The other week, someone asked me if I could help set them up with something that would allow them to access their computer remotely from anywhere in the world. As luck would have it, I’d just seen an advert on TV here that day for GoToMyPc, a piece of software which allows you to [...]

On a non-irritating musical note, I’d just like to add that whilst the current single “In the morning” is doing the business for Razorlight in the charts, the stand out track from their new album is what will be the new single “America”.
Yes, ok .. so it’s called ‘America‘ and that’s where I happen to [...]

One day last week, Leigh has the TankMobile® for the the afternoon, but drops me off downtown so that I can do a few things. “I’ll call you on my way back and pick you up if you want” she says “Ok, but I might try out getting the bus back - it’s about time [...]

When Leigh and I met last year - it was at a wedding where I was an usher and she was the photographer. I had a diddy little Nikon Coolpix for a camera back then, and like all good wedding guests/participants, I made sure I snapped away taking piccies. Maybe I take [...]

1. I’ve now been in America for 78 days. In all this time, I still have not learnt that the driver sits on the left of the vehicle here. Twice today I walked back to the car and went to the wrong side.
2. The line markings they have here in the road are crazy. [...]

I’ve gotten used to being asked for my ID now. Hell, I’ve even gotten used to saying “gotten”, but I still can’t getten over some of the other oddities they have here.
My favourite tipple on a hot summers day or at a party is a nice shot of Southern Comfort (’SoCo’ as I’ve seen [...]

I’m going to have to revise my list of ‘Things that I can’t get here’, because slowly one by one - they’re all being found, and I’m starting to realise that if I look hard enough (and am prepared to pay enough), then you can get your hands on most things.
Things you can get:
Ribena: Check, [...]

From posting nine times in seven days I suddenly found myself not posting anything for over a week - and I’ve no idea why! So five quick posts - one a day all this week - guaranteed. Honest.
So today’s post is snappily entitled:
“Advantages of being engaged to a professional photographer (Part One)”
The best reason: [...]

For one of my birthdays many years ago, I got a “How to interperet your dreams” book as a present. I can’t remember who got it for me, I just thought it was quite exciting, because I thought that I really would be able to analyse my dreams.
But of course these books are a load [...]

I have no idea whether the UK is showing the same adverts as I’m seeing here in the US at the moment, but knowing Apple, they’re probably world wide.
Geeky guy representing a Windows PC. Cool dude representing an Apple Mac. And yesterday I found myself on the Apple website looking at some of [...]

In the small town of Camden, New Jersey in the late 1920’s a young man called Richard Hollingshead decided to find a way of combining his two passions in his life : Automobiles and movies.
As an experiment, Richard nailed a screen to several trees in his backyard and projected images onto it from a 1928 [...]

Thirteen weeks, and we’re down to the final epsiode again.
Whilst Tennant I think is a better actor at being the Doctor, I do think that the storylines generally for season two haven’t been as good as the ones we had in season one.
Cybermen AND Daleks in tonights big finale? I mean, come on … what [...]
