Harry Potter’s so hot right now. He’s the focus of many water-cooler chats this month, ranking just below Ms Hilton and the iPhone. He has a new movie out and his seventh book is about to hit the shelves.
I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday and have reviewed it […]
Today (depending on your time zone) is Friday the 13th, or Black Friday as some call it. Did you know that already? Did you wake up this morning feeling a little nervous that perhaps you’d be hit by a bus today, or just spill your morning coffee? If something does go wrong, will you chuckle […]
People who read blogs on a regular basis are likely to use an RSS Reader to organize their subscriptions and get updates. I use Google Reader because, unlike Bloglines which I used for years, I can open articles by clicking them on my homepage (which is also Google Homepage…) without the page closing, and they […]
Oh dear. I found an MSN article (via LifeHack.org) called 10 Things Your Restaurant Won’t Tell You which is timely because apparently Americans now spend around half their food budget on eating out.
I knew I shouldn’t click on the article, simply because I eat out a lot (especially now, while I’m on the road) and […]
Hello, I’m still here! I went away spontaneously and and didn’t time-stamp any posts, and my server went down to boot. Sorry about that.
I was away on a whirlwind trip to the Grand Canyon that included a night in Vegas. I’d been to Vegas before, so knew what to expect. I’m not a big gambler, […]

Jeffrey Bezos of Amazon.com Inc made around $25 million, with a percentage gain of 0.35% in share value, while […]
Have you ever been in a commercial? The money can be good but it’s not easy, especially when your acting skills are as abysmal as mine. Really, I’m the William Hung of acting!
I was in a TV commercial last year for yogurt. We were encouraged to reveal our thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness style as we […]

A few days ago I blogged about buying some shares in my favorite burger chain. The burger company found my post (presumably through Blogsearch or some such) and have now offered me vouchers!
This may seem unexciting to you but this is a first for me as a blogger. Today vouchers, tomorrow flights and gadgets! Maybe.
Anyone […]
