Top Podcasts You Should Be Listening To

Top Podcasts You Should Be Listening To

As a musician and an avid reader, I have never had much use for podcasts until just recently.  On a sunny day I was frolicking, yes frolicking, back from the dog run, puppy in tow.  I frolicked too much and my iPhone 3G fell from my happy little pocket amongst the happy little trees.

Dead-ish: A Geekcentric Guide to Zombies

Dead-ish: A Geekcentric Guide to Zombies

“When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.” – Dawn of the Dead (1978/2004) It’s strange, really.  I’ve never been a huge fan of zombies.  I’m still not.  I can almost count the number of zombie flicks I’ve seen on the fingers of one hand.  I don’t own any Bruce [...]

The Transition from PC to Mac…(it’s sneakier than a ninja)

The Transition from PC to Mac…(it’s sneakier than a ninja)

There comes a point in everyone’s life when you’re forced to eat your own words.  We’ve all been there, faced with the painful yet inevitable reality of having to swallow our pride.  As surprising as it may be, despite my awesome beard, I found myself in just such a place a couple of short years [...]

Podcasts: A Geekcentric Guide Vol. 1

“What’s a podcast?” that’s a term I hear entirely to much, and its so sad that some of the best LEGITIMATELY free entertainment that’s ever existed goes largely unheard by the masses. A podcast is like a radio show. People record it and put it on the internet so that YOU may download the show [...]

On Mountain Biking

On Mountain Biking

Well here we are again.  Much to my pleasant surprise, my last post was actually very well received, at least judging by comments on here and from friends on Facebook (Of course, they are biased).   Due to this it has encouraged me to have a go at this again.   Alas, no short story this [...]
