London Eye…

Thanks to the jolly lovely @LollyGee on Twitter we had champagne breakfast on the London Eye first thing this morning Many APOTSPOAB’s – more pics to come…

825 photographs in less than 2 minutes?

People often ask me where are all the photographs of all the people holding thesignedphotograph are. Well, it’s a logistical admin job and a half and I get very confused So to enable you to see the scale of the project I’ve updated the previous APOTSPOAB flicker film and hereby present to you “825 photographs in less than 2 minutes?”

Music courtesy C64Audio.com I hope you enjoy.

Warning – please don’t watch this film if flashing lights and fast images affect you at all

It is hosted on my new website which I am gradually moving everything over to —–> You can watch the film and others HERE

If you are an APOTSPOAB I hope you can spot yourself! Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I have made many friends on our travels. I still need another 1365 people, so if you wish join in let me know and I’ll come to you. I hope to be having an exhibition and film screening shortly too so ears peeled for that

It is a pointless pointlessness for a very good reason… I will get the website tidied up shortly so it all makes sense… for info on how and what and why, please visit thesignedphotograph.com or follow on Twitter

Have a great weekend,

Andy from retrocomputers.eu

Popped into the City on Wednesday to meet Andy from retrocomputers.eu – a veritable hub of all things retro micro computer.

Andy is a volunteer for the “The Centre for Computing History” in Haverhill, Suffolk http://www.computinghistory.org.uk and a jolly nice chap. He was recently at the Gadget Show in Birmingham displaying some rather fabulous SD/Flash add ons for various retro systems of which I am very  jealous!

The Centre for Computing History also provides background retro computer bits and bobs for the excellent Channel 4 Comedy  “The IT Crowd” Andy was off  to watch a recording in Pinewood later in the week – so have to keep our eyes peeled for some rare items in Series 4. Hurrah!

Also, during a ZX Sinclair Spectrum part of the conversation Andy told me about  rarity of 16K “Issue 1″ Speccy’s. Intrigued, I checked my boxed 16K when I got home and turns out that I actually own one! Hoopla! Thanks Andy! —-> See the “Issue 1 Spectrum” Page

Obviously of course we didn’t forget the most important part of meeting up and decided on a Fire of London-esque APOTSPOAB

2010 to 2190

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone is well and that the snow is jolly rather than a problem for you. I spent a few days up in Edinburgh just now and it was beautiful, although it was a lot of fun getting back as the trains were askew. Braved Arthur’s Seat for well, you know…

As you can see @thesignedphoto has had a bit of an accident. I slipped on the icy path and fell on him. New glass is a’coming. It won’t be the same though…

Ed Fordham in Super Kilburn!

Ed is most likely to be my MP come election time and a good all round chap. We’ve been conversing online for a while and finally met up for a photo. Cheers Ed!

Hoopla! You can’t get any more local than Kilburn for me and I’m a proud Kilburnetter. It’s a great place to live

Stephen Fry Day…

Friday wrote Mr Kipling. Let’s all go into town with a signed photograph and meet some people. Via the joys of Twitter via the retweeting of @Cartoonbeardy I met the jolly nice @mrjames in Soho Square. Mr J is working on the new Clash of the Titans remake and it seems he is being stalked by pigeons…

After a stroll and a cuppa on the South Bank On Friday evening we went to see Stephen Fry read excerpts from his new book in Bloomsbury. Afterwards Stephen kindly took time to chat and agreed to become #APOTSPOAB number 814! Thank you Mr Fry for being such a kind, generous and lovely chap

On the way out I got interviewed by a couple of girls from an internet site called WinkBall. I think somewhere on their site there is a rather rough looking me insanely selling the signed photograph and saying nice things about Stephen Fry. I darn’t look! But here they are!

Spaced House Arthur

Was up in Kentish Town today.
Requested by Mike on Twitter – CHECK!

Any more London based Arthur photo requests?
