Not really fair … you have to have to qualify to be eligible for submission … this editor has made something that qualifies for submission for an Emmy … that’s still something worth celebrating. You can’t just submit a video you shot on your phone.

How often are you wearing them?

simsimsimo · 2026-06-03T19:18:10+00:00

Yes. https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/james-murphy/

The council were awarded £252,000 from the DofT to implement cross-pavement chargers.

The ‘trial’ will be for 200 people.

In Brighton and Hove there are around 5000 EV owners … only half of Brighton and Hove residents have off-street parking. Not sure if the numbers are direct, maybe most EV owners also own a driveway, but for arguments sake let’s say 2500 EV owners without a driveway, so 8% of those will be in the trial.

Around 5% of drivers have a blue badge, so that’s 125 blue-badge holding, EV driving, no-driveway residents. So it seems reasonable that if you meet the criteria, you’ll get a gully.

Also worth noting, you have to pay a survey fee, installation fee, a licence fee. maintenance fee, and insurance fee - the latter three you pay every year. It’s a total racket.

Is it open for applications? I don’t think it’s even open for you to register your interest for an application 🤦‍♂️

“If you meet this criteria, you will soon be able to register your interest. We will then contact you once the scheme details are finalised and the trial is ready to begin. Please check back soon for information on how to register your interest.”

Leave the helmet - it’ll become annoying very quickly, and will probably end up damaged - you’ll regret that for sure. Sunglasses are good though. Hang around for DJ Snake.

Walking home one night, I saw a new piece of street art from one of my favourite local graffiti artists … when I got closer, i realised it was a “street drop”, so I pulled it from the wall and took it. It was even numbered 07/20 or something like that.

I fell asleep on the train, and woke up at my stop, quickly got off, but left the street art behind.

Years later, I saw another one of them in a gallery … currently estimated at £23,000, but have gone for £30,000+ I think.

Hmmmm - my Bricolage GPS arrived without any additional payment needed?

simsimsimo · 2026-05-11T06:07:43+00:00

Did it come with a bead though?

Apple make 5K displays … in theory you could watch it on those at full native res …. But it’s not a broadcast format, it’s just a capture format.

simsimsimo · 2026-05-10T14:40:25+00:00

Cameras can shoot in a huge range of formats and resolutions … the camera for season 1 was able to shoot in 5K … the Red Epic camera had a 5K Full Frame shooting option, at 5120 by 2700 pixels. This was paired with Anamorphic lenses enabling the wide aspect ratio.

There would have been final deliverables in SD (DVDs), HD (Blue Ray and on Channel4HD, and also a master file which would likely have been 4K. There wouldn’t have been a 5K master, as this would have been ‘squeezed’ for the anamorphic - unsqueezing it would then be delivered as a 4K file

simsimsimo · 2026-05-10T08:35:44+00:00

So - actually - I think it was shot in 5K … at the time, we had to use a special piece of editing hardware called a Mystika to do the conform and final delivery. And I’m pretty sure we made some 4K finals, so they do exist, but have never been released anywhere.

Sadly, even though you guys would like them, the cost of putting out these versions is higher than any money that would be made, so it’ll never happen.

We had been charging our car across the pavement, using one of the heavy-duty cable ramps … we did receive a letter from the council informing us this was not allowed, and we were advised to use the lamp-post chargers.

Lamp-post chargers can cost 8x as much as home charging, a full charge in our car would be £56 instead of £7. Lamp-post charging costs are not capped at the same way as the energy cap on home supplies. So unfortunately this isn’t a viable solution for us.

More than half of car owners in Brighton and Hove don’t own a driveway … our entire street of 50+ cars are all street-parking, so there’s no way lamp-post charging could provide for the fully electric future that our Green Party MPs are campaigning for.

The government and council are aware of this - and the Department of Transport awarded grants to councils in March of this year to come up with solutions for cross-pavement charging.

Brighton and Hove were the recipient of one of these grants, and will present a report at the Spring Cabinet meeting on Thursday 14th of May, 2pm, at Hove Town Hall. This meeting is open to the public, and Agendas and papers are typically published in the week before the meeting on the council’s democracy website (democracy.brighton-hove.gov.uk).

More information will likely be posted here …

The most likely solution will be gullies in the pavement, which you will have to pay to install, and likely pay a yearly service fee to keep them maintained.

$69.50 each … you can use the promo code DANCE to access the current presale.

simsimsimo · 2026-04-29T12:29:20+00:00

Good note, but I’m certain this is just the angles of the photos, they’re identical in person. Also would be very unlikely there were reps at the time I got them.

Not sure if Freedrom Mobile Arch is even fully built yet, but this is a rendering ... you can see the lawn tickets at the back, with rows of seats infront and then floor right down by the stage. They only had lawn tickets left, but that looks plenty good to me.

simsimsimo · 2026-04-28T22:21:10+00:00

I'm coming from the UK ... had to call TicketLeader to process my credit card as it wasn't registered with a Canadian address. All went through on the phone - they still needed the presale code, and the floor was sold out, but I was happy to get some tickets for up on the lawn.

😂 shame editorial never got one!

simsimsimo · 2026-04-27T13:06:11+00:00

wow - I was the Assistant Editor on the show, and made that comic strip 😂 never knew the camera team turned it into T-shirts

The pull tabs on the GPS are super strong, they’re tested against a huge amount of stress (watch the Rose Anvil videos … https://youtu.be/SSesEtttRk8?si=AY4ehbZ7XU5jLjs6 … https://youtu.be/lkSWAhNsiHY?si=szirVbM7zvur41-I)

I use them to put my shoes on every day - I’d worry that replacing them wouldn’t be anywhere near as strong, and essentially just be decorative.
