Beating around the bush…
In a manner of speaking. Yet another DAB+ digital radio falls under my steely gaze, this time at CNET.com.au: Bush BR20DAB: “Bush’s latest DAB+ radio is affordable and elegantly styled.”

Vintage tech and strange Italian stalkers
A weird week so far. On the one hand, I’ve extolled the beauty of 1980s technology in a new column for PC Authority: Vintage tech: Looking back at the Commodore 64: “Just look at it. Is that not a thing of design beauty? Well, OK, no, not much.It’s brown and… brown. Or in some later

Eee, it's a box.
Today was a day when just about everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. And then some. To put it in perspective, I sat down to start working this morning at 7:20am. I actually started getting productive work done at 4:22pm. Yeah, it’s been one of those kinds of days. I need a long
Bandwagons, iPads, Android and shattered pelvises
Somehow, I’ve knitted the above into a single story for APCMag.com today. Truly, my wordsmithing powers* know no bounds. Especially when the story itself is about security software: Norton 360 to support iPad, Android: “Latest version of 360 “supports” iPad, iPhone and Android. Sort of…” *And, clearly my humility

Woo! It's a printer review!
Are you excited? Ah well. Can’t please everybody. Unless of course if you were excited in which case, please send money. CNET.com.au has this: HP Officejet 7000 Wide Format Printer E809a: “HP’s A3 printer is best suited to those who need to print big official documents rather than big photos.”

The artist formerly known as Windows Mobile…
Is the subject of an opinion piece of mine today at PC Authority: Windows Phone 7: Is everything old new again? “Opinion: Microsoft’s cranking up the hype machine for its “new” mobile OS, but leaving plenty of questions open.”

I still reckon Sony brand name Scrabble* would be the greatest game ever…
A couple of Sony Vaio products for your perusal today at CNET.com.au. They’re fine to read, but don’t try to pronounce the product names, unless you’re already fluent in Welsh. Sony Vaio VPCL118FG/B: “Sony’s all-in-one PC isn’t cheap and it could do with more storage, but otherwise it’s a highly attractive option for those who

Dragons and storage and wireless and wetness
These are a few of my favourite thiiiiiings! Except that, with some minor exclusions, they’re not. What a week it’s been. One flooded office. One wife in and out of hospital. One office cleared and stuffed into every spare nook around the place to compensate. Carpet destroyed. Carpet ripped up. Office re-painted. Insurance companies screamed

Mental note: Don't wear white shorts on a dark stage…
A couple of weekends ago, the Powerhouse museum held an ’80s themed retro gaming weekend. I went along as part of a Byteside panel discussion on where gaming is, was and is going to be, and the video of that panel is now up on YouTube. Thrill! At the discussion of old games and new

Vanity, thy name is Kidmanpedia…
Every once in a while, I’ll do a vanity search on my name in Google. It’s apparently a very common kind of thing to do online, but I like to think that I do this for more than reasons of vanity. Well, I like to think that, anyway. Seriously, however, it’s something of a hangover
