There was a theme park I used to go to when I was little, and at the end of the day, a gigantic fountain near the exit of the park would light up, play music, and spout water this way and that in time with the music.

We live in troubled times, peeps. Occupy, Arab Spring, Justin Bieber concerts, there’s no knowing where the trouble’s going to be coming from.

Read MoreThere are two types of people in this world. Those that worry about being late to an appointment, and those that don’t. I’ve always been one of the worriers, to the extent of being paranoid.

The piece attracted a LOT of comments from both Linux fans and detractors, ranging from ‘Your post reads like any Linux Fanboy rubbish. ‘ to ‘I had the exact same experience, and all my family members (wife and kids) use Linux without…

Plugging in your phone is an everyday occurrence, although where you plug it in changes as you move about the house. Sometimes it’s on your bedside table or desk, and other times it sits on the ground with its cord all tangled around it. Normally it is close to the nearest empty outlet you can find. It’s not that you don’t have a lot of outlets, it’s just that you have too many electronic devices sitting around that are always…

Read MoreThere are times when it’s useful to pretend you come from another country when you’re online. Like you’re trying to watch a clip of a Jon Stewart show from outside the USA, or you’re trying to catch up on a BBC show from New York.

Camping is an extremely enjoyable outdoor activity. The only problem being that you have to sleep amongst the ants, and hope that bears don’t decide to come nudging their noses into your tent. Normally you would just hang your food from a tree so forest creatures can’t get a hold of it, but why not just suspend yourself along with it?

If you are, or know someone who is disabled and has to be in a wheelchair, you know that life can oftentimes be difficult. Moving on paved areas is easy of course, as your wheels and their tread will have no problem rolling along.
