They let me out of the garage
They’ve let me out of the garage – goodness knows why – but Patrick, Stace and I headed down to the London Business Centre over the weekend and met up with some great people who are there to make planning your trip nice and easy – but in the main we just liked to play [...]

Hack Day 2008 – rather Mashed 2008
So last year the BBC and Yahoo! ran the stunningly cool Hack Day London. It was a brilliant success, and frankly I’ve been biting at the bit to organise another one. Last week I got the nod from Ashley Highfield that the budget had been cleared and we could run another one! It’s very early [...]

Private Titus
The rather cool Richard Titus (man behind the design of the new BBC Homepage) has made the big time. Nope I’m talking about a quote in The Times, or a mention in the cirucluars, rather he has been quoted in Private Eye. Nick over at the BBC Internet Blog pointed it out and talked about [...]

Come on boys, it’s the new year, and time to play with yourself.
I’m serious. Go home tonight. Pull your draws down and get them out. Give them a good feel, really move them around in your hand and make sure they’re as they should be. If you need a hand… Everyman has a very good guide. Okay I know this post is a little strange, but as [...]

British Airways – hang your heads in shame.
This is Don Hatton - an absolute gent who’s got caught up in the Dakar Rally cancellation. He has a shed load of tickets from BA for various flights to and from Dakar – he now obviously doesn’t need most of them and all he needs to do is get home early – but from Lisbon [...]

Camping Espresso Review
Some people may say this is a luxury – but frankly there is nothing worse than waking up in a cold tent on a cold morning to be greeted by instant coffee or stale tea. The easy way to solve this problem? A camping espresso machine of course! Perfect for that first thing wake-me-up.

Dakar is gone and no-one cares
I’ve had to tune in to Rally RAIDio for the last couple of days to get the latest news and reactions to the Dakar being cancelled. What’s amazed me is the total lack of interest from main stream media. The BBC ran a story, and even as it was breaking ‘Terrorists stop Dakar’ it wasn’t [...]
