Nokia E63 – Poor mans iPhone alternative
I would love an iPhone, most people know this, but unfortunately practicalities stand firmly in my way, too much cost for not enough usage.  As it was time to renew my contract or ditch it I decided to look into the upgrades I could get, with I must say an air of reluctance.
I was paying aro ...
World of Warcraft, the Hollywood expansion…
Gamer or not you know about World of Warcraft, its just everywhere. Â Geeky or cool every one's senses will be even more overwhelmed by the Blizzard success when it finally comes to the big screen.
Yes that's right, somewhere in the pipeline there is a World of Warcraft movie. Â Now we all know the ...
Fantastic Fractals
I was never any good a maths in school, I managed to scrape through my final exam with a grade higher than I was predicted... I got an "E".
Enough about my sorry past! Â I love Fractals! Â A fractal is a geometric pattern that is repeated at every scale and so cannot be represented by classical g ...
Short tough guys…
Mini Ninjas, with no pun intended, kinda snuck up on me...  I was on my beloved steam account and noticed a new demo available.  After installing playing through the demo, I found I was left wanting more.  Mini Ninjas is a cell shaded ninja RPG style adventure game.  Its a complete mix of funny ...

I came across this website and thought I would share it. 43 Things is a site that enables you to create a list of things you would like to do, big things mostly, although they can be anything...
So whether you want to exercise more, or be the first civilian on the moon, this site helps you to d ...
The Cat Came Back
In the wonderful world of twitter, I was reminded of a cartoon I watched (thanks @maddisondesigns), must have been in the mid 90's, of a cat who, well, just kept coming back...
So after finding the clip on YouTube I thought I would do a little research...
The Cat Came Back was actually a book ...
Indie Game: Flatspace
"Flatspace is a space trading and exploration game for Windows PC. 3D with a top down viewpoint, the game has elements of classic space trading games like Elite and Rogue-like games such as Nethack." Â That's what it says on the tin, and that's what you get! Â Its quite fun actually :D
I have alw ...
Free Music Album: Undertheigloo
I found Undertheilgloo a few years ago now, I bought their first album, well actually I had their first album given to me by my sister for my birthday... Â I loved that album, especially the song "Donnie" so I was excited to learn they were recording a new album.
The new album is here! Â Not only ...
Embedded video… in a printed magazine!
Well we all knew it was coming, technology has been heading this way for a while and finally its hear.  Now the opportunities with this kind of media I believe are obviously limitless.  You have the best of both worlds, one the physical "held in your hand" nice feeling of printed media and the a ...
Vortex Cannon & other things from Bang!
The BBC have recently launched a new science programme, its kind of a cross between Top Gear and Tomorrows World (for those who remember that...).  Each week they do some cool experiments and generally get to play with science.
A few weeks ago they made a huge vortex cannon to knock over some ...
First Person Remote Control!
Most people want to fly, but they either can't because as a human, flapping the arms doesn't work and/or they don't want to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.  They could start to learn to fly small planes, but then most don't get the same kind of bonus' the city bankers do...
How about ...
Rob Recommends: Team Fortress 2
I thought seems as though I am a little bit of a gamer, that I could possibly pass on some recommendations for games that I love, as a kind of small review.
TF2 is awesome. Â Simply awesome. Â It's one of the funniest first person shooters I have ever played. Â The humour is excellent along with ...
The Gaming Evolution Revolution!
There is a kind of craze that is happening in the gaming world at the moment, and that is browser based gaming. When you think of browser based gaming you might thing of those flash games you used to play when your boss isn't watching - so many memories - but you would be wrong. It's stepped up a ...
All Hail The Mario Theme Tune!
The Mario theme tune is something that has invaded my life since I first played on my NES. Â The duel cart with duck hunt and Mario Bros - you remember!
This tune has been so influential that I even find myself humming it randomly, and it seems I am not alone in this. Â We all know Mario Bros is ...
