Had a great visit to Cardiff. Ruth & I are huge fans of the new Dr Who series as well as the spin off show Torchwood. For this reason we decided to include Cardiff in our travels so we could visit some of the filming sites. The No 1 place on our list was Roald […]

Want to watch video.. of course you do, thats why we sit in front of the TV for hours. Most media sites have worked this out and hence video is appearing on more and more websites. But what is the experience like? You usually click “Watch Video” then get hit with all these choices.. […]

It’s a nice problem to have, but i’m finding it hard to choose which video camera to buy since my old one is near retirement. Trouble is, i can’t believe the retail experience when trying to decide which model to buy. Can you believe that in more than one store i’ve been allowed to hold […]

Ruth & I joined the masses today and watched The DaVinci Code at the cinemas. It was a good movie, really enjoyable. I’ve read the book, so knew exactly what to expect from a plot perspective, but I was surprised at how well they managed to pack a complex story into a movie. I know […]

Tonight I went with fellow Adobian, Lee Gale, to watch Star Wars Episode 3. Great movie, it wrapped a few loose ends that had me wondering […]

Bizarre timing, just as I finish reading Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons, the real world mirrors the beginning of the book that starts off with reports of the Pope dying. Lets hope thats all that happens. I get a chill when i think back to what happened 4 days after I watched the pilot episode […]

Watched the movie Hero last night. What an excellent film. Took a few moments to get past the fact that the english was dubbed over the original Mandarin soundtrack, but wow what visual imagery. I picked this DVD up after really getting into Tarantino’s Kill Bill movies, and thought i’d check out some of his […]

Just finished reading Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons. I liked Da Vinci code but think Brown’s first book was even better.
If you also read Nick Hodge’s web site you may be thinking that the entire Adobe Pacific team is reading Dan Brown.. well, most of us are! Still I agree with Nick that the books […]
