The iPhone arrives in the US next week. And still no word about when it’s going to arrive on these shores. I’ve had my current ‘phone for two and a half years now and it’s beginning to suck. But I don’t want to sign up for a new 12 month contract before the iPhone arrives.

Truth is I haven’t really been up to much this week. I’ve been out at shopping centres getting more suggestions from the public for “We Love It!” and this weekend I’ve just been chilling out, and catching up on TV.
I’ve also been fiddling about with my blog, updating all the blogging software I use, and [...]

Yes, I’d been getting a bit fed up of going to the same old places round town, but on Friday night, John, Charlie B and I headed off to the opening of a new bar called “The House” in Stranmillis. G also joined us but had to leave early as he has gone to become [...]

Obviously by now, five days later, I’m a bit hooked, but I will only [...]

Prison Break is brilliant. The news that it has been snatched by Sky One however, is not so brilliant, as because I’m with Virgin Media, I don’t receive Sky One.
So, I’ll be forced to download it (ahem) or buy it off the US iTunes store, where I’ve already spent $28 on episodes of 24. It [...]

After what seems like an eternity! My new series is finally underway. It’s called We Love It!
It was meant to have a different title but that’s another story.
Anyway, the idea is that members of the public here go online and tell us what they love doing and where they love to do it (keeping it [...]

I would have thought that I had pretty mainstream music tastes, but not according to this tool - I’m only 14.68% mainstream which is WAY cooler than like being 80% mainstream or something. It works using Last.fm which I’ve found to be a bit flakey in taking music submissions recently, but I’m hoping they’ll sort [...]
