its friday!

How much do I like Fridays? A LOT. Let me tell you, there’s no better feeling than FRIDAY.
This week feels like it’s taken a while, I think it’s because I haven’t really done anything important, special or fun.
Whats the go for the weekend? Well tonight, nothing, relax time! might watch a movie. Tommorow it’s all [...]

manhood is gone!

This blog isn’t just about nerd shit…
Check this out. Our pal Max (aka Black King) recently took a trip to the vet to have his goolies sorted. Poor bugger. We didn’t really want to get him fixed, but it was recommended by so many people (including the vet). Hopefully in a couple of months when [...]

Ryper Hobbies “540 Classic”

On Sunday I raced in the annual Ryper Hobbies “540 Classic”, an r/c event where each racer must use the same ’spec’ motor(s).
I won this event last year, and was sceptical of how this year’s event would go.

macbook pro squeeky!

I phoned up DigiLife yesterday (apple reseller) to enquire about bringing in my macbook pro for a service. It has a squeeky spacebar and it’s driving me up the wall. (sounds like nothing, but trust me it’s so damn annoying)

I’ve been meaning to do something about this and go for some kind of wireless solution. I’m going to kill two birds with one stone, and get myself a bluetooth over-ear earpiece.
