A bit of this and a bit of that

It’s that time of year again and my friends down in Houston will be heading down to the Houston Rodeo Show. It’s a yearly event (in face I’m sure I posted about it last year) and consists of a livestock show and lots of entertainment for the whole family. I’d love to head down there [...]

Iyas, a friend and ex-colleague from Conchango is going to by cycling from London to Paris for a charitable cause and has launched an appeal to raise some funds. Here are the details:
I will be cycling 190 miles from London to Paris on September 14th - 16th with 14 colleagues from work in support of [...]

Don’t you hate it when you get to a point in the year where more and more needs your attention and you feel like doing it less and less. I blame it on the fact that we haven’t really had a proper holiday this year. Yes, we have had the occasional weekends away, but what [...]

A couple of weeks back Cedric, Claire and Maya came to visit us in the Isle of Man and I’ve just downloaded the photos of their visit. In the past you had to wait for ages to get photos developed, well, now you have to wait for ages for me to download them. Having 2 [...]

Do you have a dog? If so, it can probably benefit from a dog agility course, and there’s a one you can buy from Signature K9. They do all sorts of courses, not just agility, they even do police training videos. And to stress how valuable dog training can be, here’s a video I prepared [...]

I’ve been called upon to produce a short video to post to my blog, so I’ve had a play around with some free tools available on the web. Thought I’d post them here for posterity.

I used Digital Films.com to create a cartoon version of the movie. It’s pretty easy to use and while you won’t [...]
