Remolition Cover Shot from Macc Forest
IMDB app
Idea: Facial recognition app on your smart phone that scans actors faces and finds their page on IMDB, lists their films, etc.
Nompa’s are taking over the world
Although my Nompa experiments have grinded to halt recently, Brennig has been busy building a 35 degree version. Looks like he’s done a good job of shaping the deck and fitting the trucks, but I reckon he can get a lot more creative with the deck shaping (maybe dinosaur shapes). He has fitted noSno soft bindings, which is what I’m using at the moment. They seem to be a happy medium between the weight of ratchet bindings and control of snowboard bindings.
Now he just needs to get out there, test ride it and report back.

Waze to go
Just installed Waze, the social traffic app, to find out about the traffic jam outside my office before it was on any of the regular traffic outlets. The social internet is so cool, and Waze is one cool aspect of it.
Web influence
This bus shelter advert looks influenced by web layouts. Interesting turn around.
Powerpoint me
I have to do a PowerPoint presentation about myself. I have ten minutes and three slides. Should be plenty for a journey into my mind to explore the always-on connection to the internet.
So, I thought I’d put it on SlideShare, just because ‘You are what you share’.
Doing it the hard way
Spent the past few days downloading each individual page and image from a website in preparation for moving from Joomla to WordPress. It’s going to be a pretty big job, but hopefully if I’ve planned it right, got all the content I need and get all the 301’s set up, it should all go smoothly.
Multi-share shapshot
I’ve been thinking about some kind of ‘Multi-share’ service where you can update to all your social networks at once (which of course is doable with FB and TW integration), but also to be able to share what you are doing on other sites such as ‘I’m watching…’ on YouTube, ‘I’m working on…’ on GoggleDocs, ‘I’m reading…’ this blog, etc. It would provide a snapshot of your online activity at any given time. It would build up an online profile for you that would be constantly updating with your most visited sites, topics you are interested in, activities you do, etc. and it would do this automatically. This is obviously different from the kind of profile you have on Facebook which you make when you join and don’t update much expect for joining new groups. Maybe it could be an evolution for Facebook since they already integrate with Spotify, Newspapers, etc. and already have all the people. It would just mean Facebook working more closely with rival google for things like YouTube, but it would make for more interesting personal profiles.
My first Kindle is live
My first Kindle book ‘Remolition – The Interviews‘ is live on Amazon. It’s only had three downloads so far but as I was only expecting four, that’s pretty good.
I wonder what will be next…
Remolition on Kindle?
Yeah, that’s right. You can now get Remolition – The Interviews on your Kindle.
Now you can take Remolition with you everywhere, so you’ll never be without something mountainboardery to read. The Interviews includes chats with some of the best and most influential riders in the world, and you also get a bonus interview with the Remolition crew. Just head over to Amazon to download it and start reading. Enjoy.
