Canon PowerShot SD750

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Just received the new camera I ordered last week. With the busy Memorial Day weekend I’d actually forgotten about it, so it was a pleasant surprise when the DHL van showed up earlier this morning with the package. I’m no photographer, so this fully featured point and shoot should be perfect for my needs. It’s […]

Yahoo! Music Free & Legal Lyrics Search

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I really like music, but can never understand what the singer or the band is saying. To make matters worse, I seem to be the only one in my household that suffers with this affliction. Luckily for me, Yahoo! has just launched an all new Lyrics Search feature as part of their Yahoo! Music offering. […]

Gmail file attachments now 20MB

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

I must admit, I’ve never seen a tortoise move this fast before. Has to be the coolest tortoise ever!
To all my regular readers (both of you): I don’t usually post videos, but just couldn’t resist this one. I’ll get back to my normal boring posts about MINIs and running and Firefox soon….

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Who doesn’t love a competition? Who doesn’t love to be a winner? Who doesn’t love getting something for nothing? (well not quite nothing, but you get the idea)
Currently there are several online competitions doing the rounds. Here, in no particular order, are 3 of the best:

Swim the Atlantic with Google Sarcasm

Friday, May 11th, 2007

No, Google Sarcasm isn’t a new Google Product. I was messing around on Google Maps last night after reading this post on the One Eyed View blog. Although I now live in Virginia Beach in the USA, I was born in Cardiff, Wales and was curious to see what directions Google would throw back at […]

Due to my injured foot, I’ve been doing quite a lot of biking recently. With my new Stumble Upon Firefox extension, I’ve been “Stumbling Upon” all kinds of cool web sites - one of the latest is the BikeFurniture.com site which surprising sells furniture made from bicycle parts!
This particular model is the Vector Series Lounge […]
