Number one thing I don’t use my iPhone for
I’ve never used it as a music player! I shoved a few songs onto it when I got it first but I can’t remember the last time I fired up the iPod feature. And I have no idea what happened to the headphones that came with it. Lucas probably hid them somewhere I suspect. Probably [...]

A letter to our leaders who seem hell bent on destroying us
Be warned – This post contains some strong language. Anglo Irish Bank’s annual report released today states that it loaned €451m to 10 clients that are now more commonly referred to as “The Golden 10″. As anyone can tell you, 450 million is a significantally more than the previous estimate of €300m. And here is [...]

Adobe Flash is crap except for this hamster
In the normal run of things I rank Adobe Flash as one of the most hateful creations in the history of the planet, universe or whatever. Strangely my next most hateful creation is Adobe Acrobat Reader. Coincidence? Mind you, every now and then something comes along to remind you that maybe Adobe Flash is not [...]

I suppose it was inevitable
I’m bored of the internet or more precisely I’m bored of the world wide web. I think it is because I have got myself into a routine each day and by the time I have gone through all my regular sites in my usual order nothing has changed much before I start all over again. [...]
