Give till it hurts
The Makethatdifference.com site is a sort of portal for online donation services. You know, like The Hunger Site and things. The design’s a bit frame heavy for my tastes, but the sentiments seem to be sound. A few minutes frenzied button clicking each day may even make a difference, you never know.

The Nokia Observation Camera is a really cool tool. It’s basically a CCTV cam with an in-built SIM slot which will shoot and transmit photos via GSM on command. It also sports a nifty motion sensing feature which will shoot and send automatically. No word on price as yet. I’m rather intrigued by the fact that the Nokia press page features a pregnant lady. Is this likely to be a new trend in handset marketing from now on?
