I recently acquired an iPod Touch and I was over the moon to say the least, with my new toy. Sadly after 4 days of very light usage and I mean light because I haven’t had much opportunity to play with it, the screen has gone all funny. There are plenty of stories out there…

Just over a week ago I celebrated that annual cusp again, my birthday. Little did I know on that day that the goddess of all that are nerdish gizmo gifts (i.e. Siân) would have pre-ordered an 16GB iPod Touch for me. It arrived yesterday and I have to say that I am simply blown away…

Those who know me will know that I have 28 days left before I undertake my greatest physical goal ever – to run the Dublin marathon. For years I have been a regular 10K runner, mostly happy to do so but never going beyond that distance. Yesterday I went out for a run, just under…

Yes, the truth is still out there; in Ireland! Just read in the Times this morning that a dossier that was kept by the Irish defence forces for 37 years has been released, including details of UFO sightings around the emerald isle. The most comical entry in the dossier must be a sighting reported by…

Ya scurvy dawgs! Get thee to the nearest tavern and be loaded to the gunnels with a fathom of ale, less ye be sleeping in Davey Jones’ locker. Yaarrrgh!! Such is my obligation every year, to remind everyone of International Talk Like a Pirate Day – have a good one!

Google has just added its much awaited Presentations to its current offering of Docs & Spreadsheets. I read this announcement on the Google blog earlier and just gave it a whirl. First impressions, yes, I’m impressed. Obvious omissions are a big selection of templates and slide transitions but additional features such as webcasting your presentation…

Scarcely can I believe reading the headlines today that Scottish rally legend Colin McRae was tragically killed in a helicopter accident yesterday, along with his young son and two family friends. Such tragedy casts my mind back to the day when I heard about the death of Joey Dunlop, another daredevil of the racing circuit.…
