I have been involved with the redesign of the Archaeoptics website, where you can catch up on the latest high-tech developments and projects in the world of 3D laser scanning in archaeology.
Archaeoptics have worked on some incredible projects, producing accurate 3D models of everything from tiny prehistoric flint arrowheads to entire stone circles such as Callanish on the Isle of Lewis. I have worked with Archaeoptics on the Stonehenge laser scan pilot back in 2002/2003.
.
Their website has news of their latest projects, often with images of the 3D data and on-site photographs. They provide coordinate conversion tools, downloadable GPS waypoints, copies of papers given at conferences, and even some 3D models to download.
It is regularly updated, and if you are interested in technology and history, this site is the ultimate combination!

moJave is a Java moblogging tool for mobile phones. I am writing this on my Nokia 6600, and it seems to work OK, but it feels rather clunky for everyday use. It is currently in beta, to be fair, but not much of the advertised functionality is present. It’s also not much fun writing this on a numeric keyboard!

I first posted about Ecto back in May, and, after much playing with the demo for OSX, I have bitten the bullet and purchased a copy. The more I use Ecto, the more powerful I realise it is. I will post a full review here in the days to come, but I really couldn’t recommend it enough. Even the support forums for Ecto are checked regularly by the author.
Check back soon for my review.

As news of yesterday’s bombings in London came through, the BBC News website slowly ground to a halt as millions of people logged on to see what was happening. I decided to follow the events through the day via the blogging community, and it gave a great ‘bottom-up’ view of the happenings, often half an hour before information filtered onto the mainstream websites.
