TV” for mobiles. “It has been designed to deliver the subscriber with immediate satisfaction at any point”. Yes indeed.

Gabe Rivera’s memeorandum has over the last few months really changed the way many poeple view the blogosphere, at least for tech and politics. His new memetracker WeSmirch should bring the hole thing a little more into the mainstream. Dig the dirt on anyone. Wow and its got pictures, nice touch.

Hot topic right this minute in the smirchosphere: Kate Moss is horny! Well well roll on the liable cases.

Hey Gabe, we need one that covers the world of digital cinema, post production, cgi etc. That would be great!

Thinking about it WeSmirch is basically a live version of Heat Magazine except you get bloggers to be reporters and paparazzi/stalkers. Wowzers this could get messy.
