Has anyone else been watching Upstaged on BBC Three? Interesting concept for a talent show - not 100% sure about it though.

I’ve blogged a few times now about various news websites and their designs and I’ve mentioned more than once that I think BBC News is in need of a new look.

How do you use photoshop? →
I love photoshop and have been using it for years - I have licences for home and for work and open it every day. In fact it’s one of the core apps I have open at all times.

Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain please stop Raining it’s getting boring. At least we had a day of summer yesterday.
If you go to searchme.com they’re currently giving 1000 beta invites an hour. Well worth playing with.
Just playing with Photoshop Express but like all online photo editors it still doesn’t let me define crop proportions.
I’ve just been playing with SearchMe and it’s impressive. It lets you view references to a word on the page before you visit.
I really need to try and leave the office today or I would have spent two whole days sitting at my desk without a break and that’s not good!
655 beta accounts left at http://searchme.com/
Well the poetry book is now open (bbc.co.uk/jersey) now I just have to sit back and wait for the flood to come.
Search Me →
If you go to searchme.com within the next couple of hours you’ll be able to get one of the 800 or so invites that are left for the ‘unique’ search engine.

I’m really looking forward to Spooks: Code 9 - the spinoff of Spooks that’s going to be on BBC Three - London gets nuked.
I’m thinking of launching a video podcast for my blog with a daily rant about something that annoys me - but won’t because it’s boring.
Here’s my post on Spooks: Code 9 with a few more details and casting information. http://tinyurl.com/2wmg6h
