2 Mice One Screen?

his and hers sides of the screen

I’ve got a new 23″ imac and the screen’s massive. Me and Nicky often sit in front of it working/browsing etc and it’s big enough for one person to have something open one side of the screen while the other person busies themselves on the other side. I was just thinking is it possible to have 2 users controlling a mac at the same time? with 2 mouse pointers and keyboards? I know what you’re thinking – just get 2 computers – but I think it’s actually quite cute both huddled around the same screen and it’s half the price of 2 machines! If anyone knows how, please send me the details :)

Quirky short film Raymond by bif pictures.

“Raymond, a lazy swimming pool instructor, would like to discover the ocans. A team of scientists with a brand new solution offers to help him…”

The movement/physics is like real life version of this chat engine. You have to watch it for a bit before it gets really funny, but don’t fast forward. Nice idea, superbly executed.

London Underground Posters

Rugby at Twickenham by tram london transport posterMy mum and dad have this poster at home, it right out side my bedroom and I’ve always loved it. A friend just asked if I knew where she could get it, I did a quick search and it turns out it’s a London Transport Museum poster by Laura Knight, only a tenner too.

They’ve got a load of other great rugby posters, and much much more. Really nice collection of vintage design and illustration.
