Just a few of this week’s highlights!

* My Palm Pre – Despite many people (including Stephen Fry) suggesting alternatives and pointing out the Pre’s downfalls, I had a play with it in the shop, really liked it, and decided to get one anyway! I really like it, sure, the battery [...]

I’m still not feeling 100% (and now on antibiotics) but I’m getting better and whilst I can’t really afford to be off work there are still plenty of things to be happy about this week!

Right now I’m reading a lot more than I have in the last few years, but still not as much as I used to. I saw this survey on a couple of blogs I read and although I believe it was created for a blogging event that has now passed, I couldn’t resist [...]
