Imitation & Flattery

By Tom Saunter | Published: May 1, 2013

I’ve been lucky enough to own this domain name for a number of years, and populate it with loads of content along the way. For a while, I ran a dedicated Tumblr sideblog of the same name which I have since merged into this site. More recently, I founded Digital Cortex Ltd., a formal means of […]

Aurasma vs. Blippar

By Tom Saunter | Published: November 1, 2012

I’ve written about Augmented Reality extensively in the past, but since the days of immersing myself in the purely theoretical potential for the medium, a few key players have rooted themselves in a very commercial reality that is now powering the fledgling industry. And while B2B-focused vendors such as ViewAR remain behind the scenes, the […]

Pachanga Boys: Time

By Tom Saunter | Published: July 3, 2012

Had to share this stunning track, discovered via a recent Future Disco show. It’s the sort of music that just lets the mind unfold, encouraging some really powerful comments and imagery to spill out onto the pages of YouTube: this track changed my life, this is like reborn feeling. Im shaking and flying all the time. I […]

But now it’s been ‘topped out’ and soon to open to the public, it’s time to get used to it. I heard somewhere that Irvine Sellar, the property magnate behind the tower, intends for […]
