My story – being a mum to a colour deficient son
James is 13 years old. I didn’t realise he was born with a colour defect until he was around 3 years old. On the way to preschool we used to do play games like, what number is on that front door, what colour is that car etc. James was always good at maths (unlike me!), …

My early request for the man in the red suit…
There’s little doubt that the television was one of the most significant technologies of the last century. If I think back to my childhood it was certainly a focal point of every home. It was how we found out news, how we joined in with major events, how we whiled away many, many hours! …

Twitter mistakes – kudos to @friendsreunited for a quick fix
With the horrible events of yesterday afternoon, it was particularly sad to see a rather large twitter mistake and some sickening Facebook posts.

Are your gadgets covered?
I’ve had one of those Victor Kiam moments. You know the one – “I liked it so much, I bought the company!” Ok, if you’re child of the 70s or earlier you’ll know what I mean, I accept some readers may not. No, this is nothing to do with shavers, it’s even more boring than that. …

So, “hands up” time again – how many of you have seen this Facebook status? The next 2 weeks I will be posting this, and …

Microsoft’s answer to Google+: perhaps a little anti-so.cl?
My first taste of so.cl today. An experiment by Microsoft to make search more social. It has a certain Facebook look to it, but their equivalent of the cover photo is a slideshow of latest searches carried out. Remember, these are searches by other users, not your own. I had been on there all of …

Google Drive – 5 minutes in
Typical, isn’t it? Could I be given access to my shiny, new Google Drive at 9am? No, I had to be given access at 11pm. The night before BNI (which means being up before 6). Can I resist having a go? Of course not! So, 5 minutes in, is this going to hurt my ongoing …
29th Feb – a day for geeky leaps – Pi, 8 and Facebook pages!
What a day. It started with the rush to get orders in for the Raspberry Pi – no, not a fruit based pastry dish. It’s a credit card sized computer, about as minimal as you can get while remaining functional and bringing with it a hope that it can kickstart a new generation towards getting …
