  Queen: Rock Tour has been released and after Bob tipped me off I gave it a try. It is so well made and great fun to play. Yes, they may be the best band who ever lived, but I still… Read More ›

  “Rubbish Pet Portraits” isn’t a promising name for a picture book. But the UK-based guy behind them is obviously more of an artist than he lets on. Hercule van Wolfwinkle (God I hope that’s his real name!) writes that last… Read More ›

  The above is a ‘photo’ of me taken when I was 21 years old. I uploaded it to the MyHeritage animation tool and was half amazed and half creeped out by the end result. You can try it here or… Read More ›

  Air Vice Marshal Rich Maddison is a senior RAF officer with decades of flying experience. “As an Air Force we are as high-tech as you get, but this, this is just me.” He is referring to a miniature computer with… Read More ›
