Writing about web page http://www.commoncraft.com/erring-side-happiness

If you are not familiar with the series of videos created by Common Craft then IMHO you have missed something special. Love their quirky, direct, individual style & they have proved really useful for introducing students & staff to new tools and concepts. You have probably also missed the recent blog post "Erring on the side of happiness"

Of course, it's not just happiness. This is really a strategy to prevent its evil twin, unhappiness, from rearing its head. Unhappiness, in the context of a married couple's work together, is poison. Business success wouldn't matter if we stopped enjoying our life together.

So we've been very deliberate about how we run Common Craft. We don't have employees because we don't want an HR department. Instead, we've found a business model (video licensing) that scales without employees.  We don't have an office because we love being at home and have made it our best possible workspace. We can be very low-overhead, agile and lightweight with two people. We've never required outside investment, and I think we're better for it. Investors aren't likely to enjoy a return based on our happiness. We are happily independent.

As already mentioned, love their style :o)

Mandelbrot Fractal Set Trip To e214 HD from teamfresh on Vimeo.

Best viewed in full HD glory on Vimeo

Here is a nice deep zoom into the Mandelbrot set. The words "nice" and "deep" fall a bit short actually.
"Mathematical Porn" is a better description.
After watching this video things in my room started to bend and breathe!! I hope you enjoy the trip!!

Upgrading the mobile

Writing about web page http://www.gsmarena.com/

Have left mobile phone contract slumbering for way too long... this leaves me in the shocking position of paying silly money for not a lot!?

So time for an upgrade :)

It appears there are (roughly) 4 price banded options...

1 - Low < £10 monthly

100 mins + 500 texts

with this sort of deal could have these sort of handsets for "free" (24 month contract of course)

2 - Medium < £15 monthly

100 mins + 500 texts + unltd internet Or 300 minutes + unltd texts

same sort of handsets as above

3 - High <> £25 monthly

600 mins + unltd texts + unltd internet

with this sort of deal could have these sort of handsets for "free" (24 month contract of course)

4 - Vertigo > £40 monthly

lots of minutes/texts/internet stuff i hope!?

OK so the heart LOVES the Apple iPhone 3GS (some of my friends have already been seduced...) but perhaps my bank balance and outdoors life would be more comfortable with £10 per month and the sturdy hard wearing Samsung Solid Extreme...
