♥ Hedluv
Today I stumbled upon Hedluv and I am declaring my love for their lyrics, Casio-induced lo-fi beats and in particular . . . their dance moves/microphone technique.

Using Vodafone 3G mobile broadband abroad? My £2,579 experience
Over the last few weeks I’ve been away a fair bit and because I run my own web-based business (Shed) I need to have fast, reliable broadband whilst I’m away. At the beginning of the year I went back to Vodafone (after leaving for T-Mobile a few years back after getting sick of the often [...]

Qik Football Reports
Just seen this via the Journalism.co.uk blog – the Express & Star using Qik for post-match video summaries from their reporters at the match.
