As an organizer and attendee of events on Upcoming, I noticed a big user experience flaw when it comes to sending notes through Upcoming.org. The problem is that when a note is sent to the attendees of an event, the email that is sent to the receiver, does not include the event that the note belongs to. 

Many organizers don’t realize this either, which means that I often receive notes of which I can only barely figure out where they belong to. 

Luckily, Yahoo has a suggestion board, and I posted this suggestion there to get it added. Maybe you can help this good cause and vote for it?

• Chess boxers slug it out - Who would have thought chess-boxing was a real sport
• The Machine That Changed the World: Great Brains - Waxy.org occasionally posts old abandoned video's to the web. This time it's time for a legendary documentary of the computer industry. Great watch.
• Photographing Squirrels - Probably one of the funniest squirrel photo sets ever.
• Jyri testing the iPhone vs some Nokia phones while I'm drinking beer in the background -
• Handling Keyboard Shortcuts in JavaScript - A little piece of JS that allows you to create shortcuts. Handy for those instances where you want to access some JS, or pages with long urls in your site with one little keypress.

I can’t wait until this comes out!

Melinda and I went to Mashed last weekend and we were asked to make 2 small fake movie trailers, to be shown before the main feature of the evening “Young Frankenstein“. Challenged to improve on our Torchwood Swede, we started thinking of some scripts. Melinda eventually wrote one script that lead to this little fake trailer. 

More successfully though, was the movie edited and directed by us that shot by Melinda and Jane Tandy using my Nikon D40.
