James is 13 years old. I didn’t realise he was born with a colour defect until he was around 3 years old. On the way to preschool we used to do play games like, what number is on that front door, what colour is that car etc. James was always good at maths (unlike me!),… Continue Reading
There’s little doubt that the television was one of the most significant technologies of the last century. If I think back to my childhood it was certainly a focal point of every home. It was how we found out news, how we joined in with major events, how we whiled away many, many hours!… Continue Reading
There’s an updated recommendations box on some Facebook pages – have you used it yet? Continue Reading
With the horrible events of yesterday afternoon, it was particularly sad to see a rather large twitter mistake and some sickening Facebook posts. In fact, I still need to relax a little before writing about the Facebook stuff! Someone at the Friends Reunited twitter account made a pretty sick judgement call, as you can see… Continue Reading
I’ve had one of those Victor Kiam moments. You know the one – “I liked it so much, I bought the company!” Ok, if you’re child of the 70s or earlier you’ll know what I mean, I accept some readers may not. No, this is nothing to do with shavers, it’s even more boring than that.… Continue Reading

So, “hands up” time again – how many of you have seen this Facebook status? The next 2 weeks I will be posting this, and… Continue Reading
My first taste of so.cl today. An experiment by Microsoft to make search more social. It has a certain Facebook look to it, but their equivalent of the cover photo is a slideshow of latest searches carried out. Remember, these are searches by other users, not your own. I had been on there all of… Continue Reading
Typical, isn’t it? Could I be given access to my shiny, new Google Drive at 9am? No, I had to be given access at 11pm. The night before BNI (which means being up before 6). Can I resist having a go? Of course not! So, 5 minutes in, is this going to hurt my ongoing… Continue Reading
What a day. It started with the rush to get orders in for the Raspberry Pi – no, not a fruit based pastry dish. It’s a credit card sized computer, about as minimal as you can get while remaining functional and bringing with it a hope that it can kickstart a new generation towards getting… Continue Reading
Midgie has gone to a better place. Sutton Valence to be precise, where she will live with Tony Amos and his project Midget rebuild. I trust Midgie in his hands, he is a genuine MG enthusiast, plus he wants to use her. Just before he drove away, he was showing me a nice set of… Continue Reading
