Moving to a full online streaming based music platform means I have to contend with rights issues. (Of course, you would be quick to say that that has never stopped me in the past and I would have to agree.) Therefore I have to consider artists and more predominately labels not signed up to Spotify […]
Time Is Running Out For Wires
The death of the cable has long been over exaggerated. My constant bug-bear is the fact that in 2017 we still use shoelaces. Anyhow, I can confidently predict the start of the wireless future for myself in exactly 96 days! Want to know more? Stay tuned! Patience is a virtue and I tend to live […]

There are certain expectations growing up in an Asian household. My Dad wanted the triple threat. A doctor, an accountant and a lawyer.

A couple of words of advice to her well-drilled campaign team. Firstly I expect the Conservatives to be better informed to […]

Now, I do not mean the physical journeys, rather the breathtaking locations The Fast & The Furious franchise has taken us all over the planet. Of course, London is […]

At times I struggle to decide the most suitable home for a blog post. Do I really want to bore my readers with a geeky rambling on some niche piece of tech. My professional site, as rarely as I find the time to update, does have a now semi abandoned blog (or should that be […]

Do you stare at your smartphone in bed before you finally drift off to sleep? I too, am guilty as charged Your Honour! Now blue light is affecting our brains and well-being in multiple ways and as this is a recent phenomenon, research continues but the signs are not good. Therefore after many years of […]
