HTML5, Flash or Silverlight? So, you’ve seen panoramas rendered with the usual flash (not on this page), sliverlight (photosynth) and html5 solutions.

Supercharging the HyperMac micro battery for the iPad and iPhone
I’ve previously posted about charging various gadgets with the Solio Charger but forgot to mention how to connect the Sunlinq 12w folding solar panel to the fantastic HyperMac micro (also known as HyperJuice in the UK). Well, it’s very simple and only requires two very cheap connectors. Firstly connect the female cigarette lighter adapter to [...]
Using Google Earth and Garmin Basecamp to plan bike and walking routes
There are a number of resources on the web that allow people to share GPS route information about mountain bike and trekking/walking routes. However, sometimes the route isn’t exactly what you want – perhaps you want to change the start, the end or the length of the route. I regularly download routes from Bikely and [...]
Un-warping 360° panoramas from the Occipital 360 iPhone app with Photoshop
The Occipital 360 app is an excellent and quick way to grab a panorama – especially a 360° one.

So, in [...]

3 ways to stabilise the iPhone
The iPhone 4 is a great all rounder for taking pictures and HD 720p movies – as long as the camera isn’t shaking! The iPhones sensor suffers from the usual CMOS drawbacks which can exhibit skew, wobble, and partial exposure. The rolling shutter effect can be minimised in a number of ways – here are [...]
London to Brighton by bike
As the sun was shining (and rain was forecast for the rest of the month) I had a look around for another interesting bike ride from London to somewhere – and not Epping forest this time! One of the top hits is the every popular charity bike ride that goes from London (Clapham) to Brighton. [...]

Mountain biking close to London (City and East)
Using a bike around the city is probably one of the most dangerous methods of exercising you can do in the capital. Even with the introduction of the Cycle Super Highways, there’s nowhere that’s good from both an exercise and escape perspective. So, where can you go to enjoy the country side with out having [...]
