Here’s a small selection of recent geocache successes, from Birmingham, Warwick, London and Daventry so far. If you’re unfamilar with Geocaching, but like geeky techy related treasure hunting then check out http://www.geocaching.com/ It’s basically a high tech treasure hunt with over a million varying sized ‘caches’ hidden worldwide. Each cache is placed on the map [...]

Simple. Every day of the world cup to cook something based on the cuisine of one or more of the countries playing http://worldcupfood.wordpress.com

I know I’ve posted similar videos before, but I came across this one from a friend and since it refers directly to web design, and something I’ve heard a thousand times before, I thought it best to share this. Not directed at anyone in particular, unless you know who you are. Nuff said. Shorter than [...]

If you know me pretty well you’ll already be familiar with the fact that every year myself and two good friends collaborate on a story together. They’re by no means literary masterpieces but they serve an entertaining purpose, for us at least. It began six years ago when we decided to try writing a book [...]

This was flying around the office today and made the geeks amongst us smile. As simple as it is it really does sum up what most of us do who don’t know how to do something on a computer. If you’re one of the ones doing the ‘asking’ then why not try following this diagram, [...]

Today Louise came across a double page spread in Visit Birmingham’s Pocket Guide for 2009. It basically gives you an example 48 hour itinerary for a weekend in Birmingham. Reading it reminded me just how much to do there is in Birmingham, but looking at it in more detail I considered; could I afford this [...]

Thoroughly enjoyed both the live radio commentary and the final few hours of action itself over in the Jewelery quarter this morning. A storming finish to the 24 hour scalextric race organised by the excellent Stan’s Cafe. Some photos shown below. From the Stan’s Cafe website: 24 Hour Scalextric @AE Harris, 13th and 14th June [...]

Happy Easter all, today’s Fazeley Egg Hunt went well. In the morning myself, Kam and Chris hid somewhere in the region of 25-30 chocolate eggs around Fazeley Studios in Digbeth. Some cream eggs, some caramel and the top prizes – Kinder Eggs! On twitter and around the studios grapevine word got out and people went [...]

OK, I’m familar with Vodka, but tonight I’m enjoying a glass of red Moldovan (previously known as Bessarabia as part of the Russian Empire) wine. It’s not bad actually. A guest delivery care of our regular box from Laithwaites. No taste of potatoes, vodka or communist idealism at all. Tastes like red wine actually. Chin [...]

By the time you read this the site background could well have changed, in fact, I may put it on random and change it all the time, but as of writing I thought I would explain my choice of current background image. This is a photo by a colleague of mine here in Birmingham – [...]

These pics are quite old now, but I came across them whilst sorting through some old folders of this and that on an old external drive I had. They’re nothing more than scanned in doodles really, so don’t ask me what they are about. I just thought I’d put them on here in a sort [...]
