    While Jack seems to have absolutely no sense of direction (like his mother), he knows where all his favourite rides are in Cardiff city centre, and drags you into the shop when he recognises the logo. I can work on his sense of direction as he gets older, right? Or maybe he’ll be a member…

    Blimey, Moyles’ Breakfast Show from BBC Radio 1 is now a podcast (or at least, selections of it are). He’s sitting pretty at the top of the iTunes Top Podcasts list already. This means I can listen to Moyles on the train to work in the morning on my iPod, without a radio. Sweet.

    Fuck. That was close. And the expletive is necessary. My train home got delayed part way. I didn’t hear why, but we were slow by about half an hour. It’s Friday. Unusually, I started to doze off listening to a Dawn & Drew Show podcast (it was probably Drew’s melodious tones that did it). I…

    Students from the Information Technology University in Copenhagen have created Our Beer, version 1.0. No, it’s not software, it really is beer. It was created as an example of intellectual property management concerns, hinting that the open source concept (that the “recipe” is made publicly available for anyone to use or alter as long as…
