If you’re like me, you’ll use an image editing application quite a lot - from removing red-eye from party photographs to cropping an image, rotating it or putting a border on it for your blog and so on.
It’s sometimes frustrating though, say if you’re at work and need to alter an image quickly or away [...]

Remember the mixtape? Hours spent crafting a cassette with tunes from the radio for a mate or girlfriend back in the days? Well new technology means the mixtape ain’t necessarily dead.
There’s the USB version - pictured above - which is pretty neat, and which allows you to hand a cassette-shaped mix over to someone you [...]

Here is a list of things which have me peeved of late….
my iPhone is dead. Whilst in Austin, I left it on the bed beside a bottle of this sweet sickly sugary sh*t they were giving away free, the bottle cap wasn’t on properly, and I turned round 5 minutes later to find my iPhone [...]

Well I had a nice surprise last week when I received a parcel at work - my Mum and Dad had gone out and bought me the Tefal toast and egg toaster! It makes poached eggs, warms your meat, and toasts your muffin, bagel or whatever at the same time! This may not sound like a [...]

I’ve had it two weeks now, and am pretty used to it. There’s some things I [...]

As you can probably tell from the picture above, my weekend was not too exciting. I watched the final of Big Brother, which sucked because the twins didn’t win it.
Saturday was spent chilling out, Sunday I went food shopping, and then I came home and made some rolls. They were totally easy and took me [...]

The Times is reporting today that O2 has won the battle to be the carrier for the iPhone in the UK. That’s good news for me as I’m on O2, and can’t wait to get my iPhone - I haven’t upgraded my ‘phone now for like 2 and a half years!
However, I’m not going to [...]

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.
If [...]

I think this might be the most exciting post I ever write! I have been busy this week getting to grips with new household appliances. I got a new washing machine / tumble dryer delivered on Wednesday after successfully managing to disconnect the old one without entirely flooding my flat. It seems extremely complicated (as [...]
