Someone gave me the heads up on this today : Google Business Photos . In a nutshell, it allows a business to bring Google mapping inside their business premise, as Zweifel & Co. of Germany have done with the wine…
- It's mid week already
Wednesday tomorrow. That sounds better in the closer to the grand weekend scheme of things than it's Tuesday. That's come around quick. I'm just writing a quick blog now because I've got a 'meeting' in The Swan on The…
- It's all in the Bank
Bank holidays are fantastic things. It's more than an extra day, a 1/3 extra weekend, it's an actual mini holiday. We should by now, as a human race be able to organise things so that we can have more holiday, more…

Woken up this morning (slight discomfort, co codomol worn off, re dosed, see last post) to find my twitter account and/or pinterest account has been hacked. The hacker had pinned a story on my pinterest account (a…

NappiesAccording to the audiobook* I'm reading at the moment, an old Djibouti proverb goes like this : "A man is only as rich as the number of children he fathers" and then, went on to the question "After all, what else does…
- MacBook Air
I've got a MacBook Air parked on my desk at work today. I wanted to type some stuff to try out the keyboard, so I thought what better place than dragondrop.org to absorb my words. I must say, it's incredibly thin. The…
- Grand Canyon
By eck, it's grand that is. Clair and Ben (wearing a splendid T-Shirt) stood in from of a STUNNING vista of The Grand Canyon in Arizona. Loads of DD club points for this one - iconic background (fo' sho), wearing the…

A couple of years ago, Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia made a tough decision. He partnered with Microsoft - his former employer - to deliver the operating system for Nokia's next generation of handsets. For the last two…
- Big fat lazy Sunday
This post is in danger of being the thing I've tried to avoid so far with my blog 365 project - a blog about my lunch. Thing is though, I've not done a lot other than food today. After a bit of ball wanging for the dog…
