Recently, Suw and I went to Prague. We were staying just outside of the city centre, and after arriving on Saturday evening, we were looking for a place for breakfast on Sunday. Have you ever been at an event where you’re asked to describe your superpowers? I guess I have two super powers. Well, they’re not all that super, such as the ability to fly or stop speeding bullets, but they are super in terms of being super useful. Suw says that I have amazing ‘restaurant foo’. I can size up a restaurant and determine whether its good. Often, she sets a challenge based on the type of food she wants, the type of ambience and also the price range. It’s eerie sometimes how good my internal Zagat’s is. My other skill is Zen navigation. We’ve been to Prague three times now, but it was only this trip that I began to really learn my way around. I had read something about the Imperial Cafe the night before on a website suggested by someone on Twitter called Spotted by Locals. We came up the underground. I let the Zen navigation take over, and I spotted the Cafe Imperial. It’s definitely a place to go, for the food, the service and the glorious surroundings.

Grabbity vogue-ing for the camera, originally uploaded by Kevglobal.

This is a picture of our new little kitteh, Grabbity. She’s a little over 10 weeks old in this picture, and she’s a glorious bundle of cuteness and energy. She’s currently bombing around our flat and playing with everything that isn’t nailed down. She’s settled in at the flat so well.

Right now, she’s trying to climb Suw while she types away on her computer. We’re overwhelmed by her cuteness, and I apologise if the blog gets a little kitten heavy in the near future.

    For all the promise of user-generated content and contributions, one of the biggest challenges for journalism organisations is that such projects can quickly become victims of their own success. As contributions increase, there comes a point when you simply can’t evaluate or verify them all. One of the most interesting projects in 2008 in terms of [... […]

  • News organisations miss opportunity to build community with online photo use December 11, 2009
    As Charlie Beckett, the director of the politics and journalism think tank POLIS at LSE, points out, the Daily Mail is getting a lot of grief for using pictures, mainly from photo-sharing site Flickr, without the permission of the users or in violation of the licencing on those pictures. Charlie’s post is worth reading in [...]
