Put your hand up if you don’t remember the hyper-active blue hedgehog Sonic. Exactly. I thought so: everyone knows Sonic. If you don’t know Sonic then you must be either a) really a hater of computer games or b) such a fan of Super Mario Brothers that you never got around to playing. Sonic, if I really must say, was the fastest hedgehog in the land and, more impressively, his legend has survived into the millennium fully intact. Why? Because (more…)

Why is it that getting a splinter in your thumb or slipping on the snow and making an enormous bump appear on the side of your hip—and an arse of yourself—is not so fun, yet watching a motorbike rider launch high in to the air and splitting his head open on the sharp edge of some wood is more fun than should be reasonably and legally possible?

Possibly the release that everyone’s been looking forward to, is that of Bioshock 2. This new version has many fans way beside themselves in anticipation.

Before I begin, it would be really great if you could all give me a little bit of feedback on this human resource software site. Any suggestions on improvements would be fantastic!

Back in a time when the ZX Spectrum and the Commodore 64 were locked in battle, there was a groundbreaking game called ‘Exile’. I say ‘groundbreaking’ because it was the first ever time that real physics had ever been used in gameplay. By today’s standards it is not (more…)

If you are a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins then you are going to just love this! (If you aren’t a Pumpkinhead then maybe you will be better off having a look at another post on this page instead… I realise they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and I shall not be offended in the slightest.)

This ‘LED Car Sign’ is a pretty nifty little gadget to have in your motor. It all works wirelessly so you don’t have to worry about having any cables trailing from one end of your car to the other. A sucker holds the actual sign in place and the messages are selected with a simple remote control kept at the front of your car.

There are five different settings to choose from. These include-

This blog makes a lot of sense to me. Happiness can prove to be very elusive sometimes, whether we are consciously looking for it or not.

‘Learn How to be Happy’, touches on a couple of things that I absolutely agree with. The first of these is exercise. It is now common knowledge that exercise is good for you mentally as well as physically. If you go out for walk then you have the added bonus of being able (more…)

If you are someone who enjoys writing then have a look at, ‘Article Writing – A Fun Hobby or a Way to Earn a Living’. It isn’t as difficult to get started at this on the internet as you might think and you could manage to make a bit of cash from it as well.

Online Dating is something that I have never really thought much about. However, when I read this post I found myself seeing a lot of good things about it.

Going out on a date and finding yourself stuck with a total bore for hours on end is not a whole lot of fun. With online dating you are able to extricate yourself from this tedious situation quickly and easily. Just remember to give people a little bit of slack though… (more…)
