Life and such

Earlier this week Amazing Radio announced that it would be returning to DAB in the UK and for the first time, it would be broadcasting on DAB in Dublin, starting next week. I interviewed their CEO, Paul Campbell, for my thesis last year and was immensely impressed with their ethos, they really do care about [...]

Over the past couple of days we’ve seen HMV going into administration in the UK and Irish stores are closed today. Now, more than ever we need to keep our local independent music retailer and it’s so important to support them. This Google Map of the UK and Ireland was started the other night to [...]

This morning, I was pottering around and I heard these yelps outside, which sounded like a small animal or a bird. After pulling back the curtains, I saw three of our friendly foxes had returned, months after we last saw them. It may be quite a while since we’ve seen them but since Winter kicked [...]

Wow! Looking at this, it’s quite a reminder of how small we all are individually. Some fantastic editing from the Google team to bring the highlights of 2012 to 2 minutes and 46 seconds, backed up by Kodaline’s All I Want. What a fantastic achievement. [...]

Oh, Ashkon has done it again! Not content with having his San Francisco Giants version of Don’t Stop Believing becoming the anthem for the Giants when they won the World Series in 2010, he waited until the 2012 Giants won the World Series to do this.. We Are The Champions, there could be no other, [...]

I just wanted to say a quick word of thanks to the good people at Xbox for asking me to the launch of Halo 4 on Monday night. Since I went back to college, I haven’t really had the time to play many games. I’m the kind that gets stuck into a game and forgets [...]

Every Postseason needs a song. In 2010, the unofficial San Francisco Giants anthem was Askon with Don’t Stop Believing. For the second time in three years, the Giants are about to start Game 1 in the first round of the NLCS. Tonight, they take on the Cincinnati Reds. The prospect of a BayBridge World Series [...]

Over the past while you’ll have noticed that I’ve been posting a bit less than normal. That’s down to good ole college and being about ten days away from my last exam for my degree. Once I’m done, I’ll be throwing myself back into the blog and to everyone who has sent me a CD [...]

Every week it seems that I have something a little more in our nature reserve/garden to make me go wow! Yesterday was no different, I woke up and opened the curtains. The sun was shining, which it hasn’t done in a while. As I pulled back the curtains, I actually couldn’t believe what I was [...]

I’m starting to feel like a wildlife documentary maker but I really can’t believe that all this is happening in our back yard. Yes, our garden is an overgrown heap and we call it the Nature Reserve. You’ll even find it on foursquare if you look. Today, Foxy brought a little buddy, I was making [...]
