Got an iPhone with o2? You NEED to read this – UPDATED
With o2? Got an iPhone? You know you can make a phone call and still use mobile data, right? Well, supposed to. Ok, I’m awkward, I work in IT so I actually use this, but suppose someone rings me on my phone, I shove it on speakerphone, tap the home screen then go out to [...]
You cannot teach art
I originally set about writing this post after seeing some rather infuriating comments made by an individual I once knew. Granted the article I was going to write was inspired more so by anger and rage than a creative perspective, and so I wrote a full four page long entry, and discarded it hoping I [...]
NSFW: Why are UK post offices, so far behind other countries?
I must warn you before I go any further, this is a rant, a big one at that, it’s NSFW and will likely contain some swearing. I want to start by explaining my utter foul hatred of the UK post office, and the postal system. We are continually plagued with stories about postal workers striking, [...]
How computers took over cars? More like another rant on the BBC and their technology editors

If Arthur C Clarke was even close to being right, we would have orbital space stations that were publicly accessible, long range manned [...]

The importance of wifi
I made a commitment at one stage to be sat in a bar at least once every other week and sit and write a blog post. Well, here I am, finally, sat in the funky buddah in cardiff contemplating the world, life and well… my bottle of Peroni. It’s a strange experience really being sat [...]
The trouble with technology
It seems very apt that I should open with that line for my latest blog post given everything that has gone on lately. In fact over the past week or so I’ve been unfortunate enough to have three very expensive pieces of technology break on me. My Car My iPhone My Camera All in the [...]
