Doing my occasional trawl of DPReview, after a slew of their PMA entries have just flooded in from the RSS feed, I came across this article which intrigued me:

Dave (of being my officemate and letnash’s fiancee fame) is a filthy Sony/KonicaMinolta user and as such I keep an eye out for stories that I can [...]

So, to use the parlance, Rez HD has dropped. The shiny people of XBox Live Arcade have let it appear and it now resides on my XBox 360 awaiting darkened room controller manipulation.
Rez is a strange game in the development of my video game joy, being a dividing line for various reasons. I returned to [...]

Last week (yes, this is a little late but I am a) busy and b) lazy) I was invited along to my first press conference – a nice PR company had recognised the excellence of my mastery of the photographic art (ie. found me by accident on flickr) and invited me and some of the [...]

This is maybe the most excellent news story of the year:

That may not be saying much, given that we are only three weeks in, but I suspect this one may stay up there for a bit. I’ve even seen it in a few places so it might even be true. However, while traversing the office-station [...]

A selection of things occurred this week in my often more interesting seeming than it really is life. Here are some of them.
Firstly, the piccy above is from the shiny new relaunched Launchpad at the science museum. The lovely people at the Dana Centre organised an “adults only” evening last week, allowing me and a [...]

I want a scary-eyed Jesus rucksack now. I would install laser pointers to make the ultimate laser-eyed scary Jesus, which probably means I shouldn’t get a scary-eyed Jesus rucksack.
I am with worry – Rock Band comes out soon and I have already started practising. “But how?” I hear you crying, in a slightly disbelieving and [...]

So, last night I foolishly went on an overnight photowalk with the flickr posse (as organised by the scarily efficient Mushroom and Gadgets). We started wandering at about 6pm, from the Old Cheshire Cheese, and I ran away at about 4.30am when we we got close enough to a relevant bus stop on Oxford Street [...]

This morning I was hit by a strange urge to listen to an album I haven’t heard for ages, so I thought I’d share. I give you Brian May (famed for his contribution to Queen as well as his role as Angie, Dirty Den’s long suffering wife in Eastenders) – “Resurrection” from the album “Back [...]

Finally. It has taken a surprisingly long time to get my hands on this master piece. The research, the searching, the blood, the sweat, the tears.

I have now seen Gleaming the Cube.
Three years of it sitting unfulfilled on my dvd rental list, recent popular titles passing it by no matter how highly I rated my [...]

As I mentioned a couple of posts back, I didn’t make my 100 new films this year. However, I miscounted and after adding The Hustler the other day I hit 99 (although I had seen 3 of those before, just not in the cinema). The list below is a fairly randomly ordered pile of old [...]
