STRAIGHT OUTTA YORKSHIRE hatSuch a hectic day. When today started (first activity, a lap of The Stray, wi' dog) I didn't envisage a full blown busy one. It has been though - in quite a good way. One of my fave things about today was acquiring a…
Generation DI received a belated birthday present this morning. A National Semiconductors' Digital NOVUS LED Watch. I absolutely love it to bits. When these came out - 40 years ago, when I was born (the model I've been bought is a…
Giz a go on your bike?I had one of those conversations earlier that triggered a warm glow of nostalgia. You know the feeling. The feeling you get when you and a bunch of approximate peers reminisce about stuff from when you were kids.…

I'm in awe of this guy. As well as MC Hammer's baseball coach, he's was a pro baseball player, an American footballer, boxer and George Foreman's sparring partner. His main claim to fame though (as if the MC Hammer…
Optical Illusion extraordinaireI've seen my fair share of optical illusions before. I've not seen one as good as this for a while though.. This is a static image - it's not animated in any way. That's your head doing that, that is.

Digging InstagramSo I've gotten hooked on (yet another) social network. Instagram. I love taking photos and have often invested unhealthy volumes of time experimenting and attempting to make photos look different - eg…
Graze Nibble BoxI've just had a Graze Nibble Box delivered to my desk at work. A brilliant idea where they post you a box of tasty healthy snacks on days that you specify. They have 100 recipes - you can either have random, or tweak to…
The Sun has got his hat onIt's been a cracking few days for sun. Possibly the sunniest March I can ever remember. Note to self - scoot back over the last 10 years archives and see if there's a sunnier memory stashed away. I'ts fairly likely that…
Riverside walkRiverside walk , originally uploaded by DragonDrop . A weekend of contrasts - Eirene and I had been out to a Festival warm up party on the Friday evening (the festy in question is DragonGate 2012 - no doubt more on that…
Limetree Festival 2011Limetree this year ticked pretty much all the boxes and then some. Textbook festival fun. Having had a few pre festival jitters enhanced by last minute unknowns - within minutes of arriving, I'd discovered that some…
