Two new toys: Nabaztag and Chumby

As you may know, I'm a bit of a gadget freak. I haven't gotten around to blogging about my Nokia 770 internet tablet (which I got cheap last year and happily use to check e-mail and listen to internet radio via radioten.com) or my little wifi-enabled Nikon S51c digital camera, but last week I acquired two new friends in my office, a Nabaztag and a Chumby.

Day 1 (or at least half of it) at the Web 2.0 Expo Tokyo

After much fupping searching of bags, bodies and shoes and confiscating of my soft drinks in Busan Airport, I made it to the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya this afternoon for the Web 2.0 Expo Tokyo where I attended some of today's events. (I missed this morning's English-language sessions unfortunately; I was looking forward to the ones with Joi Ito and Tim Bray.)

Some images from Narita

I snapped these images on my phone this morning; heading to Busan this afternoon.

Flickr to Shutterfly Prints with Firefox

Found this useful tutorial on how Firefox users can print Flickr photos via the Shutterfly service (using a Greasemonkey script). Thanks Quasistoic!

Galway Photo Wins 3rd Prize Singles in World Press Photo

3rd prize singles - World Press Photo

Joe O'Shaughnessy from the Connacht Tribune has won a World Press Photo prize for his picture of Strange Fruit at the Galway Arts Festival last year. Strange Fruit are a visual and physical theatre company from Australia who perform on flexible, four-meter-high poles. It was a spectacular (and free!) performance given beside the Spanish Arch. I must dig out some more photos I have of the event...

Flickr Meetup

So after the MetaFilter event, a bunch of us headed on to the Flickr meetup at the Crossroads cafe. A nice relaxed venue for a meetup, and I can attest to their great hot chocolates and tasty meatloaf with onion marmalade baps!
