  • The Now Habit

    Reading Time: 2 minutesAt the moment quite a few of the podcasts I listen to have been speaking about audiobooks and how practical they are for people who communicate and I decided that I would try this out for myself. Since I am not always the most effective person at getting things done I decided…

  • David Pogue’s Style

    Reading Time: 2 minutesToo many video podcasts are badly produced and that is why David Pogue’s most recent episode was enjoyable to watch. He has a distinctive style. Whilst most video podcasters are content simply using a fixed camera at a desk he takes the time to create entertaining demonstrations of how the tech he…

  • New Site of Interest and Old Site To Avoid For A Few Days

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteOnce more facebook is down due to site maintenance and it’s making me think that it’s time to move onto another site for a number of days until they sort everything out.

Some of these people would be forgotten within a few seconds whilst others would be remembered slightly longer. One girl had a disarming stare, as I headed to my first…

As your social network is more global so you will find that your friends are more spread around the world. As you’ll see for…

  • Looking out of a window at traffic

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI’m on the second floor of a home which looks out onto a busy road which means there’s a lot of traffic passing by but wait there’s more. Road works are taking place. Traffic must stop. Stopped traffic means hours of entertainment from the comfort of your room. So far I saw…

  • The Digital Lifestyle

    Reading Time: 2 minutesA journalism student at the University of Westminster worked on an item about addiction to technology and this is quite an old item. In 1998 (if I remember correctly) I was speaking to a security guard in Martinique about the internet and he talked about it as if it was a disease…
