Lets discuss the Lost finale!  (spoilers ahoy) I think the most succinct summary I’ve read for the Lost finale that sums up the general feeling is: “The problem with Lost has always been that the fans watch the show for the plot, and the creators think they watch it for the characters.” – Chris Suellentrop, journalist. Which is more or ...

Australia and The Rest of the World had their iPad launch day on Friday 28th May.  Always a sucker for Day One launches, I went along with Jen to the Chermside Apple Store for an 8 am opening.  We got there around 7ish and there were about 150 people in front of us. As launch day line up crowds go, ...

We had one of our big company work parties this Friday.  Unfortunately, it was a bittersweet occasion as it was also a night to say farewell to over 150 of our staff who are being made redundant over the next two months.  Whilst I am one of the lucky ones and my position is unaffected, for some of my very ...

This week (depending on which country you lived in) brought to a close the popular television series Lost.  I have a lot of fond memories of both the show and the countless hours we spent speculating on the assorted mysteries that it served up each week.

“They trust me.  Dumb fucks” – Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO. Facebook privacy, or lack of it, is a bit of a hot topic at the moment.  Once the darling of social networking media, Facebook and its creator Mark Zuckerberg have come under increasing criticism for its lax approach to user privacy and the difficulty in closing a Facebook account.  Not ...

I woke up this morning to read the following messages on my Facebook account. Look’s like Britain has itself a new Conservative leader! Oh well, I guess Pat’s happy.

There is something very broken with the EPL. about 13 hours ago from TweetDeck – Mike’s Twitter Feed Good, so it wasn’t just me that felt complete ambivalence towards Chelsea and the general state of the EPL.  I can’t remember the last time we had a season loaded with so many 6-0’s, 7-1’s, 8-0’s.  The gulf between the top teams ...
