I suppose that this post has as much to do about money as it does about there being loads of games out there, but not having enough time to play them!  Anyhow, I might as well recount from the beginning.  I got my PS3 for Christmas 2007 and played on Assassin’s Creed.  A lot.  My [...]

Keeping it all together on FriendFeed- I’ve signed up to FriendFeed to aggregate all my various web activities together, all in one place.  For now, I’m keeping it separate from my Facebook account and my email contacts.  In the meantime, I’m going to figure out how to present this data on the blog.  Anyhow, are [...]

Ok, I’m really starting to like the Mac- a lot. I’ve also noticed amongst other things that web designers and other creative people use Macs. So I guess I’ll start off with why I like the whole idea of the Mac. Both hardware and software is made/controlled by Apple which means that [...]

Jake Marsh is following me on Twitter- I feel honoured, and kind of scared that my humble blog and my tweets/twitterings(?!) are getting noticed.  I feel that now I need to start forging links with such like-minded people if my humble establishment is to survive on the high seas of the internet (I love metaphors).

Yes, I return.  I’ve been on a rather nice holiday to France and Spain, escaping the poor (which is putting it very mildly) weather.  I’ve never known a summer like it.  Get ready for a bumper post stuffed full of this and that…mainly that.
