Welcome to the Lucky Country

Warning this post has an extreme overuse of bad clichés It has dawned on me that we have turned our back on our entire culture.

How’s the iPad going?

4 weeks into my iPad ownership i felt it worth a quick review on how I am finding it. Firstly I am not a Mac fanboy. I do like my iPhone but am a long term PC user, and frankly have no need or reason to change that. Not sure if that makes me more [...]
