One of the most heated discussions I have with friends at the moment is whether or not BlackBerry – or more specifically the parent company RIM – is going to have to drop out of the mobile phone market over the next couple of years. A few years ago if you’d asked with BlackBerrys would [...]

Android Rocks – On My New Galaxy Ace!
I thought I would write a quick post about my new phone. I dont normally take much interest in these things, I am certainly not a gadget fiend, but I have been Sooo impressed with my new Galaxy S and the Android platform I could not help but rant on a little . I guess [...]

Pets seem to be a hot topic in the news at the moment so I thought I’d write an article about my top three animals. I’m only going to include pets that I’ve personally owned, because they’re the only ones I can really judge. Let me know what you think in the comments section below [...]
