Putting Getting Things Done Into Practice

A couple of days ago I received my copy of Getting Things Done by David Allen, the book has received fantastic praise among the new media fraternity and indeed in the wider world of business. Hundreds of thousands of people have found the book to be a "game changer" - providing them with a better quality of life and effectively helping them in the core principle of getting things done. I am usually very skeptical of self help books of any type, although in recent years from personal experience m...

Heavy Rain Feature Review

Evolution pushes things forward, I take that as a given, however evolution takes many forms and not every type or step in that forward movement is exactly what I would term evolutionary or progressive. Take modern cinema, the recent release of James Cameron's Avatar has been hailed by many as a pivotal moment in the time line of motion cinema, a true step forward for the medium. While I can agree that technological advancements have resulted in things looking prettier and sure there are moments ...

Kodak Zi8

After weeks of deliberating I finally decided to invest in a Kodak Zi8 earlier in the week. I had been researching various options for HD video recording since before Christmas but for one reason or another it took me until now to finally make a purchase. All I can say is that despite taking me a little longer than I would have liked it was certainly worth the wait. Arriving on Tuesday morning the Kodak Zi8 has been nothing but a joy; from the moment I took it out of the box I was impressed. Int...

2010 – Bring The Rain!!

2009 has been a really tough year, both in terms of personal loss with the death of my dear old Gran and indeed with the onslaught that work has been over the past few months. Somehow however, I've managed to make it through all that and now find myself entering into a new year, hopeful of success and prosperity in all that I undertake. I have no doubt 2010 will be filled with just as many challenges as the year almost gone and I'm sure there will be plenty of fresh problems to deal with, but I ...

Review: Default Folder X

I spent the last few days investigating several applications that I thought would improve my daily work flow. I have a very busy couple of months ahead and anything that makes my day to day activities less of a hassle is well worth investing in from my point of view. Enter Default Folder X, a fantastic user interface modification application from St Clair Software. Default Folder X is not really an application in it's own right, it's more of a modification to the way the Mac currently handles th...

Getting Into The Spirit of Things

This is the second day of my much needed holiday and for me the first day that it has actually felt like Christmas. I loved the festive season since a kid, as I'm sure most young children do... but my love of this time of year has persisted with me throughout my life. Even now I can't help but get excited by the prospect of time off work, presents - giving & receiving, Christmas TV, turkey, we even have snow this year which is an added bonus. Despite having a significant amount of stuff to g...
