Wow, big things in the online world today. twitter has gone and joined up with both bing and google. As far as I can tell, the bing integration is US only for now, and as far as I can tell google are just announcing their agreement with twitter, but I sense there could be fun [...]

Who needs team building days. I’m pretty sure that there is no feeling of togetherness like a group hangover, which results in a group purchasing of bacon rolls/sandwiches/cheese panino for the vegetarian. Mmmm bacon roll when hungover. My credit cards are cowering in fear today, not due to the newly announced Canon 1D Mark IV [...]

Today I had some post delivered. You might think there’s nothing remarkable in that, but for one thing, it was through the correct door (it’s possible that it had been delivered through the wrong door, and a neighbour had redelivered it before I got in, but we’ll give the posties the benefit of the doubt [...]

Well that was a long time coming. Well done Jenson Button, 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Driver. A big well done too, to the Brawn GP team, World Champion Constructors. Now why, oh why, oh why, etc. ad infinitum, didn’t I put that money on Jenson for world champion after that very first test when [...]

Saturday 18th October 2009

Well, that was the Saturday that was. Buying visitors parking permits, looking for a new electric shower, buying light bulbs, and doing my haircut. It’s a good job I didn’t put any loads of washing in the machine. I may have literally dies from over-excitement. Hey, it can’t all be creating false memories, suspended animation [...]

I spotted this one late last night, after I already blogged yesterday, but Apple are said to be allowing free apps to do the in-app payment thing. This is a major move, in my opinion, and is something that the newspapers, should be jumping all over. Yes Mr Old Media, this could very well be [...]

I decided to take the iPod touch to the gym this evening, and I can safely say that watching some video while pedalling away definitely makes it easier. Mind you, when I say easier, it’s all relative – I’m built for comfort. not for speed, as fat lads the world over say I found a [...]

I see that James Dyson has once again taken some pre-existing technology, tarted it up a bit, and released it as something amazing and new. His £200 “fan without blades” Air Multiplier. Which, as pointed out on hackaday.com, actually does have blades. OK, so they’re hidden blades, but the thing has a fan with blades [...]

Wow, a year ago today I started my current job, and it’s flown over, which means I’m enjoying it, I guess Obviously in this time I’ve made the odd little mistake (like briefly re-pricing over €3million worth of stock to around €2400), but I can safely say that I’ve not made any as epic as [...]

Monday 12th October 2009

This evening was spend in the company of a Mr Ross Noble. I won’t say too much about the show, or, more accurately, I can’t say too much about the show, apart from how he manages to keep so many threads of storytelling/trains of thought going on at once, I will never know. Very impressive, [...]
