Geeky Stuff
Guitar Grade Trainer
Anybody that knows me will be aware that I always have an innate urge to tinker with things, and to learn whatever I can about whatever takes my interest at the time. You’d also know that I’m involved in IT based stuff, and take guitar grade exams every year for no real reason other than [...]
Halo ODST – Short and…Sweet?
Here’s an act of sacrilege for you; while I maybe a well into the realms of geekdom, there is one major discussion point that always gets the same reaction of disbelief from other similarly nerdy types. I hope you’re sitting down for this one: I hate Star Wars. There, I said it. It’s a paper-thin plot [...]
GN 2 SPCE, BRB IN 2029 LOL

Of course, everybody thinks that their own music taste is actually perfect, and it’s everybody else who just doesn’t understand [...]
Internet Procrastination V1.4 – TV Edition
If you’re anything like me, the last time you saw a proper TV listing magazine was a couple of years ago at Christmas, so you could partake in the annual scanning through how many repeats of The Great Escape and James Bond films would be shown when you were trapped with family members in a [...]
The Marmite of Websites
For technology geeks, the realisation of getting old doesn’t come with grey hair, or that you think that kids today dress weird, or that you can no longer bend to pick up a too-hastily-discarded doughnut off the floor without making the kind of grunting noises that you grandad used to make. It comes from that [...]
