Xbox Kinect – My Living Room is too Small for it!
My brother is 27 today – which coincides with the day that the Microsoft Kinect comes out in the UK. So a couple of weeks ago I decided to get him a Kinect as a present. I tried several online shops but none of them had it available for pre-order as they had already sold [...]

One thing needed to make a website – an idea

Got the new Mobile – and have entered another 6 hour Adventure Race!
A nice Royal Mail courrier knocked on my door this morning and handed me an HTC Touch HD. I carefully unwrapped it, took it to work and charged it at my desk.
