gadget of the week: MiLi power pack for iPhone

This morning I received this lovely little package from iWorld.co.uk containing the MiLi power pack for the iPhone and, thusfar, I am totally impressed by it.  Let me start by explaining.  The MiLi powerpack is an extra battery pack / charger for the iPhone.  It is a little case that you slip your iPhone into and […]

diving packing list

Things that I should try to remember for my next diving trip: 1) Tigi Catwalk Fast-Fixx Leave in Conditioner – This stuff is great for detangling hair following all that diving.  Just spray it in and voila no more super nasty sea hair 2) Suunto D4 Dive computer & instruction book & USB cable 3) Laptop […]

my fres-yes tribute playlist

I’ve been fiddling around with playlists on Spotify and came up with one that reminds me of teenage summer nights in Fresno. If you have Spotify, you can click here and listen to it. If you don’t, here is a run down of the tracks. Summertime – DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince Wild Wild […]

it only it weren’t true

I spent the last 3 mornings going to the council trying to get a parking permit.  3 very frustrating mornings.  And all I could think of everytime I went to talk to someone was Carol Beer from Little Britain.

red sea diving

update on twitter privacy

For the record, I was never trying to squat on the skype twitter name. I didn’t even remember that I had registered it. I love Skype and get along with everyone at Skype – so much so that I work for the founders still!  I would gladly hand over the name if I even remembered […]

an open letter to twitter – or how to violate someone’s privacy

Folks @ Twitter,  It has recently come to my attention that I have the twitter username skype registered under my name.  I set this account up a few years ago under my Skype email address blahblah@skype.net which is no longer in use.  I am happy to relinquish control of this name to the folks that […]

my top iPhone apps

Recent reports about iPhone app usage suggest that people love to download, but rarely actually use the stuff that they purchase. I tend to agree with this as I delete useless apps or don’t even bother playing with them after 1-2 times. That is why I have compiled a list of my favourite iPhone apps. […]
