After banging on about my favourite albums of the last decade I decided to make a much longer list of my favourite albums. It’s probably much too self indulgent to go through the entire list on here but I’ve attempted to convert it into a playlist. Yes,...

I’ve been mucking about with Spotify. I’m not completely sure if it is that useful and I can’t really see a great deal of difference from Last FM Radio. The playlists do seem like a good way of sharing stuff you’re listening to and, hopefully...

Does the world need another post about Twitter? Of course it doesn’t. Is that a good enough reason to not write one? Well it probably is but I’ll do it anyway. The whole world appears to have become obsessed with a medium of communication restricting...

I’ve been bothered by the recent decision by the Competition Commission to stop the so called Project Kangaroo. My irritation with the decision is odd as I don’t generally use the existing video on demand services provided by BBC, ITV and Channel 4. Though...
