So Sarah and I have been keeping busy with doing stuff and junk. Went to see the Big Bang Exhibition in the Science Museum (old photos though), getting a tour of the world’s oldest tunnel under a river, visited a sound in art exhibition in Spitalfields (and saw lots of other pieces outside the exhibition)… Read More

There is a really good article on one of Wired’s Blogs about gaming audiences and the Wii bubble bursting and its impact on the various sections of the market. It is a good read if only for the following which I very nearly LOLed Kids Like people, but smaller … Wish Pokemon were real. Brilliant.… Read More

This actually almost made me LOL. In some circumstances this could be considered true of me. But it’s rare, I swear it is. I honestly thought I was imagining that ads are louder than the programmes they “support”, apparently not. Apparently I am officially old. Sarah and I got tickets for QI next week from… Read More

So I just finished watching a live stream of The Pumpkins at Rock Am Ring and the footage and sound was awesome. Then I switched to this and heard the sweetest words I hope to hear live one day: Good evening we are Rage Against The Machine from Los Angeles, California They better get a… Read More

Toady tickets for The Smashing Pumpkins in The Shepherd’s Bush Empire and … I didn’t get tickets 🙁 Maiden in Brixton Academy went onsale too but got a ticket for that so that makes 10 times for them now on par with The ‘Horn but that won’t last as I’m off to see them in… Read More

I’ve been to a few films this week to keep my self busy, I mean the cinema is only a 20min walk away so were they any good? Magicians – Starring Mitchell & Webb of Peepshow/PC & Mac ads in the UK. It is a tale of a magic double act which through an incident… Read More

This is an interesting article about a photographer, her photos, an unscrupulous company(allegedly) and how Yahoo/Flickr are morons(not allegedly). Recently I was told what the first image on the web was. As you all know the world wide web was developed at CERN in Geneva. As a large particle physics laboratory the first image is… Read More

.. so I’m down one MacBook. It’s off with the lovely people in the Apple store in Regent St being looked at. They are replacing the keyboard etc and as long as there is no damage due to my orange juice it will be all free so fingers crossed but I didn’t notice anything other… Read More

BWHAHAHA: http://kotaku.com/gaming/… This is a really good article on who invented video gaming as we know it 40 years ago. It reminds me of a book called Game Over I read years ago which came free with Arcade a multi platform games magazine I’d link to it but the only book I can find online… Read More

So I went to see Spiderman 3 at the weekend. I’ve had drunken conversations about this film with nerds and we all agreed that there COULD be issues with the villain count and the fact he needs to gain and lose the new suit before a particular villain can even be introduced. Now for me… Read More

So I’m back in London after a week away in Dublin and Manchester. I’ve been catching up with a few things around the place but mostly taking it easy. Was in the Apple Store today and they will replace the front plate once the get the part in and will do it for free assuming… Read More

So I’m still in Manchester with work at the Open Grid Forum and Enabling Grids for E-scienceE User Forum. It’s been kind of fun at the end of the day but the actual day is LONG usually starts before nine and ends around half seven. After that we go eating and drinking which is good.… Read More
