Take On Me – A-Ha – Igor Presnyakov
Mar 15th
While listening to Spotify Aha’s signature classic tune Take On Me came on. Being the type that is easily distracted I wondered if there any cool cover versions of the iconi 80′s song. I stumbled upon Igor Presnyakov. This is amazing!

Asus GT 430. First impressions
Jan 30th
While looking for ways to make my very old PC to run faster, I purchased an Asus GT 430 graphics card. The first few tests are great, but it’s not fair to publish my results yet as it’s in an old Asus A8N motherboard with an AMD 3200 processor; it’s old tech so until I get a new system to build I won’t do any proper testing.
Birthday LAN Party in Aylesbury. Shot on Canon 5D mk2
Jan 17th
HI, I just wanted to share this video I made very quickly. I don’t often go to LAN Parties but I always carry a camera. In between games, and sometimes during, I’d grab the awesome Canon 5D Mk2 and shoot small snippets of video. I knew I’d be editing it all together but I never plan the final edit; I make up the edit as I go along.
I’m a geek and I’m proud of it, so when my mate invited me to his LAN Party I could not think of a better way to spend 15 hours other than gaming! More >
Play World of Warcraft on your iPad. For real!
Dec 9th
With the recent release of World of Warcraft’s expansion pack Cataclysm, I wanted to stretch my old RPG muscles again. However, gaming technology has been re-invented with the iPhone and iPad. I wanted to see if there was any genuine way to play World of Warcraft on a mobile device and I found it.
It is called EveryAir. Now let’s get one thing straight, it won’t allow you to install World of Warcraft on your iPad; what actually does is capture the video display on your gaming computer and streams it over WIFI at a high refresh rate.

The Walking Dead broadcasted in the UK.
Nov 8th
This 6 Part American TV show is worth a mention. It is about a mixed group of people who have somehow survived an viral epidemic. The virus is transmitted through bites and, you guessed it, once bitten you become a Zombie…I just hate it when that happens.
The first episode aired in the United Kingdom on the FX channel. Having watched it once, I had to watch it again. It is very well acted and there is a sense of menace from the Zombies.
What makes it different, is this has to be the first Zombie TV show that does it More >
Aylesbury Youth For Christ at Coventry.
Nov 4th
Once again filmed with the Canon 5D Mark2, I was asked to document our charity’s commissioning at Coventry. it was a great day, even though I was hobbling along because of a foot injury. The camera performed brilliantly. The only problem when shooting video with the Canon 5D Mk2 is the battery life. I think it would be necessary to have 2-3 batteries and a whole heap of Compact Flash cards if you wanted to film all day.
The music is called “Hungry” by Kathryn Scott.
Pocket Legends, an addictive MMO for iPad.
Oct 5th
Just a quick post to tell you about a game I’ve installed on my iPad for ages but only recently rediscovered. Pocket Legends can best described as World of Warcraft for Apple devices. The control system is very simple, it’s just point to a space in the environment and your character will move. Combat is a case of selecting a power or weapon and your character will automatically attack the nearest enemy.
