geeky projects

I’m having a semi-geeky weekend that consists of watching Jerry Springer and working on some dorky projects. What do I have going on in the land of Oz? 1) Bought yet another Blackberry Pearl 8120 and have set it up with the Exchange server 2) Working on a website for a friend 3) Researching coupling […]

am i blind?

My gripe today is in regards to web site usability. I woke up this nice sunny morning in London (a rarity indeed for the month of January), rolled down to Starbucks to get my latte, came back and sat down to a leisurely catch up of blogs and news which inevitably ended up with me […]

is it xmas again so soon?

OMG. It is like Santa has come all over again. I am so excited that I can hardly contain my nerdiness right now. As you all know, I’m a proud Crackberry addict.

bring alf back

See what I mean when I say that the 80s were such an innocent time? I mean, how else would you pitch a tv show of a talking alien puppet name Gordan Shumway who hides in a middle class white family’s suburban home and has a penchant for eating cats in this day and age? […]

The more I use the Kindle, the more I am in awe of it. The device is so simple, but it really does feel like reading a book. The text is so completely readable and my eyes are not strained at all. I wanted to know more about the e-paper technology so I went onto […]

ultimate geek toy

Our lovely Natasha got me the ultimate geek leaving gift. An electronic bubble wrap keychain from Japan! It is awesome! If you ever had a thing for popping bubble wrap, then you need to get one of these keychains. It has 8 bubble-like buttons on it that are oddly similar to the feeling of bubble […]

rip netscape

I have to admit that I have a soft spot in my heart for good old Netscape. It was the first place that I worked in 1997 at the tender young age of 21. At the time that I was at Netscape (NSCP) the company was still booming and the people that I met there […]

waterproof kindle

I love taking bubble baths. And when I am in the bathtub I enjoy reading a good book. The only problem is that I usually get the book slightly wet and am always afraid that I am going to drop it in the water. Today I took a bath with my new Kindle. At first […]
