I'm a child of technology. Well a 30 something child of technology then. I have the usual spread - an iPad, a smart phone, a MacBook Pro etc etc. And I love to read. So it made logical sense to me when I'm travelling that having my books on my iPad is a good thing. …

The Allure of Mediocrity
Everyone should be mediocre in their lives at some point or other. It gives perspective and relevance to when our lives are spectacularly awesome or devastatingly horrible. Mediocre is an okay place to be but you have to be careful you don't unwittingly get stuck there. It's like the stealthy ninja of the behavioural addiction …
The Singularity Confliction
Being in a long term relationship (going on 15 years now) makes me think about what it would be like to be single. Pretty sure if I was single I would be wondering about what it would be like to be in a relationship. This is definitely a very typical human thing I think - …
Busier Than An Ant at a Picnic
It's been a little while since I posted here and I suppose that's what happens when your online life takes a back seat to real life happenings. I don't mind it when it does but I always have just a little itch to not let things happening in the online world slide past me for …

“I can’t go to bed there is shit happening on the internet”
This phrase has sadly taken on a very literal meaning of late. The FBI has shut down Megaupload a fairly significant file sharing site that probably 95% of people who use the internet have probably accessed at one point or another. Now I don't know if the FBI has changed it's overall job description, perhaps …

Chaos and anarchy – there’s none of that here.
I can add another misanthropic, specialist genius, empathy lacking fictional character to my list of favourite characters I have made so far. Lisbeth Salander - aka The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo. She is possibly borderline psychotic with severe anger management issues as well but I happily overlook this in light of her epic …
