dear bose customer service,
I received a letter in the post telling me that my order can not be processed. I would like to point out how completely worthless your e-commerce operation is and hope that you will review your pathetic processes in order to fix the ridiculousness of your current system. 1) My order could not be processed […]
kindle DX wishlist
I’ve been thinking more and more about the Kindle DX and why I don’t find it particularly useful for myself. This then got me thinking about it from a student’s perspective and how it could be useful. At the end of my internal brainstorm, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. In […]
Kindle DX – initial thoughts
Following the success of the Kindle 2, Amazon has announced the Kindle DX today. It is a giant sized Kindle – 2 times the size of the original.

it only it weren’t true
I spent the last 3 mornings going to the council trying to get a parking permit. 3 very frustrating mornings. And all I could think of everytime I went to talk to someone was Carol Beer from Little Britain.
red sea diving
Just returned from a great week on the Red Sea aboard the MV Juliet liveaboard. It was an amazing time! I love living on a boat and doing nothing but diving, eating, drinking and sleeping. Doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks to the Shorncliffe Dive crew for letting me join them on the trip […]
update on twitter privacy
For the record, I was never trying to squat on the skype twitter name. I didn’t even remember that I had registered it. I love Skype and get along with everyone at Skype – so much so that I work for the founders still! I would gladly hand over the name if I even remembered […]
