I am sure that I am not the only person working in educational technology to see what I think is a brilliant technology fail, something that does something you’ve never seen before or fundamentally changes how you see the world. Then 6 Months later it closes because it didn’t do the job it was supposed to do well enough. I write many posts about failure. It is not a bad thing to learn from mistakes and I wonder why we are quick to often to sweep them under the carpet. With technology I’m not always sure there is anything wrong with the product, a technology is really impressive but it just didn’t work out. Perhaps a competing product will do the same thing successfully in 5 years time. Many of us who play games are currently eyeing up what are known as ‘next generation’ consoles. The question for us is which console to buy and when, should we get a Wii U, PS4 or Xbox One. Perhaps those looking to blow a student loan will take a combination of them? Each of the consoles has a unique selling point, a selling point that is a technical product that the developing companies have poured a lot of money in to. Wii U has like a tablet like control system, the PS4 is looking to move into streaming services and the Xbox One has Kinect. If you look at all the technologies in the next generation consoles there is no doubt that they are all amazing, however …

There is often talk from those who grew up in 80s UK kids about the good old days of gaming before the large development houses and multimillion pound projects. I was born in 1984 so perhaps I was a little late to the party, but I still join them with fond memories of gaming in the late 80s and early 90s and playing games. The scene that is often described by them is very interesting. There was a boom in computers entering family’s homes, you could pick up a computer such as the C64 or Spectrum that would plug into a TV for around £120 – £200, which was substantially cheaper than all in one machines such as the Apple II that included a monitor and other . Primary schools in the UK had also recently gone through a phase of bringing in similar computers such as the BBC Micro, giving kids good nagging fodder when hassling their parents for one claiming they could use it for homework. The truth is that most kids didn’t have homework on their mind, they had games.   Popping along to your local Woolworths, WH Smiths, Boots or even newsagents and browsing through the budget game sections is a popular memory that often creeps up on retro gaming websites. Many gamers remember distributors such as Mastertronic who charged all their games at £1.99 or £2.99 (extra pound for something special). The time is often looked back on fondly by developers too, magazines would come with print outs of code …

So we got these leaflets for the South East of England to vote Conservative in the upcoming election. I decided to make them into something a lot more useful.

For those who are wondering, the song for France in Eurovision tonight, “Moustache”, is basically talking about a man who has everything in his life (cars, maids, money, stuff) but is just really desperate because all he ever wanted was a moustache. 

Even if you tried, you would not be able to make something more french.
