So my clubnight Laundry licked off again last weekend. We’re really happy with the venue, it’s a cavernous basement with old style charm but perfectly accessible for a club setup with two interconnecting rooms with a bar that stretches between the two.
We kicked off at 10pm and the place filled up really quickly. Giles [...]

If you are still using the windows default Internet Explorer to browse the internet, shame on you, its a truly shockingly bad piece of software and should be banned.  Firefox has been very popular for a long time and when it first had a big release I thought it was the best piece of open [...]

Salesforce have just announced a new Enterprise Collaboration playform. It’s kinda like Google Wave meets Facebook + Twitter. Looks very impressive!

I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets confused sometimes by political terms – even ones as simple as the differnce between Left Wing and Right Wing.
This is a nice little image that makes it all pretty clear. Click on the image for a larger version.

This is just a design concept video, but the future is really not that far away.

Pretty cool.

I love Google. They are a fantastic forward thinking and innovative company who have taken a fresh approach to almost everything they do, and excel at most of it too. From their humble start as a simple internet search engine, they have grown into a monolithic monopoly beater – by giving the people want they [...]

Wow how things have changed! This is the first ever iPod commercial, boasting “1000 Songs in your Pocket” which was very impressive, and you only had t carry around something the size of a small brick to have them!

I do love the tune though -”Take California” by the Propellerheads – what a legendary tune, and [...]

This car was 163k when it was bought new. Was 110k in another garage a few months ago. Now its down to €87,450 – but the sticker in the window says €77,750???
€86,000 of a loss since then, and it’s only done 8,000 miles? That’s over €10 a mile depreciation. Ouch!
