Nice site showing tweets on a graphical image of the world.  You can get random tweets from round the world or select to view tweets from certain countries.

Wow, Asus announce 4k monitor.  It's pretty expensive at £4,000 but what a fantastic display.  I guess use it on a retina MBP and you can drive it flat out.

Virginmedia are adding a further 8 channels to TV its TV anywhere streaming service, it looks like they include ITV and Viacom (MTV) channels.

Just came across the LGZ USB by the above guys.  Great little useful device allowing an HD-SDI signal to be captured and transcoded live to H.264 live and then copied onto 8 USB memory sticks.  

Great for live OB stuff or concerts etc.  On the website its €2100

I've seen on line that defunct UK camera retailer Jessops is launching again today with backing by Dragons Den entrepreneur Peter Jones.  I understand that they are launching online and a handful of retail outlets with more stores opening soon.  Good luck to them.

Back from Astana, Kazakhstan again.

Well i'm back from Astana again.  This was my third visit there working on the playout automation system for the Astana Media Centre.  The AMC is a brand new purpose built facility which as far as I understand is to bring Kazakhstan media under one common roof.  Their are extremely large studios, radio production facilities, video post production facilities and I'm told a large auditorium.

I've been going there since September and it's definitely coming along.  The equipment installed all looks to be first class so customers should enjoy good facilities and great reliability.
