A busy day here at Alexkidman.com. And I’ve yet to update my daily Movember photo and details, even.. (subtle….) Anyway, CNET.com.au has another of my reviews up: Laser DVBT-MP32 Multimedia Plus: “It’s not the prettiest PMP on the block, but the inclusion of digital TV support makes the MP32 a great little gadget.” And MacTheBlog […]

Ooh.. something new to promote, featuring a rich trove of my own dutifully handwritten content!* The new thing in this case is MacTheMag issue one, the brainchild of the exceedingly brainy Matthew Powell (seriously — don’t argue with this man about anything trivial except professional wrestling. It’s his one hidden trivia weakness. Otherwise, an impeccable

We currently get our fruit and vegetables through a co-operative arrangement with a company called Harvest Hub. Incredibly good value for very fresh veggies and fruit, and I’m now stunned when I go through the average supermarket at the vaguely slimy stuff that gets passed off as “fresh”. Anyway, the one minor drawback with outsourcing

So, a new sparkly look for the ol’ blog. I spent hours on Sunday mucking around with various themes and bits of style sheet hackery, most of which plain didn’t work. Then found this theme, which I mostly like. Still need to get something to replace the default clouds, though. I’ve also been busy writing

It’s been a bit quiet around this blog for a little while — a necessary side-effect while I take on board some rather drastic changes to the way I work, who I work for and what I do. Interesting times, and all that. In the meantime, though, it hasn’t stopped already written material appearing, both

Man, I’d kill for a CD copy of Fuzzbox’s Big Bang, even though it will make me feel rather old. Damn. I just had to go and look up when it came out. Twenty years ago. Now I do feel old, even though one of the staff at Master Five’s preschool commented this morning that

Ah, what a fine lyric that is. Special kudos to you if you can pick which song I’ve plucked it from. Songs are, naturally enough, vocal efforts, and I’m once again in fine vocal form for the fifth edition of MacThePodcast. You can subscribe to it via iTunes — it’s definitely up there now —

I need a little positivity today. Possibly quite a bit, and my current song choice reflects that. Sure, chances are you’ve never heard it, but when has that ever stopped me? I must get around to writing more original content for this blog — I’ve got a cracking idea based around a horrible experience at
But I don't care what people may say… I ain't gonna let it ruin my day Read More »
Three bites of the virtual Alex Apple today — and only one of them is related to a certain well known fruit-themed company. Wonders may never cease. First up, at PC Authority: Mac Authority: Time To Go On Safari? “Apple’s announcement of Safari 4.0 Beta has Alex Kidman pondering. Is it time to switch browsers
