Just a quick post to say Merry Christmas! I hope you have a fantastic day and Santa brings you everything you’ve asked for! Also, this gives me a nice excuse to post one of my favourite shots of Glasgow at Christmas:

Ho! Ho! Ho!

I try not to put too much work-related gubbins on my personal blog, but I’m so damned excited by the new project my company – *audioninjas – is working on. We’re producing a brand new tech/gadget review podcast, but with a twist. Rather than just doing the reviews, the panel will give their opinions on the kit and invite questions from the listeners.

We’re busy putting together the first episode, and already we’ve secured our first celebrity guest – The X Factor & E4′s very own Peter Dickson. We’ll be chatting about his iPhone app “Peter Dickson’s Pocket Announcer”, as well as his favourite tech of the moment. We’ll also be talking tech protection – specifically iPad cases. We’ll be looking at DODOcase and possibly another case.

If you’d like to participate, or just get the skinny on when the episodes are out, you can find the show on:

By the way, we only need a few more ‘Likes’ on Facebook so that we can get a proper URL!

Catch It, Bin It, Kill It

Yes, that time is upon us once again – it’s cold & flu season. For me, specifically, it’s flu season. My beautiful, but flu-ridden, wife decided that she wanted to share this experience with me. I wasn’t so keen, but hey – she’s the boss, so I took the flu, got sick and then paid a fortune to Asda for tissues, Lemsip Max capsules and orange juice. I’m now regretting it. I have been out of it since Thursday and am only now beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

People – if your partner suggests that you spice things up by getting the flu together, RUN AWAY. RUN FAST. Oh, and check this video. You can get it in a lift:
