I haven’t really posted an article about the camera on the G1 phone and demonstrated its quality. Well yesterday I had the opportunity to go visit the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival (near Mt. Vernon, in Washington state) and the only camera I took was my phone! It’s only two mega-pixels and it has no flash and no zoom so I was a little concerned that maybe my pictures would be disappointing. However, I am pleased to say that it performed very well and I am posting the results here to demonstrate.

The first nine pictures are reduced from their original 2048 x 1536 size to 600 x 415, but the last picture is a 600 x 400 crop from the penultimate picture so that you can see the full-size quality. I think overall you’ll agree, the G1 phone takes a pretty good picture. So, there you go, don’t be cautious about substituting your phone on occasions when you don’t want to carry the extra bulk and you’re going to be outdoors.

Enjoy!

So there we have the offical T-Mobile sales figures for the G1 phone - over 1 million of the lovely beasties sold.

Today is St. George’s Day and the odds of you knowing that are next to none! Everyone has heard of St. Patrick’s day, even Cinco de Mayo, but alas very few people know of St. George’s Day. The English have done a good job over the years of infiltrating many countries across the globe, but they never really took St. George with them. Most of the time it seemed to be in the name of Christianity or trade, never in the name of St. George. And what was St. George famous for? Yep, slaying a dragon.

Actually many countries have St. George’s Day on their calendar and do mark it in some way or another, including Germany, India and Palestine. But for England it’s also their National Day - their day of pride. That is the theory anyway. So I had a look at the British papers today and what did I see? Basically nothing. The Daily Telegraph, The BBC and The Daily Mirror all had no mention of St. George’s Day. Only The Guardian seemed to have an article, and even that talked about Bradford being the most English of cities, sporting Fish and Chip shops, cricket clubs and Morris dancing. All in all, disappointing.

I think it’s a sign of the times of how some countries are starting to lose their identities. Whenever I return to England I am always surprised at how much it has changed since my last visit. Surveillance cameras are everywhere, public places are festooned with video recording equipment. No place in rural England is safe from the ever-watching traffic camera. Cars dawdle on roads that were not built for the current load, gardens shrink as new homes are built on existing plots. Even that ever sacrosanct place, the English Pub, is disappearing. St. George, ‘who is he anyway?’ is probably the response you’ll get in many of the now completely pan-European High Streets of major cities.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from metal fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

These were the words we sung at school, the words to a hymn entitled ‘Jerusalem’ that was supposed to signify the beauty, history and pride of England. St. George’s Day fitted in to this England, my England.

Tonight I am proud to be going to our local pub - The 3 Lions Pub - in Redmond, WA, USA where we will be celebrating St. George’s day. There will be a good group of ex-pats there, eating good English fare, drinking good English beer and reminiscing no doubt about our beloved country.

I look forward every year to St. George’s Day and I am proud to be English. Life has brought me to another country to live, but that doesn’t take away my heritage. So, this is a call to all you with some English blood in you:

Celebrate St. George’s Day with pride today…

With the advent of lots of wide-screen monitors, vertical real estate is now at a premium. This is especially true in your Internet browser. Well, yesterday I discovered a Firefox add-on that I am just simply loving. The name of that add-on? Tree Style Tab. It’s a fairly innocuous sounding add-on name, but it does just what it says. It replaces the tab bar along the top of your browser with one that runs down the side. I mean, now that I use a wide-screen monitor I can afford to give up a little of my horizontal real estate after all. And when I have umpteen tabs open (as I quite often do), I can actually see and read which one is which. Amazing! What’s more, if I open up another tab as a result of a link in a tab already open, it indents the tab so I can easily see it. That’s where the ‘tree’ part of the name comes from.

Use of it takes a little getting used to, so please stick with it. What I mean by that is that to close a tab, you automatically go to your tab bar - which isn’t there anymore! You have to re-train yourself to go to the sidebar and delete it from there instead.

You can have the sidebar condensed down to just ‘favicons’ if you want to, and then you’re hardly using any real estate at all. Pretty good! So now I’m not worried about having 15 tabs open at the same time - I can actually see what they are named and ones that were ’spawned’ from others are grouped logically too.

Lastly there is also a complete ‘options’ tab set available so that you can configure it just the way you want it, although I have to say, the default settings work just fine for me.

So, if you have a wide-screen monitor and don’t mind giving up a little bit of horizontal real estate, give Tree Style Tabs a try.

I have got a little annoyed recently by all the automatic Direct Messages (DMs) I am getting when I add followers to Twitter that promise me untold wealth and happiness. Actually, it’s not so much the untold wealth and happiness, it’s more like the ‘add 16,000 followers in 90 days’. Sending me to some URL that promises me 1,000s of unknown people to add to my Twitter followers count and also puts money in someone’s pocket is totally against the principles of Twitter.

My stats for ’spam’ Twitterers are really quite alarming. I thought I’d share with you some of the numbers I’ve experienced (The following numbers were correct as of 4/12/2009):

Number of Followers: 1590
Number of automated DMs: 325 (20% of follows)
Number of Spam ‘16000′ DMs: 40 (12.5% of autos)

Of course I have lots of other spam DMs, but these are not the subject of this blog post. Following is my list of the ‘16000 members’ as I like to call them. What I’d really like to do is put them all together in one room and let them add each other. Then they’d all be happy! Anyway, here’s the list:

Please feel free to follow any of these Twitterers that will guide you to untold and easy access to 16000 followers (or not)! And of course I say ‘or not’ because these are also the people that only have a few followers on Twitter but promise a lot. Hmmmm. Something for nothing, now where have I heard that before?

Anyway, I dislike these people so much that I am willing to recommend ANYONE who also ‘doesn’t want 16000 followers in 90 days’ to @MrTweet. Just send me an @reply to my twitter account at @jcx27. Together we can try and clear Twitter of the spammers and keep it the communication tool it was meant to be…

Powered by Twitter Tools.

What with one thing and another I’ve had a bit of time to get to know both Facebook and Twitter extremely well over the past few weeks. I think it’s about time I wrote an unbiased opinion on the two, purely from the point of view of how I use them.

I’ve come to the opinion that Facebook is more about games and photos and scattered status updates. Sure it has groups and fan pages and you can use it to contact other friends, but it’s mostly a one-way pleasure / communication vehicle. That is not to say I want to give up my Facebook. No, I like my Facebook. I like my Facebook friends. It’s just that I don’t get most of my social interactions via Facebook (except maybe the odd argument conversation with someone).

Twitter, on the other hand, is purely about social interaction and conversation. I hardly ever see a photo of someone’s kids, or a note that they are just like Arnie from Terminator. I don’t even get sea creatures or good karma from fellow tweeps. No, what I get is the thoughts and discoveries of these people, 140 characters at a time. When I watch all the conversations flash past on Tweetdeck, I try and keep up with those that interest me. I send a few notes to ‘Joe in Australia’ or ‘Connie in Cleveland’ and they return the favor and we laugh together. If I need information on a good coffee shop in Seattle (yeah, right!), hundreds of fellow tweeps will give me their opinion. What’s more, everyone is posting links to the Internet; constantly. There is a plethora of wonderful information for my consumption on an hourly basis. How did I ever get work done before Twitter?

Twitter is HOT, very HOT. If you want to connect with like-minded people and you have 57 hours a day to spare then Twitter is for you. It’s addictive. It’s informative. It’s fun. And, you know what, it’s actually really frickin’ useful. I have improved myself and learned so many things during my brief sojourn with Twitter.

Twitter is better than email. Want to know something? Just ask a question. People will respond. Want to ask a celebrity something? Just do it. Sometimes even they respond. That’s something you can’t do with email. Most celebrities are human too. And, let’s face it, if they only have to write 140 characters to you, it’s no big deal. They can manage that. Twitter is bringing the world together, 140 characters at a time. I know, that’s a bold statement, but I really think it can do it. For once there’s something that has no boundaries. Use a PC, use a phone, just send your tweet out.

Another thing I’ve found is that if you’re an interesting kind of person then people will follow you. Slowly, one by one, you’ll grow your network. I’ve been growing my network organically and it’s really starting to snowball a little now. My followers are growing by over 100 a day and increasing exponentially. Yes, there are some people that have created artificial numbers, and some that abuse the system, but others use it like it’s supposed to be used. I hope I am one of those people.

One of the side effects of growing your followers is that as you gain more and keep on twittering, more and more people take notice of what you’re writing and more and more people start to follow you. So it goes on. It sounds a little like Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), but you’re not selling anything. Of course there are some people out there who do use Twitter for MLM, and that’s up to them.

So, is Twitter hotter than Facebook? A resounding ‘YES’ on that one. Some people argue the two services are growing more and more similar every day, but I don’t see it that way at all. Facebook cannot emulate what Twitter does and Twitter deosn’t need all those photos and games. I love Twitter just the way it is.

I knew I’d hit the big time recently when I noticed Paris Hilton sporting a photo of me at one of the national award ceremonies! No, seriously… What do you mean, you didn’t see it? Okay, so maybe even I was a little surprised, but here it is, in all its glory. As you can see, it’s my latest CD that I’ve just released and so far the publicity has just been amazing. They told me not to give up my day job, but what the heck, I guess maybe that’s not so important anymore.

I’ve had a lot of detractors over the years who said I couldn’t sing. Well, what do they know? Ever since I did karaoke in Taiwan in 1989 I knew I had a very different voice than most folks. Who could have foretold then though, how those few Chinese songs would make it so big?

I think it was during 1992 at an old pub in Bournemouth that I really hit my stride. I remember the strained look on several of the customers’ faces as I belted out my rendition of “Don’t let the sun go down on me” on that cold winter evening. I’ve never seen the pub as crowded as it was that night, people jammed up against the door, not daring to leave and experience the 20 degree weather outside. Oh, I was glad the tele-prompter was working that evening.

Things came to a head in late 2000 during a visit to a nightclub in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, after a local bouncer made off the cuff comments to me that my hair looked a little gray to be gracing the establishment. I informed him I was actually a circuit karaoke star back in England and that impressed him greatly. Unfortunately the decision to put me up on stage probably wasn’t a good career move on his part as I later heard he had returned to a farm outside Rio and was milking cows with his sister. It did however, seal my place in Brazilian folklore and almost certainly led to the recording deal in late 2008.

So, there we have it. You can go out to the stores now and experience my unique growling sounds in glorious Dolby stereophonic whateverness. The album has limited availability in America from what I have heard, but is stacked five deep on the shelves of Moldovia.

One of the interesting side-effects of my rise to fame has been the unexpected celebrity fan base. Just last week during a photo-call at Selfridges in London, Victoria Beckham showed off my photograph to an unsuspecting press group. Apparently they had asked who she listens to in the car when taking the boys to soccer practice and she mentioned that “the music of John Cox gets them especially psyched up to play.” I guess that’s a good thing!

On other fronts, the launch of my music career has unexpectedly collided with the launch of my guru lifestyle book release. Entitled “How to stay happy, Even when your life sucks”, the book has led to a number of unexpected outpourings of love. At an apartment complex in Florida several people have even set up a makeshift shrine where devotees of the teaching can come and pay homage on a daily basis (see below).

I am hoping that I can cross-pollinate the music CD and the book, for even greater public awareness. Who knows, the teachings of my book may well become something that every down and out can use to lift themselves to greater glory. I have already been contacted by a number of social-marketing executives (why do they all call themselves CEOs?) who have recommended that for “just $19.99 and a sign-up to their latest MLM course” (whatever that means) I can experience 16,000 extra followers in 30 days. Amazing! They even mentioned merchandising too. At first I didn’t understand what they were talking about but they had a couple of t-shirts printed up and I can understand the attraction a little better now.

Actually, just around the corner from that apartment complex in Florida, right in the middle of a parking lot, there is a guy who is hoping to cash in on things on an even bigger scale. He is convinced that by making a graffiti drawing of me he can attract worshipers to his own “patch of space” and sell books and CDs on commission. I told him “to go for it”; he seemed a nice guy.

So the tour of suburbia is now complete. It’s been a hectic few days. Quite honestly, I don’t know what all the fuss is about. I’m just a normal kind of guy after all. So maybe the book is kinda interesting, but the CD is certainly not up to Madonna’s standards (even though I’m sure I saw someone just like her wearing my t-shirt somewhere!). A little old Jewish lady told me that was a good thing and she rubbed my nearly bald head. I’m still trying to work out if that had some kind of significance. Pete from the pub told me she just liked touching short hair, but I’m not so sure. I made a note to send her a copy of the book anyway.

This morning I got the video in from my agent. Well I say agent, actually he’s just some guy that insists on taking 10% of everything in return for sending me things. Anyway, the video he sent me was pretty cute. Apparently they had some billboard thing of me running in a couple of big cities, promoting my book.

Actually it was quite funny. Far more people had seen the photo of me and Paris and wanted to know where the CD was. You just can’t please everyone can you?

On a more disturbing note, I hadn’t realized that fame brings with it its own share of psychos. Some woman from Bethlehem, PA had bought up every piece of memorabilia from my 1998 tour of Taiwan (I hadn’t even realized there was any) and made some huge scrapbook devoted to idol worship. Her next door neighbor told police she chanted loudly and played some kind of growling music every night, right up until the early hours. Eventually she flipped out when she heard there wasn’t going to be a follow-up CD and the neighbor had to call police. They found her surrounded by posters and photos of me, mostly arranged in some kind of ’stalking collage’. The officer that contacted me told me “I had had a lucky escape.” I told him “thank you” and put the phone down. I didn’t really understand what he was talking about. Still, I think it’s always nice when the police are looking out for you.

Anyway, that’s about all the major news I have today. As I mentioned earlier, the last few days have been a little hectic and out of control. I’m looking forward to being able to return to normality and get out of the spotlight a little.

Well, wouldn’t you know it. Just as I was putting the finishing touches to this article I got a call from that guy who says he’s my agent. Apparently some dude in Piddletrenthide, England found a picture of me dating back a hundred and twenty years. I don’t know how it can be me though; I told the guy I wasn’t even 50 yet.

He emailed me a photo he’d taken from the book (see below) and I have to say, it does actually look fairly convincing.

It wouldn’t be so bad, but the book is actually about convicts that were deported to Australia in the nineteenth century. Maybe that explains my love for Marmite and Vegemite. Then, to make matters worse, this guy from Piddletrenthide finds yet another book with a picture of me in it, but this time he’s accusing me of being a wizard.

Just what is going on? I have never even done any magic. Well, apart from the time I got out of my homework by pretending I had the measles, but that was a very long time ago.

Anyway, most of the media coverage has died down a little now, thank goodness, although I did just get a call from some woman asking about doing an ‘author signing’ at a Barnes & Noble in Lexington, Missouri. I told her “I didn’t think so,” and hung up the phone. Heck, I don’t even know where Lexington, Missouri is. The price of fame…
