Matt's Tedious Link

This week I am paying homage to my hero Comedy Dave of 'The Chris Moyles Show', by making a copy of his feature 'The tedious link'

So here it is, Matt's Tedious Link.



Pete Seeger - Turn! Turn! Turn! appears on the soundtrack Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. If you change the first letter of Hanks to a 'Y' you get 'Yanks' which is a slang word for a person from America. America is the biggest global power in the world, and like many other countries will be taking part in this week's G20 summit. A summit is the top of a mountain and if you're at the top of a mountain then you will probably be able to see for miles. Miles is the plural of mile and if you run over 26.3 miles then you will have completed a marathon. A marathon is what a Snickers used to be called until it changed its name in 1990. If you were born in 1990 then you are likely to be either 18 or 19 years old. 19 years old is famously the subject of the Paul Hardcastle song about soldiers in the Vietnam war. Vietnam is in South East Asia and shares a border with Laos. Laos rhymes with house and if your house was on fire you might say that a fireman is 'The man who' you would call. 'The man who is the title of the 4th album by Travis and which contains the epic song 'Turn'.

Matt demos Augmented Reality



I was recently shown this website (which Matt is demonstrating in the video above) by a friend showcasing Augmented reality technology.

We were all very impressed with this live version of the technology, I have seen it before, but never in a web application.
 
If you search 'augmented reality' in youtube, you will find many other ways people have used this technology. One such application was an advertising campaign for a New Zealand Zoo, which was printed in newspapers and when seen thoughh the AR software, appeared to have wild animal walking around on the paper.
 
RoB and Matt.
 
n.b. Anybody impressed with Matt's acting skills should look at the outtakes from the filming.
