We've won the Kevin Greening Award at the SRAs. Yeah, it was time we got our own show. The Technical Difficulties - coming soon. (And this is why I've been quiet lately...) 23 Nov 2009 22:42:00 GMT f9a5d870-d881-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/intubator/ Endless randomly selected personal videos. 08 Sep 2009 10:46:00 GMT f3a800f0-9c64-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/webcycle/ The faster you pedal, the faster your internet goes. 06 Aug 2009 08:38:00 GMT 919539b0-8264-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66 http://www.flubay.co.uk/ National Pandemic Flu Service didn't get you the drugs you want?

With a camera crew in tow and a command centre in York telling us where the cameras were, we tried to get in the background of as many live broadcasts as possible, boneheading our way through London landmarks and news channels. Tom had an Oyster card; Matt had a Ford Fiesta. Only one could emerge victorious. 15 Jul 2009 19:17:00 GMT 086a41e0-7174-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/tdc/ My talk from Thinking Digital at the Sage in Gateshead, 15th May 2009.

That's the joke: but does it really give you that rimshot sting you hear in comedy? We investigate. 15 May 2009 07:09:00 GMT 5e6a25e0-411f-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/eurovision/ Made for Thinking Digital 2009, this page abuses Hans Rosling's wonderful Gapminder to produce graphs of a much more trivial kind - the Eurovision Song Contest. 15 May 2009 07:09:00 GMT 5a0c7110-411f-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/appalling-visual-puns/5/ Bringing together astronomy and dodgy 80s music in a way never seen before. 05 May 2009 18:00:00 GMT 45f41df0-398a-11de-8a39-0800200c9a66 http://mailviz.dreamhosters.com/ Just a minor update: an entry in Dreamhost's API programming contest.

The trouble is, I don't have stories from it - or from most of the things I've made recently. The reason why, though, is just as interesting. 12 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT 01cd6070-274f-11de-8c30-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/your-mum-news/ Puerile playground humour. 12 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT e8f20100-274e-11de-8c30-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/tweleted/ A 15-minute talk from BarCampLondon6 in which I discuss Tweleted and prank-call a spammer. 2 Apr 2009 22:00:00 GMT 60e6c2f0-1fd3-11de-8c30-0800200c9a66 http://www.tomscott.com/caleb/ Serious investigative reporting here. 25 Mar 2009 02:15:00 GMT 5de50820-18e2-11de-8c30-0800200c9a66 http://tweleted.com/ Recover deleted Twitter messages.
