Nintendo 3DS
Anyone who knows me knows I love my gadgets, particularly taking a new toy and find its limits. Pre-Xmas it was the Kinect, and yesterday the latest toy (abet for my son 
) was the Nintendo 3DS.
Is it amazing? In short, most definitely, the 3D is more impressive than most 3D TV's, but as someone lucky enough to see a the 3D TV glass free demo in St Pancreas just over a year ago, its the future that excites me, imagine convergence between the Kinect and the glasses free 3D? Holodeck anyone....
My business card
After many years of deliberatley not having a business card (instead in true Scrum fashion I used post-it notes), I thought it best to create a more professional business card due to the volume of requests increasing. I thought I'd share this with you, so that no one has the excuse of not having my card

Out with the old in with WordPress
After 2 years of my portfolio site, I decided to do a 'proper' job of it.
The old version of my site was written in .NET using the RSS feed from eblogger as my data source. Not only was the site ugly, but it also meant that I had to hand code every feature of the site.
Though I knew of WordPress, I had never bothered as it was PHP / MySql, though thanks to a colleague, Agile Guru Simon Cromarty, he showed me his blog being powered by WordPress, boom, the admin instantly sold it to me and as of today this site is now being ran by WordPress.
