BiNS iPhone icon, originally uploaded by bounder. As soon as I found out you could add a custom iPhone icon to a website it was inevitable that I’d do a BiNS one. Immediately. And then blog about it. Seriously it was all of five minutes ago I found out. Those with iPhones (or touches), save BiNS as a Home screen bookmark – and Brasso the Bull will appear there for you too. (If you want to make one for your own site have a look here.)
Easy answer, we know, is nothing like it is now. Ever since Trinity Mirror failed to sell off the Post and Mail – then decided to keep it – it’s been sort of inevitable that they would get new websites, the icBirmingham thing being part of the a larger chain of regional websites for other (now sold) titles.

Another, and frankly pant-wettingly exciting to us geeks, special event as part of the Plus Design Festival is the real-life Pac-Man maze.

Maybe you want to be Pac-Man, and feel the terror of having your destiny in a player’s hands. You can’t move on your own, Player 1 will tell you where to go. Pac-Man doesn’t think, he just does.” A player dressed as Pac-Man will enter the five by six metre maze where Blinky and Inky will be waiting. Pac-Man’s movements will then be directed via a one-way headset linked to another player outside the maze (the Controller), who will be watching the action top-down on a large projection screen. 1UP!
