An experimental idea I’ve been kicking around in my head for a while now. I attend a lot of product launches, and get some good hands-on time with products. It’s typically not enough to form a proper review, but it is good for showing off products. And that’s what thirty seconds of tech is meant […]

The week kicks off with a couple of columns. First up, at PC Authority, I look at the pricing and plans for 3G “MiFi” style Modem/Routers: Best Value Pre-Paid Portable 3G Wi-Fi Modems: “Whether you call them MiFis, Portable Routers, Battery Routers, Portable Hotspots or merely “that thing that I use to connect my stuff

It’s a question with an ever-evolving answer, but the broad answer is usually that as a freelancer, I’ll work for anyone who’ll pay the bills*. Which is why I’m concurrently across so many titles, both online and in print. As an example, this month’s PC User magazine has a lot of my content. I’ve tested
I often get asked "who do I work for"? Read More »
This week’s opinion columns are both rather Tablet-centric. First up, at Geekspeak, an overview of the iPad, Galaxy Tab and T-Touch Tab: Which Tablet Is Right For Me? “There is finally a modicum of choice in the Tablet space…” Then at Hydrapinion, I’m picking a fight with Steve Jobs. Sure, he’s a master of the

You know that whole idea of a work/life balance? Right at the moment, mine’s so tilted it’s essentially a work/work balance with the life hanging onto an edge somewhere by the very tips of its fingers. In fact, I think I just heard it scream as it inevitably let go. Inbetween running a household and
Work/Life Balance. I must get one of those. Read More »
No, it’s just my lungs trying to escape my body, same as usual for this week. Being sick sucks. Especially when you no longer get sick leave, so you just have to keep working… Speaking of working, here’s some reviews at CNET.com.au. Enjoy. I’m going back to the hacking and wheezing, if you’ll excuse me…

And I think we’ve all felt that way, haven’t we? (The parties responsible for me listening to such enlightened stuff know who they are. Appropriate punishments will be handed out at the allotted time.) An unusual week, this one, as I’ve been balancing my work flow against my wife’s residential schools and assignment duties and

How would you measure that handful of nothing? Presumably not by weight. Why is it a handful, anyway? I could deliver nothing by the truckload, in my special fleet of invisible trucks, for a low, low price!* In the land of not-nothing, yesterday’s Windkintosh story has been slashdotted, and predictably, the Slashdotiverse thinks I suck,
You took a whole lotta loving for a handful of nothing… Read More »
What a daft lyric. I mean, it’s all very inspiring and all, and I’m sure given the Proclaimers’ generally energetic walking style that it’s highly aerobic to boot… but then the 1,000 mile trek just to fall over? She’s going to take one look at the sweaty, unconscious mess in front of her, and then
But I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more… Read More »
In the middle of a cold Winter’s day this week. This should, perhaps, have come as something of a surprise, if I wasn’t in fact running around writing stuff faster than should be technically possible, and thus not always paying as much attention to my immediate surroundings as I perhaps should be. Thankfully, I’ve got
Somehow, I found myself on a Jet Boat in the middle of Sydney Harbour… Read More »
