The best thing I find is to take some time to spend alone, somewhere quiet and allow the noise generated by all those ideas shouting for attention to subside. It's not easy but it does help you…

At last, a positive selling point for those of us who use Windows, maybe they should add that to the list of features.

Lemur therapy

I have a long standing feeling about why there are far fewer Brits in therapy than (by movie and TV standards alone) our US brethren: Pubs.

Shooting things

First person arcade games more like.

I'm not a gun nut either, but I'd certainly like to fire one (in a range) at some point.

Great post, as usual.

Hot damn that's impressive.

Barbequing with the rich and famous

Now we know how they book guests for Jerry Springer - BBQs.

Dance like nobody’s watching

I got that quote in an email a while back, makes perfect sense to me. Basically: you only get one chance at life, live it to the full no matter what others think.

The last three days

Although a guy who doesn't find Dunstan particularly attractive at all (no offence, this is probably because I'm straight, but talk about competition if I did), I think the Gaynip Club is an…

I really enjoyed SF, except for walking all those hills. Nice sunshine, but a lovely breeze to cool you down.

Photo manipulation

Aside from the original grainy feel from the film, looking at the original, you can see what I think is strip lighting (or something similar, i.e. fluorescent).
