Life's about experiences. These are mine.
I wrote recently about the impact of the new Google to Outlook synchronisation tool on the third party supplier SyncMyCal. I felt that Google’s free tool would cause significant difficulties for SyncMyCal who were selling their tool at £25 a pop. It seems that SyncMyCal has a bit of a card up it’s collective sleeve …
A few weeks ago when I was having problems with Outlook I mentioned in passing emoze and said I would blog about it at a later date, well that time has come. Emoze is a service that allows you to have your email pushed to your mobile device (Symbian or Windows Mobile). It comes in …
Been playing around with Twitter recently to try and understand what the value of it is and how I might make it work for me. Right now I can’t get over the thought that no-one is going to be interested in what I have to say. Then again I slavishly work on these blog entries …

So the top instruments for boys are: electric/bass guitar (81%), tuba (775) and drums (75%). For girls the list is harp (90%), flute (89%) and voice (80%). To …

This has just appeared on the wires purportedly having been posted by Sir Richard Branson to the Official Google Blog. The post talks about a joint venture set up between Google and Virgin to put a human settlement on Mars. Well, if anyone outside of NASA had the funds to do it these two would …
The picture on the left is of a small piece of plastic that comes with the Apple iPod Touch. Initially I had no idea exactly what it was for and the lack of any instructions meant that for quite a while it just sat in the box. Then I also noticed that the box stated …
A few weeks ago our eldest son wrote to Kerrang magazine stating that he had been to see Zebrahead in concert a couple of times and on both occasions the friends that he had gone with had come away with some piece of memorabilia. Basically he felt that this wasn’t right as it was him …

This is great news for the following reasons: 1) no more adverts breaking up the action 2) Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” will (probably) return as the theme music. Lots of people (well my Dad actually) …
