The Portsmouth That Has Passed

A Panorama of a Thousand Years

Yesterday I found this old book tucked away at the back of a shelf; it was passed down to me a few years ago from my dad and I'd completely forgotten about it since.

The book takes a journalistic approach to Portsmouth's history; looking at many of the events that occurred between 491 B.C. up to 1987.

Originally the book started as a project by William G. Gates, and he was still busy working on The Portsmouth That Has Passed when he died at the age of 90, the book was the completed by his colleague F.K.H Young and first published in 1946.

This second edition was updated in 1987 by Nigel Peake and printed by Portsmouth Publishing and Printing Ltd. in conjunction with The News. 

Here I've scanned in twenty pages and photos from the book:

Unanswered Lost Questions

A comprehensive list of questions that the Lost writers/creators left unanswered.

It seems a lot of the ongoing plots in the show were either totally forgotten or just pointless, e.g. Dharma, the Others, why did Tom feel the need to wear a fake beard, four-toed statue, Walt, etc, etc, etc

Future of Web Design Conference 2010

Another Future of Web Design has passed and I can say it exceeded all of my expectations, this years was the best conference I have ever attended.

Not only were the talks and presentations of a much higher standard and quality, but there were two tracks to choose from; double the choice!

My favourite talks from the two days were Dan Cederholm's, Simon Colluson'sPaul Boag's and the Web Standardistas.

One of the things I personally enjoy and find most value in, maybe a tiny little bit more than the talks themselves, is the networking; and this year the breaks were slightly longer and there were speed networking sessions. There was definitely a focus on networking which gave me the opportunity to chat with many great people.

Overall this FOWD was of a much higher standard and thoroughly enjoyable.

Here's a selection of photos I took over the two days:
