Well I can’t really credit myself with even being able to write very well. I have terrible handwriting, the keyboard is my friend. I do remember doodling with my Bic though, in school – and found out things like it was really nice  and smooth to write on those polystyrene cups.
Anyway, the Bic Biro is [...]

Yea yea, you all came here either a) looking for dirt or b) looking to defend poor Tiger from more attacks… Well guess what, its not about his extra marital activities!
That’s right guys, Golf.  Remember that game that Tiger played before trying to escape from his wife? (supposedly).  EA Have recently released an open beta [...]

There is a new addictive free iPhone application out that will put your word skills to the test, a sort of Boggle style puzzler where you have to make words out of random letters by touching them.

Google Chrome – Extensions

The hardest leap from Firefox to Chrome for me was the lack of important extensions that made browsing a lot easier.   I will always use Firefox for development as loosing Firebug would be unthinkable, but as Firefox seems to have been going through a little speed slump recently I started to do all my browsing in Chrome.

These days browsers are big talk for those who use the web like some kind of drug deprived addict.  People build up a passionate loyalty to their browser of choice, whatever it may be.
As the web becomes more and more mobile and phones are designed to handle the internet in competitive and interactively rich ways, you would think that [...]

Yes Google are trying to take over the world, trying to deny it is futile – we will be assimilated.
Google aren’t really helping dispel the image conspiracy theorists are projecting.   With the wide scale Wave beta that is happening at the moment comes the release of some more information about the Chrome OS.
Google are showing of the [...]

I love these defence games, they are a lot of fun.  You have to build up your defences to save your people from the constant hordes of monsters.
There are many games like this around, but not too many that looks so well or have such an interesting way of presenting the idea.
The indie game was [...]

I have been using Curdbee for a good few months now and I think its about time I gave them some love.  There are many invoice managing programmes  - online and offline that are around, but I have not found one that offers a simple but complete invoicing management service for free.
Curdbee does this, they enable you to set up and [...]

Twitter has brought together people, co-workers and communities. Alliances in work, beliefs, causes have raised awareness and money and given people opportunities in working globally with great people on awesome projects.  For the most its just been a great way to meet new friends.  But twitter has its limits, and sometimes 140 chars just doesn’t do [...]

Yes the whole remote controlled idea is coming back again and again.  Now the World RC Car Racing community is pretty big, they have their own events and prizes just like any other group of enthusiastic individuals.   But on those lonely nights between Race seasons or waiting for the weekends, what do they do?  Race [...]

I’m a bit of a science lover myself, its all awesome.  But not only is it awesome but it is beautiful and intriguing.
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or extensional stress.
One of the most incredible and beautiful things is simple Viscosity!  Take a look at the [...]

When I was younger, so much younger than today… I used to own some remote controlled items.   I had a car, of course, a red Fokker style plane and a glider.  One thing I always wanted to try was a helicopter.  Now the RC helicopters back there were well, a good deal more expensive than the [...]

I had a moment today where I suddenly realised that 10 years ago I met my wonderful wife… (insert Awww’s here please).  But not only that, but it was the year of the millennium bug – you know how aeroplanes would fall out of the sky at midnight etc.  Millions, if not billions was spent on helping machines not [...]

Ok time for some science!  Most of my youth was spent (or miss-spent depending on your perspective) burning or blowing stuff up.  It must be a boy thing, almost like a right of passage, who knows.
Anyway, a good friend of mine who is now lecturing as a Dr of Chemical Engineering in a well known English university, [...]

Nokia E63 – Poor mans iPhone alternative

I would love an iPhone, most people know this, but unfortunately practicalities stand firmly in my way, too much cost for not enough usage.  As it was time to renew my contract or ditch it I decided to look into the upgrades I could get, with I must say an air of reluctance.
I was paying around 17 of my English pounds [...]

Gamer or not you know about World of Warcraft, its just everywhere.  Geeky or cool every one’s senses will be even more overwhelmed by the Blizzard success when it finally comes to the big screen.
Yes that’s right, somewhere in the pipeline there is a World of Warcraft movie.  Now we all know the success (read [...]

I was never any good a maths in school, I managed to scrape through my final exam with a grade higher than I was predicted… I got an “E”.
Enough about my sorry past!  I love Fractals!  A fractal is a geometric pattern that is repeated at every scale and so cannot be represented by classical [...]

Mini Ninjas, with no pun intended, kinda snuck up on me…  I was on my beloved steam account and noticed a new demo available.  After installing playing through the demo, I found I was left wanting more.  Mini Ninjas is a cell shaded ninja RPG style adventure game.  Its a complete mix of funny story, great characters, [...]
