I confess - games consoles are something I did not envisage writing about here. I thought I’d cover my thoughts and my life - gaming isn’t a gigantic part of either. But this week I’ve been gaming like it’s May 2002 (Gamecube release Europe), and surprisingly it isn’t the Nintendo Wii, the Gamecube’s popular successor, that I’m living on, but that devil-console - the Xbox.
Never would I, previously a Nintendo-devotee (Well, as much a devotee as one ... Read Full Story

It’s a sad day.
My younger brother has just sold our Wii.
It’s been ours since December ‘06. We had a wonderful time. Despite it’s repetitiveness and it’s low difficulty level, Wii Sports Tennis would never have got old. I guess I neglected it a little at points in the last year or so, but why?
He’s replaced with an Xbox (A cross-box, apparently?), which he says is better for two reasons: Call of Duty 4 and Xbox Live. Is this true? I haven’t had a ch... Read Full Story

I’ve been meaning to write a little something about this for weeks.
A few months ago I noticed Paul Stamatiou links to the top six most frequent commenters (Of the last 30 days) at his wonderful tech blog, one of my daily reads. Make it one of yours now!
It’s great to see that blogs, especially medium-sized and major-player blogs, do this. In addition to consistently producing excellent and stimulating content, I can’t think of a better way to repay your followers; it’... Read Full Story

I generally wouldn’t call myself a particularly proficient player of the piano - my lessons lasted for a month before I argued with my teacher and decided to stop (This was after an entire lesson was spent adjusting my posture. I have no doubt it’s important for those want to take classical piano seriously, but I wanted to take it entirely unseriously!). I still play for probably 30 minutes every week, but I just twiddle around. It’s purely for fun - nothing set, nothing fo... Read Full Story

Writing for other blogs, or having anothers content and input on your blog - interweaving - can be beneficial both to a blog and it’s owner. Writing for another site will hopefully cause you to think things through differently or try a fresh approach to your writing, and having another bloggers content on your blog can freshen it up by offering an alternative topic and/or style.

Are to-do list managers any good? (No!)
Firstly, for those that don’t know, let’s clarify: a to-do list manager is a to-do list which you maintain and manage on your computer. They’ve been around for a while, but recently services like Remember The Milk and I Want Sally have attracted more interest and publicity.
There are only two reactions to this idea, I think, and they come from two groups into which everyone can be divided: Those who take technology too far, and those... Read Full Story

Sadly, for me at least, and hopefully for you, I won’t be posting for a week or so as I’m off skiing at the wonderful Stubai Glacier, near Innsbruck, Austria. I’ll probably break a leg.
I’d love to hear from anyone else who’s been up near Stubai, so leave me plenty of comments and emails! Or just one or two might be nice …
See you in a week!

Cromer, a town quite close to my home, is recognised by many for it’s magestic, surprisingly massive church, a world famous (Or at least Norfolk-famous) chip shop and excellence in the crabbing industry. However, apart from it’s actually-very-beautiful-indeed sea view, which encapsulates a wonderful pier, it isn’t well recognised as a town of beauty: The main street is an ugly jumble of grey concrete - a nasty, grungy miscellany of traffic fumes and failed industrialism ...
