Mmmmm, Raspberry Pie. Wait, Raspberry Pi? Even More Exciting!

I very often find myself seeing a new gadget, and thinking “ooh”. I quite often see a new gadget and think “wow”. It’s not often I see a new gadget and thing “ZOMGBBQGAMECHANGER!!!11!one!”. Those are pretty much the stages I’ve been through as I’ve found out more and more information about the Raspberry Pi affordable [...]

So, you might have noticed that I’m sometimes a bit lazy, and can’t always be bothered to blog every day, and yet the Interwebs still go on. I read things, and if I find stuff interesting, it is pulled into these here posts auto-magically. Here’s some stuff I found interesting between June 27th and August [...]

Finally got around to it

No, not “got around to posting again”, although it has been a while. Nope, I finally got around to having food from the near legendary Tayyabs, despite having lived in the area for seven years. The tales of long queues, and a very busy restaurant are what have put me off, but yesterday I discovered [...]

Cycle Superhighway 2 Opening Spin

I just received the following email, informing me that CS2, from Bow to Aldgate, is now open. As someone who regularly uses part of this route (Whitechapel to Aldgate), I’m calling bullshit on the wonderful marketing spin in the email of “a safer and more direct route into the city”. More direct? Really? More direct [...]

How Do You Shut A Bass Player Up?

Give him the sheet music to read. I’m allowed to make that joke, because I can’t read sheet music (well, not anywhere near what I’d call proficiently), and, as of Saturday, I’m going to call myself a bass player again. For my recent birthday, Amy bought me a cleaning kit and some new strings for [...]

Half a life ago

Last week I had a birthday, and I almost felt old for a moment, when I realised that my GCSEs were now half my life ago. But then three seconds later I remembered that I don’t really give a crap about that sort of thing. I’ve added a silly “twitter digest” thing, that will no [...]
