I confess, I followed most of the Google I/O Keynote Speech on Wednesday. The Verge sums it up), or you can watch the entire 3.5 hours below. It was at times very dull, but there was an awful lot of very clever stuff in there. It’s probably known that I’m a fan of what Google [...]

The number of beverage combinations a Starbucks till has to handle is HUGE. I wonder why their tills don’t rapidly descend into a chaotic mess of soft-buttons.

Lots of people have been taking up the new Vine app that lets you record 6 second videos and gotten really enthusiastic about it. Some people have done some really creative things with it and the 6-second limit kinda forces you to be creative. It reminds me of the early days of Twitter where people [...]

Oooh, so THAT’S what it should sound like
There’s something I’ve been meaning to do for years now. I’m quite partial to my music. I know that my taste’s aren’t amazing, but I like what I like. And sometimes – when the house is empty – I like to have it a bit louder. Now that Sally’s back at work and Isaac’s at [...]
Continue Reading →Success!
Well, that couldn’t have gone much better. Sally’s gone back to work now and I’m looking after Isaac on Wednesday mornings. And today has been a resounding success.
