Dear G+ people, It’s way into November and, like many geek-men, I’m growing a moustache to benefit men’s health charity Movember. All proceeds go towards cancer research. If you haven’t already donated to Movember, please consider donating a couple of dollars to me. It’s a really good cause. It doesn’t have to be much. I [...]

Marco’s review assumes that the Fire should be an iPad replacement, and from that point of view I agree with him that the Fire is not. I bought mine as a Kindle (gen 1) replacement, and it does everything I need in an e-reader, plus allows me to easily check my email (thanks to the [...]

Looking for awesome Adobe Edge examples! Are you an Adobe Edge developer, animator or designer – or just doing interesting things with Edge? No one’s laughing at you now huh? Least of all me. I want you to get in touch with me about an opportunity to get your work seen very widely indeed. If [...]
