Dogs = Stupid (lolcat killer?)

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Just come across on new site on digg that looks like it could challenge icanhascheezeburger, home of the mighty lolcats. FailDogs. Check out these doozies:

Dog lovers maintain they love their pets for their loyalty and unswerving friendliness, but I think most people just admire their relentless stupidity. Add this to the fail pic meme and [...]

The best home-cooked Sirloin of my life

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Rather than go for the usual Friday night takeaway, last night I decided to spend the money on a good steak and cook it myself instead. There’s only so much Tandoori Chicken a man can eat. Been getting better at cooking these recently but last night’s had to be perfect, so I did a wee [...]

iPlayer for iPhone?

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Just read a post over at TUAW that has my geek juices flowing like booze in Parliament: the BBC iPlayer is coming to the iPhone. In a matter of weeks.
Be. Still. My. Beating. Heart.
If this proves to be true, my sleek little companion is about to become even mightier. With rumours that Apple are planning [...]

Yeti ASR-C Review

Friday, February 15th, 2008

I’ll start this review by saying that this isn’t the Yeti I came to test. No, that honour goes to the 575. But due to a cock up (i.e. me not realising I needed my own pedals, and it being lent to someone else by the time I got them) I was offered the chance [...]

Santa Cruz Nomad Review

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Of all the bikes I was testing, I thought this would be the one I’d most likely end up buying. Having read great reviews and been impressed with a Heckler, I was pretty keen to try it out. So off I set on the demo trail with high expectations. Unfortunately these were dampened fairly quickly [...]

Bike Demo Day, Glentress

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

For me, last Sunday was the best day of the year. Why? Because I tested over £20,000 worth of mountain bikes at the Glentress Bike Demo Day, that’s why! Organised by MBUK/Future, a whole load of UK MTB distributors got together and are touring the country promoting the new 2008 ranges . And what’s [...]

The Secret Of My Success.

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

I keep this chap on my desk at work. So far he’s came up with enough good ideas to get me promoted, and also managed to spread highly salacious (if untrue) gossip about colleagues who’ve been silly enough to incur my wrath.
Silly tin robot toys = excellent co-workers.

Twitterfeed

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

As you all know, I use Twitter fairly heavily to make my daily musings even more banal. As such I’m always on the lookout for new services that plug into it and make the spreading of said banalities even easier.
Hence this post. I found a new service called Twitterfeed, the idea of which is very [...]

Nom nom nom: Office pancakes

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

In what I hope will become a frequent occurrence, Dave just made pancakes in the office. Armed with a portable gas stove, a crepe pan and the basic ingredients, he boldy ventured to the bit near the fridge and cooked up the awesome treats. Tainted by some religious thing though they may be, this did [...]
