Life's about experiences. These are mine.
It looks like that 2008 is going to be the year that personalisation really takes off. The picture on the left is the cover of a magazine sent to me by a software reseller and the cover has my name printed on to the front as one of the lead stories. It is very eye …
I have recently been trying out version 2 of Orb. I really like the idea of being able to get access to music/pictures/videos etc. held on my home PC anywhere in the world and on pretty much any device. While I ran my trial I was able to get access on other PCs, my iPod …
So the new Liberal Democrat leader is in hot water already with the “revelation” that he does not believe in God. No sooner had he answered the question than he was having to beat a hasty retreat and saying things like that he had “enormous respect for people who have religious faith” and that his …
So Kimi Raikkonen is the new Formula One world champion, or is he… As I write this the McLaren team have appealed the decision not to disqualify the BMW & Williams team for being found to have fuel that is more than 10 degrees outside ambient temperature.
