Resolution Update: My First iPhone Game Approved and Released
I'm really rattling off these resolutions! Last week, I finally finished my first foray into iPhone development: Togolon! Given incessant ranting on the blogosphere, I was expecting this process was going to take anything up to a month to complete, but to my surprise, Togolon was approved in a mere 5... -
Infamy! Infamy! TFL has it Infamy
I was running slightly late for work today. Not so late that eyebrows would be raised, but late enough that I would be able to get on the Northern Line at Clapham North without being asfixy asphyxiay suffocated by a crowd of angry commuters. Or so I thought. I rounded the corner to... -
Resolution Update - Tom Does Stand Up
Some of you may remember my list of New Year's Resolutions. Well, I've crossed one off already, specifically "Get booed off stage at an open mic comedy night". I was lucky enough to get on the line-up for Ship of Fools in Borough last night. Was nerve-wracking, but a lot... -
Drinking Away a Research Grant
From BBC News: Alcohol on TV 'prompts drinking' "People are more likely to turn to alcohol while watching TV if they see drinking being portrayed in films or adverts, a study suggests." Now, forgive me for being naive here, but seeing something in an advert and wanting it? Doesn't that mean the... -
Bacon Flavour Everything
After seeing Jon Stewart's valiant attempt to give himself a heart attack in a single mouthful, I was intrigued by this strange and hitherto unknown to me product called Baconnaise. I expected to find a product that mixed bacon fat and mayonnaise in a single entity that would be unthinkable... -
The Benefits of Fraud
I came across a wonderful little news item about benefit fraud today on the BBC site. In a nutshell, a couple managed to con over £50,000 out of the welfare state through a complicated web of lies, subterfuge, and not understanding the meaning of the phrase "keep it on the down low".... -
A Tragic Tale
I was in Sainsbury's on Saturday evening, buying 2-for-1 lager for a party I was on my way to. As I'm standing in the queue - awkwardly balancing two four-packs on top of each other and wishing I'd picked up a basket - I notice the woman standing in front... -
Surveillance State Much?
Normally I don't find it too creepy if someone has auto follow turned on for Twitter. In this case, however, I felt somewhat uneasy: My plans for political dissidence are now thwarted! The government will now be aware of my every move provided I Tweet about it. My plans for... -
Turns Out Brand Design IS Rocket Science!
Apparently, Pepsi have changed their logo - although the redesign hasn't filtered to their UK concern, seeing as pepsi.co.uk seems focused soley on Pepsi Max (suppose it goes to show that the British are more "extreme" than other nationalities...quite). But how do you go from this: to this: The most sensible... -
Dangerously Skirting Politics
I don't normally like to comment on politics - its frankly a little boring.You've probably guessed from the opening sentence that there is a large cliche'd 'but' coming, and you'd be totally right. After a spate of scandals of the formula X said Y and Z wasn't happy about it, Jeremy Clarkson...
