Digital Diva

Long-form content features, collections of selected work from around the web, portfolios of the finest creatives and a collection of recommended reading. From monographs, to books on theory, to peripheral concerns, they have tried to create a resource that is not necessarily complete, but a solid place for suggestions.

I found this video on Jono Marcus’ blog. I like ‘stuff’. I am very much a ‘consumer’…I also like this video.

The Story of Stuff was created by Annie Leonard and is now a book. It started as this short video (it’s a bit USA’ed) highlighting the affect of out of control consumerism.

Check out storyofstuff.org for more videos.

Remember the birth of the Internet? …I do.

I’m not that old…I’m an early adopter. No, really!

If you do remember the humble beginnings of the information superhighway…the above animated gif will give you a little reminder of what quite a few websites looked like.

Love my GF1…I’m only really just learning how to use it. I got the 14-45mm lens with the camera.

I’d love a good zoom lens and a wide-angle lens…sounds expensive. Had a look in Malaysia while we were out there and the prices didn’t seem any cheaper. Haven’t done anything about it since we got back.

This PDF on the Panasonic website is very useful…gives all the details of the lenses that will go with the GF1. I just need to decide now! I want them all…pity, I’m not rich!

In recent years, the characterization of the problem of information overload as an economic one has become more popular. Business strategists such as Thomas H. Davenport or Michael H. Goldhaber have adopted the term “attention economy”

Wow…love it. I was really looking forward to the new Ellie Goulding album (‘The Lights’) and it hasn’t dissapointed me.

I’m currently on the 2nd listen. My favourite will always be ‘Under the Sheets’… ‘Starry Eyed’ is still beautiful (got a bit more of a bassy EQ I think)…’Your biggest mistake’ is very catchy. Great pop tune.

Ellie was fantastic live in Leeds supporting Little Boots…listening to the new album really wants to make me see her again. I doubt they will be lovely small venues like Leeds Uni Union again though  :-(

trying out the mobile version of Tumblr…doesn’t seem to be working that well….

Themes!! There’s too many to choose from!

I’ve been on Wordpress for a while…and let’s face it, I’m too damn busy to write lots. Looking for something a bit snappier….maybe Tumblr is the answer?
