It’s really interesting, and a walk down memory lane, to be reminded how there was a time not that long ago when the idea of selling bottled water would have been almost laughable. Sure we’ll pay for a bottle of flavoured liquid, but plain ordinary water? Crazy. And yet it’s… Continue reading
I am not a morning person. And yet I love the morning. More and more as I get further removed from my former nocturnal life as a musician. But I don’t think I’ll ever be someone who naturally gets up at the crack of dawn. But a funny thing happens… Continue reading
As computers advance, it seems we just keep moving smaller. Desktops to laptops to netbooks to tablets.
