This is a neat use of data that's just sitting there. When you connect to the Internet you have an IP address. This has some very rough location data associated with it.

Will Perrin introduces the backroom division of Talk About Local where folk play with stuff related to his project to produce interesting new ways to engage with local areas through the web. The first project is Jon Bounds' intelligent blog aggregation and I expect much more to come. Get in touch if you'd like to play.

Really nice mashup album of nerdcore classics which I was drawn to for the Evolution Control Committee's mixing of <i>Code Monkey</i> with 30 other songs, all chosen for their perfect pitch. Incredible stuff.

"This is like where you see the monster all knocking Times Square around and these bombers fly overhead and they're all shelling the monster this is that ill scene the dude takes from the roof of that girl's building when they are escaping"

is a cool looking iPhone racing game that you play by tipping the phone from side to side. But as someone who doesn't really play games (for the same reason I don't use heroin - I'd never get anything done) what interests me is the part where it can take the raw data from your game and create a video which is then posted automatically to YouTube. The potential application of that sort of process is mindboggling (GPS + Google Earth = video flythrough of your walk, for example.)

Nice little mashup that takes your Last.FM top artists and creates a personal MTV channel from YouTube. This is mine and it's oddly not that embarrassing.
