Whenever we are out and about in Dorset, we almost always come across riders hacking out along lanes, bridleways or in this case forestry tracks. The two girls passed us a couple of times and were happy to stop and say hallo so that we could give their horses a bit of fuss.

Here's a handy hack I've been using lately to carry a map and notes along with my hacked Moleskine Weekly Planner notebook.
I use a standard 3" x 5" yellow sticky note to draw a map, with directions, address, phone numbers and whatever else I might need to get to my meeting.
Then I attach the long, sticky edge to the spine side of the Moleskine (left edge) and then slide the loose edge of the stick note under the elastic band (right side), so it won't catch the corners in my pocket.
Once I'm done with the map, I can save it in the back of my Moleskine for later use, or toss it out.
This approach also works well for task lists and any other at-a-glance information you need to see without opening up the Moleskine.

The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government-owned nuclear bunker in Nantwich, Cheshire.
Hack Green's involvement in modern warfare defence began in 1941, when the area was a decoy for World War II raids on the large railway junction about ten miles away at Crewe.
From 1941 to 1949 it was a World War II radar station. In the 1950s it became part of a secret radar network codenamed Rotor, closing in 1958. It then became an Air Traffic Radar Unit.
RAF Hack Green closed in 1966 but the site was retained by the government. After a decade in mothballs, it was turned into a blast-proof nuclear bunker capable of housing a 135-man post-nuclear attack regional government team for 12 weeks. The site became fully operational in 1984, before being decommissioned and declassified in 1993.
Inspiration for some of the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.

Today I woke up and decided to try hacking my iPod Touch. Rob at work had done it, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Long story short: mission accomplished! I even figured out how to rearrange the icons on my screen, even though i left the original ones just where they were. You can even switch out the bottom dock icons.
My iPod Touch is now an iPhone minus the phone part. So I've got all of the standard iPhone apps: google maps, weather and stock widgets, notes, Mail, and i've enabled the ability to add calendar events (two lines of code is all it took – adding events to the calendar was disabled for the Touch).
Thanks to the awesome world of hackers and 3rd party developers (you guys rock), i've got the NES emulator, Apollo instant messenger (serves msn, aim, a whole bunch of others), navizon GPS, sketches (like an etch-a-sketch, you even shake it to erase the image), and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am a huge apple fanboy, but i'll be damned if they don't understand that opening the iphone/touch is the way to go.
The only handicap this has is that all the web-enabled services are only useful if i'm on a wi-fi network. With the iphone you can access them through Edge anywhere as long as you've got cellular coverage.
Until the iphone comes to canada, this will do :)
and wow, photographing something that's backlit is quite a bitch, isn't it?
