And so here is 2010, the year we … well…
…yeah I’m still struggling to fill in that one little tag line. Fifteen years ago we had such aspirations and hopes for our technology that we forgot somewhat to actually do it. If Arthur C Clarke was even close to being right, we would have orbital space stations that were publicly accessible, long range manned [...]
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 [...]
Do you still write?
I know it sounds strange, but how many of you actually still write? Or keep a little notepad or book? I have an iPhone, and the ability to dictate, export my memos to transcripts, and even sit here and type my emails and notes yet I still have a little notebook that I carry around [...]
Why have these things never caught on?
Sometimes someone creates something, a service, or a piece of hardware, that is just completley revolutionary, and completley brilliant, but for some reason it does not catch on.

Being fed up is not something I like to be. True there are times that venting frustration and even anger are well worth it, and somewhat satisfying, but right now I’m fed up. Unfortunatley I have become a casualty of the recession, being screwed over and made redundant.
True It has given me much time to reflect on things, plus begin work on certain things that I am vastly behind on (like sorting out my website) but other than that……
Going Retro
When people say going retro, they usually means something like flared jeans, bad nightclubs, big hair styles, strange guitar riffs & are highly wasted trousers that quite literally go up to the neck.

To me the word retro wrote means something completely different…..
A Lesson In Memory Cards
And a happy new year to you all. Let’s hope everyone had a fabulous christmas break. I’m excited to see what challenges 2009 bring me, and I hope you are too.
On to the title of this post. A Lesson In Memory Cards.
In my last post, I promised to be taking pictures of the Winter Wonderland in Cardiff. And I did! I was treated to an array of spectacular scenes which I happily snapped and shot, getting some of my best work yet…. This is an archive post from the old website..
