PS3 Theme Finished

Finally I have something to post about :D After starting the theme a couple of weeks ago, but not finishing it as I needed something else to fill the background with, I have finished the Playstation 3 theme. Creating a PS3 theme isn’t that easy!; once I had edited the 50 or so icons and made the backgrounds for different tv sizes, I had to make an xml file which brings it all together.

The finished result isn’t in perfect HD as the background images aren’t done in high definition, but the next theme I do will be done in full HD! I’m also looking into making PSP themes as well, so if you have a playstation 3 or playstation portable and want a new theme, give me a shout. jonny [at] jonnyblackler [dot] com

The Big Stench

Today a smell of manure was noticed in the UK. Soon the made stench was traced to the North of Holland! Farmers were spraying horse manure on their fields, and the smell (which usually dispereses) reached all the way across the sea to England.

If the folks in England thought it was bad, imagine how us people in Holland are coping.

Microsoft patent application shows off wearable mouse concept

Microsoft Wearable Mouse
Wearable mice aren’t exactly a new idea, but it seems that Microsoft thinks it can do things one better, with a recent patent application revealing its plans for a desk-defying device of its own. As you can see above, this one is designed to be worn even while your typing on a keyboard, with the cursor movement able to be switched on an off with a simple hand gesture. That pointing itself is handled by some gyroscopic sensors, with an accelerometer and a magnetometer apparently also employed for further gesture and position sensing. Needless to say, there’s no indication of it becoming an actual product anytime soon but, unlike some of Microsoft’s other patent applications, this one seems like it could well find its way off the drawing board sooner rather than later.
