I have to admit to having a mild case of technophobia (er, a raging case of the techno scaredy cats if the truth be known). However, I’ve just stumbled across something which has, quite literally, blown my socks off. I am sat here, bare footed, ga ga over a piece of technology. It gets worse, it’s a piece of software.

My better half introduced me to the world of Microsoft Silverlight. I can’t begin to talk about the technology behind it as I’d make an coffee spluttering embarrassment of myself but the best way I can describe it is that someone took Flash and gave it steroids. The best demonstration of its capabilities is on the Hard Rock Memorabilia site (and sorry, you do have to download the software - stop that booing at the back!). I won’t spoil the fun for you, just look at The Beatles and keep zooming in, and in, and in…Amazing.
