Creativity, curiosity, and code
You might think: ‘Ross? Yeah, he’s a real geek. All the latest gadgets.’ But it’s not quite true. And it’s especially not true in the world of entertainment. We barely have HDTV, I’m not a big gamer, and we still buy most of our music on CD and we purchase real paper books. But I’ve […]
I’ve mentioned a couple of times recently that I use the Mailbox App for (some of my) email tasks. People have mixed views about it, and I confess, I wasn’t so sure about it at first. But I made one little tweak to it that’s made it one of my favourite tools. Mailbox aims to […]
Crop circles were big in Wiltshire when I was a lad. Really big. And one of Wiltshire’s biggest towns, my home town of Swindon, is really big on roundabouts. Co-incidence? Well…I’ve always said that there was a link. Crop circles seem to be an ideal way for traffic planners to try out new layouts in […]
I confess, I followed most of the Google I/O Keynote Speech on Wednesday. The Verge sums it up), or you can watch the entire 3.5 hours below. It was at times very dull, but there was an awful lot of very clever stuff in there. It’s probably known that I’m a fan of what Google […]

It started from a question asked by whoever was running the PeopleOfSwindon account that week, and we got onto the topic of Swindon’s cycle paths. The following observation was made: @Surfseekerdin – public cycle paths seem extensive, though I don't cycle, […]
Hello blog. It’s been a while…again. This is really an extended Tweet which makes idea blog post material. I’ve not been cycling much lately. A combination of working from home and not really having any spare time due to running a business and being a dad. But I still love my bike and my cycling […]
I’ve been poorly today so Sally has taken Isaac to nursery (usually my job) prepared tea in the slow cooker, looked after Isaac all night (as always) and not complained or been bothered by it at all. She’s done everything needed to let me just rest and fight off my man-flu. And today just about […]
Alas, after a good blogging revival in December and the start of Jan, it’s been back to no-blogging for most of the last month. To be honest, I’ve mostly been locked away in my office getting umpteen websites finished and put live, so there’s not been much to tell (though look out for site launch […]
