Blogging habits
I have been knocking off a bunch of emails today (as you can imagine I just might in the course of a work day) and I found myself looking for a blockquote function in my mail program (Novell GroupWise if you must know). I realised how used to the blogging interface I have become. Blogging […]

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
As I mentioned last night, we went to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow last night. If you haven’t seen it already I recommend it. We had a great time and loved the way the movie was presented. It is an adventure movie set in the 1940s. Jude Law plays Sky Captain, the […]
