It’s 3 weeks today till I start my 2 month exodus to Seattle. 3 weeks today I’ll be about 2 hours away from landing in Philadelphia. Then I’ve got just over 4 hours there and then a further 6 hours till I land in Seattle at 4:50am UK time. Since I’ll be leaving the house [...]
I was just reading an article on the BBC News Technology website about how China has scrapped plans to make it a law that anyone who writes a blog must use their real name on it.

Tesco Express Clarkston opened today, and who was sitting (sitting!) beside the cash machine outside? Oh yes your neighbourhood smelly homeless person selling the big issue. Ugh.
Anyway the Tesco itself is pretty nice, the aisles are a tad cramped but it seems to have a good selection of goods. Only 4 tills and 2 self [...]
It’s been a good week for gaming. The Halo 3 beta came out on Wednesday night/Thursday morning and it’s pretty fun. I’m not gonna play it much though because I want the game to be nice and fresh when I get the proper product in September.
On Thursday I got Spiderman 3 on rental. It got [...]
