Finally got round to upgrading my home connection to run a dual stack IPv6 connection.  Is kind of cool to see my iPhone at home with a globally route-able address.


Doing a traceroute to www.lauchlin.com and seeing IPv6 addresses all the way makes me feel like I am back in my youth learning about networking and routing again!

Making Future Magic: iPad light painting from Dentsu London on Vimeo.

Pretty neat idea for painting with iPads. Not much more to say about it than that.

Morocco is a challenging place full of heat and people.  There is respite from the heat in the Atlas mountains and quiet hidden places in the cities.

Like a lot of people I have a soft spot for monkeys so when I found out you could buy knitted PG tips monkeys I caved in an got one for myself.  He has been our mascot here at lauchlin.com headquarters ever since.
