A Land Rover Coupe? The LRX is en route

I’ve always been a Land Rover fan. More specifically, I’m a Range Rover enthusiast — I own two — and I thoroughly enjoy the experience. My good friend Dan from Greenbang just sent me news of Land Rover’s latest addition coming soon, the LRX. Here it is: Interesting. It’s 3-door. It’s shorted than the Freelander [...]

Telegraph website editor: Dump your webtrends account

I’ve been trying to get to the Telegraph website now and again over the past few days. Sometimes it works. Most of the time I have to read the Google cache. Because their webtrends server — their statistical tracking service — either can’t handle the pace or is overloaded. It’s entirely delaying the delivery of [...]

The Roebuck on Chiswick High Road. Nice.

I had lunch on Sunday with one of Yahoo Europe’s head honchos. The chap’s a total genius when it comes to marketing so it was good to sit down and have an unrestricted natter. Both wives came too. This was the first time I’d been to the pub/dining room style place, The Roebuck. A lot [...]

"In the Information Age, governments chosen by the majority are governments chosen by losers"

Years ago, I came across this following piece of text from an article in the Independent newspaper. I actually typed it out — manually — and saved it as a word document, I was that taken with it. It’s authored by Professor Ian Angell (website) of the London School of Economics. I suspect he takes [...]

“Ah hah,” I thought, “That’s what I’ll do, I’ll upgrade Spotify to the premium version.” I’ve been meaning to this for a while. I’m about to go to bed — I’ve got it playing me some seriously relaxing classical and the ‘shit, let’s upgrade!’ thought came into my head. I clicked the upgrade button. Arse. [...]
