New TV (Sony Bravia 46″ KDL46W4000)

January 13th, 2009

Sony BraviaWell I am a very happy chappy at the moment, just picked up my new Sony TV. I tried to get the best value for money but at the same time not go for the lower end of that ‘value for money’ market.

I have had the telly for around 10 days now and can honestly say that I’m very happy with the results. I was a little dubious about buying a TV that I had only seen on the shop floor and also only a SKY HD signal when viewing it. But Read the rest of this entry »

Ok my second attempt at a review. This time an iphone app instead of a game (topple) like last time.

Twitpic – A great add-on for twitter

October 25th, 2008

twitpic-mainI was thinking that twitpic was such a great addition to twitter that it deserved it’s own little article on here.

Basically twitpic is an easy way to get a picture on the Internet whilst on the move. The added benefit is that other twitterer’s can comment on them.

I have added links to my twit pic page and also Stephen Fry’s. I added him because he gets 100’s more comments on his pictures than mine.

iPhone App Review : Topple

October 23rd, 2008

This is my first game review so apologies if it’s not great. I will be posting more reviews in the future so hopefully they will get better over time.

Review

The idea is to stack blocks up to a designated line and try to make sure they don’t topple over. It’s pretty simple to start with but on the later levels it does get more difficult. Not only does the height get bigger but the base goes from being flat to round.
It’s ok if you lose a block or two, but if you lose 4 then i’m afraid it’s game over.

You can get the general idea from the screenshots below, sorry I have no video will work on a video review for my next game review.

One thing I will say, because of buying this game I will think twice before purchasing another game. I do like it when a game producer gives out a lite version so you can test if it’s any good before forking out.

Diggnation Beers

August 20th, 2008

So I watched a few episodes of diggnation about month ago and decided I would go back to the very first episode and watch them all.

Old Diggnation BeersAt around the same time I found Diggnation I come across a site that recorded all the beers from the diggnation episodes but stopped at around episode 68. I decided to do something similar to that site. On the right you can see a screenshot, but unfortunatetly no link as the site has been down for quite few months.

But first if your not sure what Diggnation is… Read the rest of this entry »
