Yahoo! Live

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Starting today, you can watch happenings of my life on Yahoo! Live at http://live.yahoo.com/jameskirsop. I’ll be broadcasting live (bandwidth permitting) from UTS Orientation/Clubs day this Wednesday, 20th Feb, so make sure you tune in to watch this social experiment.

God’s gift to Facebook: 3rd Party Apps

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

With the recent addition of 3rd party apps, Facebook has become the superior site to MySpace among many of my tech-savy friends at Uni and at Apple. While some of them I find a bit of a waste of time, many of them are very useful and are very exciting for me as a user [...]

Where in the world have I been?

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Since it’s been quite a while since the hype that surrounded CeBIT AU (and I’ve still got some reviews to write up when I get a chance), I thought I’d let you know what I’ve been up to of late!

James on the Interwebs!!

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

So from 12pm till 2pm today my face was clogging up tubes of the internet around the world as I sat in the booth for the Chaser’s War on Everything Season 2 countdown that is streaming across the world. I started off doing a Diggnation style program (minus the beer and a guy using a [...]

Facebox, a MySpace alternative

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

Last weekend, I recieved another invite to a social networking service in my Hotmail inbox, which I usually regard as spam. I hadn’t seen an invite to this service come through my inbox before so I thought I’d check it out. I’m glad that I did, because Facebox seems to be a really good alternative [...]
