Back from the Influence forum (sadly without a personalised Segway, but you can’t have everything) — those who want to gawk at a bed I’ve slept in (although it feels right now like I didn’t actually sleep all that much, or not as much as I should have) should check out my brother’s Junket vlog […]

Somehow, after eating my body weight in Mentos, I managed to survive drinking a glass of Coke. Which is, technically, meant to be suicide. Or something. Clearly, like Clubber Lang, I am the baddest man in the world. Or perhaps not. While I was testing the boundaries of science, gastronomy and common sense, I was

More reviews — well, mini-reviews (reviewlets?) of mine live today at CNET.com.au: Sony Ericsson HBH-PV710: “Remember the early Bluetooth headsets? The really big, chunky numbers that left people wondering if you were either an extra in a dodgy sci-fi flick or just had a really big hearing aid?” Sony Ericsson HBV-100: “A good way to

And I’m eating thousands of them. I’m

Some kind of bucket of water (or possibly sand) would seem to be in order for Ms Ciccone-Ritchie. And perhaps a bathrobe. That aside, as the month turns, so do new magazines end up on store shelves in respectable (and grubby) Newsagents everywhere. Such as the September issue of Australian Macworld Magazine, out right this

With the turn of a new month, my brain cast itself towards my web stats — three years working at a web-stat-obsessed publisher turned me into a web-stat-obsessed editor, and it’s a habit I’ve found rather hard to kick. Now, I’m not pulling in stats numbers of any great significance here, but there are a

I’ve been spending what precious little “free” playing time I have at the moment playing Jeff Minter’s mildly trippy — no, make that acid-drenched-in-a-bucket-full-of-Neon-Paint-And-Magic-Mushrooms-trippy — but above all quite difficult Space Giraffe. It’s currently only available on Xbox Live at a cost of 400 “points” — that’s about $6.60 Australian at current rates. And I’m
Who exactly has time to listen to six and a half thousand different radio stations? Well, that’d be me. As part of my research for an article in the current issue of Home Entertainment Magazine, I personally listened to 24 hours of each of 6,500 Radio stations, in my never-ending search for the truth*. It’s

Wow, my throat hurts. And not just a small amount; it feels like I’m ingesting a tiny dagger at a specific point on the back of my throat each time I swallow. You probably didn’t need to know that. To distract you, why not take a look at my latest review, live today at GadgetGuy.com.au?
