A new slant on the news

I was impressed to see the preview of BBC News's new look, but being an impatient-type I want it *now*.

Arsenal Home Games

Finsbury Park is a fantastic place to live, except when there's a home game at the Emirates Stadium, when things get a little, erm, busy. The nearby councils do a good job of letting residents know when they can expect disruption using attachments on their street signs, but that's not nearly nerdy convenient enough for me. 

Today I hacked together http://arsenalhomegames.appspot.com/ — a single-purpose mobile web app which'll tell you if there's a game today, as well as listing the next few games.

I mainly built it for myself, but I'm sure it might be of use to some of my neighbours!

Boxee Box

I love the design of the forthcoming Boxee Box — more fun than the AppleTV and way more capable.
