My first event of 2009

Yesterday I completed my first cycling event of 2009.
Whilst the CCS Reliability Ride is not really a race, it is also a bit more than the Sunday club runs. Before the event I decided I would have fun and ride round with other CCS club members, but half way round that plan changed and it turned into an ‘eyes out’ dash to the finish.

  • Macworld; What Happened?
    I love all Mac related events, it's a time that new shiney gadgets are unveiled and I work out how I can purchase them. This years Macworld event started off with the shock of Apple pulling out and the main man Steve not performing another Steve-note. But nothing compared to the actual ...

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
As the World crashes into 2009 I dust off my keyboard.
Nope not really I’m out somewhere enjoying myself but it felt about right to post a little note just to say have a good New Year’s.

Back on my bike


That’s right after a two year break I’m back on my bike and taking on the UK again.
In 2006 I cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats, in 2008 I’m take the south bound road and cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End.

This time around I’m hoping to raise money for the Breakthough Breast Cancer charity following on from my own personal encounters with the disease. Please feel free to donate any spare change.

I’m joining forces with David and Harry again and hope to finish the journey in seven days. Not as fast as last time but apparently the weather will be against us most of the way; prevailing winds and all that business. Plus I’ve not ridden a bike any distance since… well the last time, so I’m expecting any ground breaking performances.
Of course I would not be a the geek that I am if I did not make something of it. To which I present you with the Long Cycle Down web site. Yes I was watching Ewan and Charlie when registering a domain name.
Please drop by and offer some support or make a donation.

Brighten Up The Office

IMG_0338.jpgIf your lucky you have an office instead of a cubical. If your really lucky you have an office that is well looked after and painted in some subtle tones to inspire a relaxing working environment.
If your me you end up in a studio with a bright yellow wall behind you and a bright blue to your right.

This does not provide a perfect environment for the Creative Services crack team that is Jim Brown and myself. So in a Friday afternoon moment it was decided that we should spark the place up a bit, but rather than just obtain artwork or posters from the nearest shop we should think about it.
What better excuse than to make some South Park avatars of ourselves and post up with something that matched.
