2008 December | A bit of this and a bit of that

Need to get some new specs

I’ve just noticed that my specs have started to develop a greenish tint which seems to be where sweat collects. It comes off easily, but it looks like the coating on the frame has worn away at that location, so it’s time to get some new glasses. It’s been more than a year since I…

What a great Christmas

We had an excellent Christmas day with loads of great food, great gifts and great company. Camille tried some new things, her mince pies were amazing, her Xmas cake fabulous and the turkey this year was really juicy and tasty. Her mince pies had nuts in them and they were just amazing. Would recommend anyone…

Heaven in a bar – 9 Bar original

As I’m not on my diet any more, I’ve been trying a number of things I’ve been meaning to try over the last few weeks. One of the things I’ve been meaning to try was the 9 Bar Seed Bar which includes hemp as one of the ingredients. And I must say it’s just awesome!…

Finding a local tutor in the US

I remember going to private lessons as a kid, sitting together with other kids in someone’s house or garage and catching up. Granted, I did it because my parents wanted me to take some exams early (expecting a kid to take 12 subjects in one go is a pretty tough thing to do), and I’m…

Gorgeous mince pies

Camille made some amazing mince pies today. Actually, they’re not quite mince pies as the filling is more than the usual ingredients. She’s added almonds and hazelnuts to the mix and left them open with a star on top. They’re more like tarts than mince pies and they’re pretty awesome! It’s nice that she’s ready…

New domain

I recently found out that I had registered a domain with my full name a couple of months back (yeah I had forgotten). I’ve put something up at http://owencutajar.com, but I’m not 100% certain what I’m going to do with the domain. I’m quite happy with this domain here, but I might use it for…

Diet on hold for Christmas

Image via Wikipedia Well, it’s a couple of days away from Christmas, so I’m going to give my diet a break for a few days. To tell you the truth I have been careless over the last few days, but I’m sure I can make it all up in the new year. It may be…

Welcoming Derek to the Blogosphere

My mate Derek has started blogging, so if you’re looking for something interesting to read check out his blog. He works as a DJ here in the Isle of Man, after having moved here from South Africa; but he’s also passionate about social media and the impact it can have on business. He also produces…

Staying home for Christmas

This year we’re staying home and Camille‘s family is visiting us. Last year we went to Malta, but Christmas is so much nicer here in the British Isles. It feels more like Christmas when it’s all frosty outside, when you have a real tree in your living room, when everyone has their fingers crossed that…

Becoming Gorgeous

I was at a friend’s house where we were talking about the Web when I noticed that she was using a website I had never been on before. It was up because she was looking for information aboutÂ hairstyles but what caught my attention was that the website is centered around a community experience where users…
