I’ve made a Google Calendar listing each and every session for the 2011 Formula One season. As it stands, all 19 rounds and their sessions are listed in their local time – the calendar should convert them to your own time zone for you. If the Bahrain Grand Prix is reinstated or slotted in somewhere, […]
Yesterday, Japan suffered its seventh largest recorded earthquake off its east coast. Measuring 8.8 on the Richter scale, it also triggered a tsunami with 7 metre high waves. Nothing is yet clear about how many have been injured, killed or lost their homes. What is obvious for all to see is the vast devastation the […]
Recently I updated the site’s software to Movable Type version 5, which, by the way, is great. However, it contains some new features – such as in text link generation and a suggestion of potential tags you might want to use. I found this a very useful addition as I always struggle to think of […]
It was recently announced that to save money, the BBC are thinking of closing 6Music and the Asian network radio strations. I am a huge fan of 6Music – I have never listened to the Asian network – and would be most upset were it to not be around anymore. I can’t write about how […]
Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi-5… all social networking sites. Meaning that friends from school, family members, long-lost high school sweethearts of yesteryear, and weird people, can get in touch with again and see what you’re up to. But it’s not all stalker based nonsense, even in online gaming communities, people can develop circles of friends that […]

But knowing that you can word process on the move through an internet browser, is a piece of information worth having I think. And so steps in ThinkFree. You will need to register, then you can choose to […]
When you think of Easter, or Spring, you think of a nice green valley, full of rabbits and frolicking lambs bleating their little heads off. Maybe a small goat chewing the grass in a field. Maybe you just think of chocolate and getting a tiny bit fatter. But snow? This was the scene from my […]
I’ve meant to post this for a little while now. This was reported on February 12th, so I assume it happened the day before. Dramatic photos, but fairly amazing it wasn’t more serious. A man suffered serious head injuries when a bus diverted as a result of the weekend fire in Camden Market hit a […]
Back in 1809 on this day (a month ago – I was never any good at anniversaries…), Charles Darwin was born. As you probably know, Darwin was the father of evolution… Plus he had a great beard. Speaking of great beards, it turns out Abraham Lincoln was born on the same day. I wonder if […]
In a recent edition of Autosport I happened upon an advert for The Guardian‘s Formula One Preview supplement thingy… and it’s amazingly beautiful. A simple idea, create Britain‘s biggest and brightest hope for the title out of all 18 circuits currently used in the World Championship, but it’s how it’s done that really makes it […]
