PS3 Slim Exchange Rate
It pains me when reading about the $300 PS3 Slim that purchasing the very same PS3 Slim Console from Amazon.co.uk will cost me the considerable sum of £249.99. Correct me if I’m wide of the mark, but isn’t the exchange rate about $1.65 to the pound sterling? I know that we’ve always suffered from the…

Holiday in Brief
Oxford was great – we’ll definitely go back. On the day after arrival we had a good wonder round. I was disappointed I couldn’t get into the Bodleian Library, but otherwise an enjoyable day wandering. Drank coffee on the site of the oldest coffee house, meandered through a few colleges, and visited Gropec*nt Lane (whoops,…

Tweet Tweet
I have been struggling to find a Twitter client I really like for the Mac. For the iPhone, Tweetie seems like a decent choice, but it isn’t free. I rather had my heart set on finding something free I could use on the laptop. So far, I’ve tried Beak – which looks good, Twhirl –…

Demonic Intent: Round 2
Following ‘Demons’ episode 2, it occurs to me that while the series has the money to spend on CGI and fine location, they seem to lack any decent fight choreography. When I could wrestle free of my own personal demons (manifest in Philip Glenister‘s accent), it seemed that both set pieces in Episodes 1 and…

Don’t Blink
Christmas morning… a time for presents, heaps of waste paper, and embarrassing pictures of people gurning with their presents clutched in hand. Why, however, do people expect you to smile and present yourself eyes-wide-open when they’re shooting with an ultra bright flash. You can’t reasonably expect people to overcome their natural instinct to shield their…
