Is it a Zen thing?

May

2013

Well that was all a bit underwhelming. waited with baited breath for months and we get presented with…. A rather plain looking boring black box much akin to the early Media PC’s. OK, so it’s got a slit in the front for an obvious DVD to schlide into, but other than that it’s a bit…. ...

Google Maps and StreetView

May

2013

So my daughter and I were perusing Google Maps today, looking at some cool stuff, then we decided to look at our address. In the imagery from 2009 my Simpsons Sky van was sat outside my house. In the latest view, it’s been updated and I’m obviously at work. So we set about looking at ...

Sticker Bomb!

Apr

2013

Well if that title didn’t get some followers from the CIA, MFI and MI5, I’ll have to be more creative. Anyhoo, following on from my recent acquisition of my GoPro, I wanted it to be a bit more .. errr.. less drab. OK, so it’s a marvellous piece of tech, really is awesome. So I set ...

Uprising : Kickin’

2013

Yes, folks… I’m all a bit excited! New DLC for BLOPS2 (we’ve covered this already, click the BLOPS cloud tag for more info!) and it’s maps, but most importantly, it’s FIRING RANGE!! So the new DLC will be landing on the 16th, just a coupla days away, with a new Zombies Map / Game Mode ...

New Beginnings

Apr

2013

A while ago, I was working on a 1989 VW Scirocco. Frankly, the intention pathed road to hell consisted of me stripping it down to a bare shell, preparing “stuff” for a complete and very special rebuild. It was going to have a 2L engine, swanky self built interior, a nice colour scheme and be ...

Car Buying

Jan

2013

So some of you may know I’ve been getting a replacement car recently…. well, kinda. I haven’t picked it up yet, but thought I’d share some of the resources that I’ve used in selecting and buying the said motor. To fill the void, we currently have a Peugeot Partner Combi Escapade 2.0 HDi on an ...

Get LOST? maybe not…

Jan

2013

This is a first review on the site of an App. This one’s about an app that I’ve been using on my iPhone for a few years now. Just to paint the initial picture, I work for a National (Germany makes it international, but that’s splitting hairs!) Satellite production and distribution company in the UK, ...

Just Pathetic

Jan

2013

Yes folks… I have a bee in my bonnet. It all stems from an article by a jumped up middle aged woman, I’m not going to insult her, I’ll let the comments at the bottom of her tripe do that, as they are certainly sufficient to prove my point time and again. You can get ...

Cree UltraFire Ebay Special

Jan

2013

So I thought I’d share with you something I bought off ebay recently. It’s a Cree UltraFire, and if you’re wondering what Cree is… it’s the LED on the front end of the business and that’s it. Anyways, it cost the princely sum of £3.99 delivered. Admittedly it took nearly a month to arrive, but ...

Fancy a Challenge?

Jan

2013

Yes, folks, if you have a screw loose and fancy a 9 month sabbatical, you too can become a reporter for that most distinguished of round the world yacht races, the Volvo Ocean Race. So what is it, exactly? Simply, it’s hooking up with a load of folks you don’t really know, eating food that ...
