Coder by day, gamer and film fan by night. Websites are one of many things I do. A big fan of classic/retro gaming especially of Atari systems. I can also cook. ;)
Espionage thrillers must seem like relics from the Cold War; outdated and no longer relevant. However with Argo, we have a movie that not only shows what we’ve been missing but relishes it’s setting during a a dangerous time. Based on events in 1979 where US embassy staff […]
Test Drive Unlimited was one of those early games on the Xbox 360 which showed where the newer generation of consoles could take players. It was an open world racing game that covered the geography of an entire island. In addition, players could jump into common sessions and […]
Showed up at my local EB Games for the Halo 4 launch; never before did that as I usually picked up the previous games during the day, but since the next day also turned out to be a public holiday it worked out nicely. I then proceeded to […]

I was not a big fan of Titanic, James Cameron’s ode to sinking ships and Celine Dion, but it’s impact on moviegoers cannot be underestimated. Plus it did rake in the odd billion dollars. So when there was an opportunity to get my hands on the 3D Blu-Ray […]
Got a chance to check out the iPhone 5 thanks to my lovely wife upgrading her iPhone 4 and impressions are strangely mixed. The phone itself is a marvelous device on first glance. The new screen is impressive and the phone itself is scarily light. It really does feel like […]
Part of my work can sometimes involve building websites. For my current employer there is a big push for all sites to meet the accessibility guidelines set out in WCAG 2.0. This is going to become standard across all government sites in the country. It is a noble […]
