• Six Applications of Photography in Education

  With the paranoia surrounding UK education teachers are now especially cautious of using cameras in the classroom. This was different, it was about pupils using cameras not the teacher so naturally I jumped and the next day an announcement appeared in the school notices that the first meeting of the photography club would be the following week.

• New Windows 8 marks impending death of the desktop as we know it - The Globe and Mail

  Certain techno-cultural signatures that once heralded the dawn of a new age – the uh-oh of an incoming ICQ message, the shhrr-wee-ching-ch-ching of a dial-up modem grasping to shake hands with the Web – now seem like ancient curiosities, relics from a time when images loaded pixel-by-infuriating-pixel and everybody rode mules to work. All industries march forward, but there’s nothing like consumer technology when it comes to the velocity of obsolescence.
