Here's what the photo app's panorama mode comes up with on Samsung's i8510 (aka Innov8)

Gives you a rough idea as to what to expect, quality wise. I'm not all that impressed at the results but the ease of use taking these is er, impressive (need to buy thesaurus!)

I haven't posted in a while.

There, how's that?

Google Goats for the Mountain View

Forget Google Street View, now there's Catacomb View!

In 2008, NHS spent £350M on management consultants

Leaked picture of new iPhone...

These Digilegs thingys are kinda cool.  Slightly reminiscent of Robocop (or to be more precise, those things that went after the copper* cop).  These are being built-to-order by the inventor and cost under $1K.  Bargain!  Although there's a two month waiting list - but that's a small price to pay and worth the wait if you're a shorty (they add 14 inches!)

*yes, I know he wasn't copper, but you try finding a well known metal that rhymes with a law enforcement name (it can't be done!)

Haven't blogged in over a week.  I think that's a record!  Really need to get back into it, trouble is I'm always reading/viewing something fantastic that I don't find the time.  So, instead I tweet (which is far quicker and responses quicker still).  Or, as I've been doing lately, posting some of the coolest, most bizarre, and sometimes (shock, horror) newsy news over on Current.

If you like some of my quirkiest posts here on my VOX blog, I recommend you check out my submissions for Current TV's site here.  And, if you like any, feel free to vote the story up or leave a message.

You can also catch my thoughts, bizarre ideas and links at Twitter > @FreshPlastic Recent highlights have included Vodka Tea, being suspended and my crazy "cat" neighbour!

One of the top 1000 influencers on Twitter? Yeah and Swine Flu can fly!

As The Times put it (yes, The Times!):

"Video of Michael Barrymore mocking Susan Boyle uncovered"

Judging by this video and the Daily Mail article, it would look like Britain's opposition leader, David Cameron was a bit of a cheesy quaver during the Summer of Love.  Does he still attend events scattered around the M25, meeting at service stations moments before?  Who knows!  Oi, oi, Dave - nice one matey!

According to the Mail (I've yet to check it out).. "Tory blogger Guido Fawkes, aka Paul Staines, was Head of PR for the 1988-89 rave party planners, Sunrise."

Foxy Bingo

This has to be my favourite quote of the day.  Okay, I shortened it a bit (up there) - here it is in full (down below)...

"I was just sitting at the computer playing Foxy Bingo and everything just shook"

That was the reaction by one woman (Teresa Wintrop) to an earthquake in northern England this morning as seen on the Lancashire Evening Post's website this morning.

I wish there were an embedded video for this, I really do.  Anyway...

A young woman has her phone in her purse, purse gets stolen, thief drives off.  Normally that would be that.  Crime report filled, next to zero chance of seeing either the phone or purse again.  Well as luck would have it, the lady happened to have Google Latitude running on her mobile.

Latitude, for those that don't know, allows you to trace friends/family who have it running. Allowing you to 'stalk' them.  In her case, her 'stalker' was her sister.  They were able to tell the police where the car was headed.  Genius, no?

Here's what TechCrunch made of it: When Google Latitude Stalking Isn’t Such A Bad Thing
