This weekend, Tom and I will be exhibiting The Webcycle at MakerFaire UK 2010 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne's Centre for Life.

Maker Faire celebrates things people create themselves -- from James Bond-worthy electronic gizmos to homemade clothes. Inspiration is ubiquitous at the festival and there are surprises around every corner for people of all ages.
...
At Maker Faire, technology meets art, science meets fashion, engineering meets crafting and that's just the tip of the iceberg. This DIY festival features cool robots, clever gadgets, garden shed inventions, knitted wonders, renegade fashions, cars and bikes like you've never seen before, the occasional fireball, music-making and much, much more!

More information on the Webcycle here.

Two people, three hundred miles, one ticket.

I went to see Renegades play Manchester Ruby Lounge on Tuesday. Renegades is comprised of the three current members of Feeder: Grant Nicholas, Taka Hirose and Karl Brazil; who are on tour under this name, playing only new material.

See my photos from the gig.

There have been over 165,000 views of videos I've been involved with in the last year that have been posted on YouTube. Now that's something I didn't expect at all! Most of the projects I've worked on in the last year have been in collaboration with Tom Scott and are hosted on his YouTube channel. I'd like to say thanks to everyone that has spread the word about these videos, and am glad that so many people have enjoyed them.

In case you wondered, this is the top 5 of what I've been involved with for the last year:

• The Webcycle (June 2009): The faster you pedal, the faster it lets your internet go.
• 2 Drums and a Cymbal Fall off a Cliff (May 2009): 'B'doom tish'.
• Breaking The News (July 2009): Boneheading the budget coverage, with a twist.
• The Matt Gray High Five Face Off (Dec 2008): One man versus a cardboard cutout of himself.
• Time Lapse Sunrise Photography (Jan 2009): 55 minutes of a wintry sunrise in 9 seconds.

The trailer for The Technical Difficulties TV Show (coming soon to an internet near you) is now up on The Technical Difficulties website!

The Technical Difficulties is the work of Tom Scott, Toast, Gary Brannan, and I.

The radio show was awarded bronze in the 'Best Entertainment Show' category at this year's Student Radio Awards, at the indigO2 in London, and won the Kevin Greening Award for Creativity at the 2008 SRA Awards.
