But I do now know two other people called “Alex Kidman”. The surreality continues… This one’s in the UK. I’m still keenly awaiting to see if the Alex Kidman who lives in Canada will accept my request, as by pure coincidence, he lives in the same city as my sister. I wonder what happens if

At least, I think that’s what the expression on this cat means. I have no lack of cat photos at the moment, something I have to attribute to my father-in-law (but that’s another story in itself).

I’m not sure, however, what that says about me. Or, come to think of it, my readership… Anyway, we’re back from five day’s

Another day, another satire-tinged Bluescreen column for APCmag.com: Faking the iPhone for fun and profit: “Bluescreen ponders many great things. What exactly young children see in Go Diego Go, and whether Diego is borderline retarded. Why Kevin Rudd reminds Bluescreen of Orinoco Womble. And why Bluescreen has such an inconveniently large mortgage, and what can
