I’m sorry but what?
So, I’m a bit of a gamer. Well, I like to game a lot, really, but I find that my free time is more often dedicated to crafting than gaming, and that way I can watch my fiancé game, so it’s all good.
Anyway, I jumped on to IGN to check out [...]

My annoying aunt… well, she’s not always annoying, but she’s sure as heck being annoying at the moment.
Basically, my aunt and I don’t see each other very often. She’s a nice person, mostly, but she’s not my kind of person. She almost never calls, almost never emails, and if I do email she doesn’t respond [...]

I couldn’t resist throwing my opinion out there like so many other bloggers.
Okay so run down just in case you’ve missed all this, which would be bloody amazing because the story is everywhere, but here it is anyway. In mid-December, Google noticed that someone was trying to attack it. No news there, that happens [...]

Or somewhere in the middle?
My fiancé and I got to talking about those ‘naked scanner’ things they’re still trialling in Manchester Airport and whether we thought they were appropriate or not, so I got to looking it up afterwards.
My initial reaction was like that of many fellow Brits, disgust at a government gone mad [...]

You think you have it all covered, but nooooo, beastly tech stuff always requires more!
In this case I’m referring to HDTV. I have a seriously awesome television that my fiancé and I bought earlier this year. We’re really happy with it, though we did spend more than we originally intended, partly because the sales person [...]

It’s something I’ve only recently really noticed, but it’s really frustrating none the less.
I’ve got a pretty darn good net connection, to be honest. I have cable broadband, which also gives me access to a VoIP telephone system and IPTV, which is all really fantastic. I love my set up. I’ve got a 300MB [...]

We all have ways of wasting our time that really aren’t that important but we like to spend time on… most of the things I do when left to my own devices fall into this category of life…
For one, I am a user of an internet forum – who isn’t? – and I like to [...]

I was looking over film posters that were for sale when I was at the cinema the other night, and noticed one by the name of Coraline. It looked interesting, from the poster, so I looked up the trailer on YouTube when I got home.
The film came out back in May, but apparently I missed [...]

I happened to be looking over some of that net stuff I had researched for business purposes… and boy howdy am I glad I didn’t do all that! What was I thinking!? That is way, way too much work for me to want to bother with. I am so glad I didn’t go ahead with [...]

I was reading a news article the other day about surveillance on the internet. The inventor of the internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, said that he believes governments and companies should be limited in how much they monitor users on the internet.
It’s an interesting notion, as he goes on to talk about the internet being [...]
