Here is a site created by Green Peace criticizing apple’s manufacturing processes and clean-up. The site copies apple style which I thought was a stroke of genius.
Whether you agree with Green Peace or not its worth a look just from a web design standpoint but read the site and make up your own mind.
Problems like this are not just restricted to one company. Electronic goods recycling is pretty poor I know I have loads of electronics stored in the house because I can’t bear the thought of it going into landfill, at my local tip they are now separating all electronics but for what purpose I’m not sure I hope for sensible disposal and re-use. Truth is I need to find this out its my responsibility too I bought the damn stuff.
I know I can do more, instead of blaming everyone else start with ourselves, what did you do with that old CRT Tele ? Did you bin it ? Sell it ? Give it away ?
Anyone want an old 233 intel celeron and motherboard BTW ?

For some reason my blog appears high in the list of XNA blogs on particular topics.
One of the searches I get is step by step XNA, as I was bitching about the lack of docs from MS, probably a little harshly considering its a beta alpha.
There are plenty of resources out there most notably the Starter project, but for those unfamiliar with studio and c# that too can be daunting.
One good starting point for step by step is the XNA Book that LearnXNA has on its site. This is quite good. Its a shame its stopped at chapter four but then XNA is kinda stopped at chapter four till the next release comes out.
Take a good look round that site its pretty good. There is also XNASpot
Also my delicious links have some handy resources there and I will add to this as I find good stuff.
However there are many blogs out there “lets kill dave” being one I check up on a lot, worth reading, one for content and two for a jump off point.
So hope that helps anyone interested in XNA finding a better place to be than here. Until I get more involved of course.
Oh yeh don’t forget Codeplex, this is filling up with XNA too, and the best way to learn anything is some else’s code, even if it is just to serve as a bad example. (Que jokes).

After asking wordpress why they didn’t support image uploads in MS Writer I found out that MS product tries to create directories, which for a public hosted free service is a bit much to ask for.
They did mention using BlogDesk instead as it could handle image uploads.
So Im posting a Perlin generated landscape.
Ooohh the image insert part is quite nice, complete with thumbnailing, I was going to bitch I could’nt just drag it on, no I am,think I just did.
Well here goes.
*Edit – Hmm Thumbnailing didn’t work but at least I have an image.
