Mini LED-Throwies to order – Yes, they're environmentally catastrophic but if you promise to be good and dispose of them properly after use I think you can get away with order enough supplies to make 80 of the things for 25 Euros from this German shop. If you're not sure what I'm talking about they have videos on the order page.

The only downside is I can't think of anywhere in Birmingham to throw them. It's all brick and concrete here. Ideas?

If you’re looking for metally-places, what about the lonely steel girders and scaffold poles of any of the now-abandoned construction sites in the city centre?
I need to figure out a way to make these stick to the underside of railway arches/covered canals. To get to where I live I have to walk past a very dark and dank canal tunnel, over which there is a short road, and the road is covered with a rail bridge. It’s pretty depressing and grim, if I could shoot some throwies onto the ceiling of the river tunnel it’d be very special…

What about Selfridges? I think those disk things are metal.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think the Bull and Selfridges have much iron content, which is kinda necessary for magnets.

Iron Man is a top idea though!

um, how about the ‘metal carpark’ (also known as the cage) near the Mailbox that Jon is obsessed with? Not sure what sort of metal it’s made of.

Could they not be put to use in the creation of an elaborate opening ceremony for the forthcoming Digbeth Olympics?

This is the personal blog and main internet hub-thing for Pete Ashton. What you'll find here is a seemingly random collection of stuff I want to talk about and share. If you want to know where I'm coming from you'd do worse that check the about page.

This monster sucks in all my blogs from all over the place should you fancy a bit of Pete overkill.
Twitter dump
I have a separate Twitter account, @petepump, which, if you follow, will alert you when I write a new post here or on ASH-10.com. YMMV.

Some blogs I like

Elsewhere

Like most people I spread my stuff around a bit so if this blog goes quiet I'm probably burbling away somewhere else on the Internets. Here are the places you'll most likely find me. (Be aware that how I use these spaces will change over time.)
TTV Photography
I've been taking Through the Viewfinder photos since 2006 and this is where I talk about my practice and sell prints of my work. During 2010 I'm using this as a case study to see whether I can make a living by promoting my work through my blog.
ASH-10
This is my business blog where I give advice related to the social internet and blogging. It's working so far. It also serves to keep my witterings about social media and blogging in one place meaning if you find all that stuff deathly dull you don't have to avoid it here. And if you can't get enough of me imparting my decade-ish of experience it's all in one handy spot. Win!
Twitter
This is where most of my online social life happens. Follow me and you'll know what I'm doing and what I'm thinking. Or at least what I want you know I'm doing and thinking.
Flickr
More than 7,000 photos at the last count, some of them rather good. All my photos go here before being used elsewhere and while I'm not as active socially there as I was I do pop in to the Birmingham group occasionally.
Tumblr
My Tumblr, aka the Smursh, is probably my favourite blog as it's the most pure. A scrapbook of cool stuff I find online from videos to pictures to anything at all.
Facebook
I don't use Facebook that much, but I do check in very occasionally.
Delicious
This is where I dump all the links to interesting pages I find (as opposed to videos and images which go on the Smursh). These are then syndicated to my various blogs, or not if they're not suitable. So following my Delicious isn't really necessary but using it as a tagged archive of stuff would work.

Others
Given the nature of what I do I'm always trying out new services but they tend not to stick. As a rule my activities spiral out from this blog to the above and then into other arenas.
