It may not be my first actual flying lesson, but since my first taster session was over ten years ago and my last lesson was also just a trial, this morning is the first one to count as a real lesson. If there’s one thing I wasn’t prepared for it was how much pre-flight briefing …
My new venture, Wedu Games, is up and running. Or at least the site is as there are no games finished yet. There are a few things in development, though, including an interactive storytelling table app (that isn’t a game at all) and a stud/hold-em poker hybrid to launch on mobile and Facebook together. Everything’s …
After ten years since I last had a short taster session flying a Cessna at Wycome Airfield, I finally have the time and (just about) the money to try for a private pilot’s license from start to finish. Stapleford Flight Centre is close to me, being about ten miles away, so I booked myself in …

After the wettest few months every in the history of Britain (only slightly exaggeration) it cleared slightly and, as the rest of the country started to work out whether the Olympics were a good thing or not, we …
New pictures of Mars from Curiosity, but what’s that on the left hand side?…
I brought a Kindle Fire back to the UK, mainly because I wanted a cheap and small tablet, and preferably Android rather than iPad. I wasn’t sure what would and wouldn’t work back in London but since most of what I wanted in a tablet was a web browser I didn’t think it could go …
I’ve wanted to go to Petra ever since discovering that the temple in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was a real place. I also like to ride a horse (or at least to attempt to), and preferably somewhere fun and scenic, and so combining the two seemed like a good idea. So, with a …
I’ve been going to the board game club London On Board for a few months now and, thinking we needed a bit of a web presence (since there’s almost zero search engine visibility) I put together a one-page website. The website at www.londononboard.com is the result of that and, mainly for the benefit of the …
I’m just come back from a weekend at the Edinburgh Festival. As I remembered it from the last time, the town gets filled with leafleters and human statues. Standing in the street and advertising “free comedy in half hour” is almost guaranteed to not get me in the door. But I did get to see …
