Geek

In the run-up to my show at Edinburgh Fringe 2012 (and during the show itself) I asked people to do google image searches and send me to results. Here are all the ones I have.

Verseday: Poems written for Google+ on a Thursday. This one (as it's the first) is about Google+.

A review from a gig I did at Kill For A Seat at the MAC Theatre in Birmingham. Lovely gig, amazing little room.

Now I've had a bit of time to play with it - I thought I'd sit down and write out how I'm getting on with Google+. I have to say, so far, I really like it. They seem to have learnt a lot from their previous mistakes and even at this early stage it feels much more like I product than Wave did in the early days.

Quick report on my first glance at Google+, early days so I've yet to explore the ins and outs of it but what I have seen so far is pretty impressive.

Computers help us in every area of our lives and yet adoption for the purposes of performance has been relatively slow. This is a set of articles discussing comedy using computers.

Tom Binns has had a great deal of success with his character acts (Ivan Brackenbury and Ian D. Montford). We are (of course) interested in his use of computer with Ivan Brackenbury, hidden behind his DJ desk is all manner of technical gubbins.

David Trent uses music, video and animation to create a visual display. Many comedians use repetition and rhythm to generate laughter.

Clearly, what every geek wants for his birthday is his own personal url shortner (a la bit.ly) with the work "geek" in it. So I got myself that for my birthday and I'm enjoying it greatly (even though my birthday isn't until Saturday - shh!) It's http://geek.tl - because I'm worth it.

Some notes on how the Google Web Font API was employed in the design of this site. Including the Javascript to fade loaded fonts in once loading has finished. May be updated as I tinker with the site.
