The Use of QR Codes in Printed Publications
0 comments and Rough Guides pioneering the use of QR Codes in books but this one is probably the best implementation so far. Nick Bilton’s new book - I Live in the Future & Here’s How It Works - has QR Codes at the beginning of each chapter that resolve to a mobile page were readers can join a discussion on the chapter, watch related videos and use links to additional information. The QR Code in the image below resolves here. 
Via http://2d-code.co.uk/qr-code-chapter-headings/ I personally could see this integration of QR Codes being used in print, adding rich media and interactive elements to their articles. However, it still won't beat something like this...

Recently completed - The Matt Hand Experience MySpace design http://www.myspace.com/thematthandmusic
Matt Hand is a singer/songwriter from North Wales, currently studying at the University of York. I saw him preform a brilliant acoustic set a few weeks ago and got chatting to him about his MySpace. Two weeks later and here we are, a nice new MySpace design!Web 2.0 Summit Points of Control - Interactive Map

Diaspora - The privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all, open source social network.
0 commentsDeveloper Release
Today we are releasing the source code for Diaspora. This is now a community project and development is open to anyone with the technical expertise who shares the vision of a social network that puts users in control. From now on we will be working closely with the community on improving and solidifying Diaspora.
We began the summer a list of technologies, and a few bold claims and the goal to make an intrinsically more private social network. The overwhelming response that we elicited made us realize that technology wouldn’t be enough. Even the most powerful, granular set of dropdowns and checkboxes will never give people control over where their content is going, let alone give them ownership of their digital self.
We live our real lives in context, speaking from whatever aspect of ourselves that those around us know. Social tools should work the same way. Getting the source into the hands of developers is our first experiment in making a simple and functional tool for contextual sharing. Diaspora is in its infancy, but our initial ideas are there.
Diaspora now:
- Share status messages and photos privately and in near real time with your friends through “aspects”.
- Friend people across the Internet no matter where Diaspora seed is located.
- Manage friends using “aspects”
- Upload of photos and albums
- All traffic is signed and encrypted (except photos, for now).
Things we are working on next for our Alpha in October:
- Facebook Integration
- Internationalization
- Data Portability
These are our current priorities, for more detail check out our roadmap.
Much of our focus this summer was centered around publishing content to groups of your friends, wherever their seed may live. It is by no means bug free or feature complete, but it an important step for putting us, the users, in control. Developers, our code is on github, our tracker is public, we have a developer mailing list, and we are happily accepting patches:
To stay up to date with the progress of Diaspora:
PS:
Feel free to try to get it running on your machines and use it, but we give no guarantees. We know there are security holes and bugs, and your data is not yet fully exportable. If you do find something, be sure to log it in our bugtracker, and we would love screenshots and browser info.

Some Old School MySpace Editing for Screaming Citizens
0 comments
Over the last few weeks I've been working on a MySpace design for a local band called the Screaming Citizens. They've recently released their first album entitled 'Shock And Awe,' which is available to download on iTunes, and they wanted to promote it with a fresh new MySpace design.
Although MySpace's audience has decrease over the past few years, Screaming Citizens have been using their page as one of their main sources of contact getting over 54,000 hits! With the release of their new album came new artwork, designed by Tony Ryland, my older brother. I have therefore used his artwork as a central point to my design as each track on their album has its own artwork. I've used some simply Flash animations using pictures that I had taken and I've added in my QR branding (Which was agreed by the band) I found that customising the CSS within MySpace wasn't an easy task to do due to the fact it kept adding extra lines of code into my embedded Flash animation. In adding these extra lines, some of the functionalities within Flash weren't working i.e. the links to my website and the link to their album on iTunes. I have therefore added them further down the page. Regarding the band itself, their music is awesome and I suggest you have a list to their samples on their MySpace!
