Where Apple Are Going Wrong...

Well it's been a few days (almost a week) since I wrote my last blog post, and already I'm starting to feel like a naughty school boy for not doing something that I should have done. Not to mention the with-drawl symptoms I am getting from not writing.

So I thought today, I would write a post to let Apple know where they are going wrong. And because I because I know my opinion means a lot to them, I know they will honor it and completely re-write their strategy, launching the new iPhone 5 (whenever that may be) with a completely new look,  cut me in on the profit thus making me a millionaire over night. (Well.. you can but dream!).

I used an iPhone for a quite a long time in comparison to other handsets I've had. I even bought my girlfriend one for Christmas last year, so obviously, I appreciate that they are amazing phones. They are built to an extremely high standard, they look beautiful, and in terms of their touchscreen, they are more responsive than any other phone on the market. Quite simply, they are perfect... Which is where I think they fall flat.

To maintain their perfection, they have sacrificed a certain element that I think a lot of people (particularly Android users) want from a smart phone... They lack that element of fun!

When I hit the unlock button on my HTC One X, I am suddenly hit by a smoothly animated picture showcase. Beautiful images flying around the screen in Polaroid style frames which make me smile every time I unlock it - each one displaying in a crisp, sharp resolution making me smile in amazement at its performance, followed by an almost bigger smile as the memory of the photo which is being displayed. And because I have so many photo's on my phone, It's very rare that I am shown the same picture as last time. Making each time I unlock, a new reminiscing moment of happy times in my life...

OK... so maybe the above is a bit much, and making you want to grab a bucket... but it's just one of the simple things you can do with an Android phone which you can't with an iPhone. And of course, this is only one of the features you can set to the unlock screen... You can have a vast array of things displayed there to make your day so much brighter, including the local weather. Beautiful animation of what the weather 'could be doing' near you.. (although you could look out the window). You can have notifications up there also, allowing you to see who's been messaging / emailing or calling you without even having to go in to the phone, which can be simply dragged into the unlock ring, transporting you instantly to whatever app is delivering this notification. 

You can even display your latest Footprints updates up there... Instantly displaying your closest friend's and family's latest Facebook and Twitter updates. All of which you don't get from an iPhone.

Other little things an iPhone can't do which Android does effortlessly are the widgets... And we all love our widgets. I'm particularly fond of my newest widget which set me back a whole £1.60... Ouch! The Pure Calendar widget, (linked directly to my Google ID) displays all my calendar entries on the home screen, allowing me to see where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing over the coming week without making a mess of my home screen. This fully customisable app can be set to a small font with a transparent background so that it doesn't take away from your favourite wallpaper in the background... Now to me, that's perfection :)

I'm not gonna go on listing all the little functions and widgets that are available on Android but not on iPhone... But I will end this with 2 quotes that I've had from Sally and my Mum...

Sally on the iPhone:
The iPhone does exactly as you expect, as soon as you take it out the box, or tap on one of the apps, you know exactly what its going to do.... It lack's fun!

Mum on her HTC Sensation XL:
I can always find some new function/feature, each time I play with it. It's smooth and fast and never had any issues.

So there you go Apple... Make your next iPhone a little more exciting, make it a little less user friendly, and most of all... MAKE IT MORE FUN!!! :)


If like me, your a fan of all things tech, including Android... Check out my mates blog. Relevant Social Media. It's full of interesting articles including a Full Serving Of Ice Cream Sandwich and the new Samsung Galaxy SIII (boooo). Not just pushing this blog because he's a mate... it genuinely is a really good, easy reading and informative blog... So check him out! 

Google - Much, Much More Than An Email...

OK, so I'm a huge fan of Google. Not only do they produce what I believe to be the best mobile phone operating system (Yes folks... Android is Google's contribution to the smart phone world), but they also have a whole host of amazing products that have the ability to make your life (and mine) so much easier, enjoyable and integrated. Yet, it astounds me that in this day and age, in the era of smart phones, tablets and social networks, that many people I talk to (mostly friends that aren't in the digital industry that I am) aren't aware of what a Google ID actually is and don't see it as anything more than just another email address, much like Yahoo and MSN... This is FARRR from the case!

On that, I thought I would write my next blog post about a few of the features and functionality that Google provide me with on a daily basis. All of which don't cost me a penny, are all interlinked and enable me to be more organised, efficient and sociable. :)

Google Mail...

Yes, it's email... straight forward and simple email. But, your email address is just the start. It's not just an address... it's an ID. An online passport if you like. This ID is the core of all Google products, it is the login ID that you use for them all, and the ID which stores all that important information which you hold dear, and in some cases, (like mine) an online backup to your life... How? I'll tell you. But before I do, I'm sure of you by now are wondering... "what if I don't want Google to know everything about my life?" Well, unfortunately, they probably already do. What with all the data you share on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and whatever other social media network, there's probably not a great deal about you life that isn't already on the world wide web. There is a benefit to this however, especially in Google's case. All this data that is collected, including your online browsing behaviour, shopping habits, type of websites visited, etc... is all used by Google to make your online experience better, particularly where advertising is concerned, because lets face it... you're gonna see ads. Doesn't matter if you like them or not, you're going to see them. So wouldn't you rather see something that is of interest to you? That's why Google collects this information. To make the ads you see, more relevant to you. But this post isn't about online marketing, its about Google and it's products.

OK, so we've established that Google Mail is the email functionality, but encompassed in this are a few other nice and handy little features. Google Talk, Calendar and (my favourite) Contacts.

Google Talk is very much like MSN messenger. Quite simply, it's a chat applet. The clever and most useful ones though are the calendar and contacts. They are as you would expect. They are a calendar, and a store for your contacts. However, if like me, you are a smart phone user these are automatically synced with your phone. Meaning as you add new appointments, meetings, contact details, etc... to either interface (phone or Desktop) these are updated on Google's servers, giving you access to them wherever you are... 'Simples'.

Don't you just hate it, when you get a new phone and have to transfer all your details across? Contacts, meetings, photo's etc... You're Google account removed this issue. Once your data is stored on Google, you simply connect your new phone to Google, and viola... all your contacts and details are restored :) 

So those are the basics... But then there's more... More (much more, but I'm not going into all).

Another one of my favourites is Google Reader... There are soo many blogs, forums, sites of interest out there these days that have an RSS feed, it's hard to keep up. Anything from the BBC, through to your local Poodle lovers site... (In simple terms, an RSS feed is a URL which pulls through the posts on a blog, forum etc... Copying this feed url in to a feed reader will display them all in that app, reader, site, etc). Google Reader does just that.

If I come across a new site that I like, and it has an RSS feed, I simply click it, and subscribe using my Google ID. This feed subscription (free) is then added to my list of feeds, which again, I can access either via Google Reader online, or the mobile app. This allows me to keep up to date on news and updates on things that I find interesting, and most mornings, I spend my commute to work reading the latest Android, Disney, and Driftworks updates. 

Google+ (plus)

Google+ is Google's answer to Facebook... Slightly behind the times in coming out, but slowly getting bigger in terms of people using it. And, to be honest, I quite like it. Its got some great features in it, such as Hangouts (Like video chat-rooms which you create and talk to mates using video), Circles (similar to Facebook friend groups, but much easier to use, segment, create, etc... as well as the ability to share certain things, comments, posts with certain Circles). I think one of the best features to Google+ however, is its seamless integration with Picasa, Google photo sharing service. You can link all your photo albums on Picasa directly to your Google+ account, and share them through that. As well as being able to them instantly download (or upload) these to / from your smart phone.

So there's just a few of the things which I use on a daily basis from Google, and maybe Yahoo and MSN offer exactly the same and maybe some of you reading this now are just as happy with your Yahoo & MSN accounts, but there's something about Google that makes you feel secure, makes you feel like your data is safe. Afterall, I have never had my Google account hacked and used to send spam, but I have my Hotmail, and, I've never had spam emails from any of my mates using Google, but I have their Yahoo... 

HTC One X - 1 Week In

Right... as you will have no doubt gathered by now, I'm a bit of a geek, and love my techie things. Especially mobile phones and as I mentioned in my second post, I recently changed my Nexus for a HTC One X. I'm now a week into using it and thought (as many have) I would write a review on my thoughts, expectations and opinions of what I think to be HTC's greatest achievement to date.

Usually at this point, a week in to using a new mobile phone, I would have something to niggle about, something that just wasn't quite right. Because like a lot of men... I'm never happy, never satisfied. But... I can honestly say, with the HTC One X, this isn't the case. OK, so if I really wanted to be fussy, there are a couple of teeny weeny little things, but these are just things I'm finding for the sake of finding something. But I'll come onto these later.

First Impressions

I think the first thing you notice about the HTC One X is how well built it feels. Almost on par with the iPhone 4(s), only difference being you can feel confident that if you were to drop the One X, it wouldn't shatter into a million pieces, which is the feeling I always had with my iPhone.

 I've read some reviews that have slated the single piece, polycarbonate body, and lack of access to the battery, but I actually like this idea. Makes the phone feel much more solid and reliable. I've also read about people not being happy that you can't get access to the memory card, or add any kind of expansion to it... Really?? It's already 32Gb... What more do you want? I mean, I'm a huge music fan, and have a HUGE collection of music on my phone, and that's only taking up 20Gb of space, which leaves with with plenty more for other things. Its not like I want to store numerous films on there or more music that I can listen to in a week. There's just no need for it.

The Screen

'Amazing'... That's quite simply the only word that can be used to explain the display on the HTC One X... the resolution is second to non, it's almost as tho the screen is floating on top of the glass and is crystal clear. It's responsive too, but I suppose that's to be expected coming from what, for the moment, is the worlds most powerful mobile processor. The Tegra 3, quad core chip is definitely setting the bar here, and wow, what a bar it is to reach. I've not yet come across a situation where the processor starts to fail, or lag... It's seamlessly jumps from app to app, opening and closing windows, files, apps, whatever you ask it to do, it does it within a fraction of a second and amazingly smooth.

Whilst we're on the subject of 'switching from app to app'... one of the little things I mentioned above, about being silly little niggles for the sake of finding them. One of the things I have noticed with the HTC One X, is how using the 'recent apps' button, doesn't actually show you the apps in their open state... it shows you a screen shot of them, and selecting them, zooms in on the screen shot, and then loads the app as apposed to showing the actual app and zooming into that. Sounds strange, I know, and not the easiest thing to explain without showing it on the actual handset. But when using the same feature on the Nexus, it was the live app that was shown, and selecting it would instantly jump back into the app. Whereas now, there is a millisecond of a delay as the phone switches from the screen shot, to the live app. Again, not an issue to discourage anyone at all from the HTC One X. It's just another one of those things that you would kinda expect 'not' to see from such a high end device.

Camera

I'm a huge photography fan... and although I'm by far no David Bailey, I can take some pretty good shots, and like to know that my phones camera isn't going to let me down when the perfect moment for a great shot passes by. The HTC One X definitely lives up to the mark on this one also... Similar to a lot of smart phones out there now, you are able to access the camera straight from the unlock screen. However, unlike most smart phones, which use the main processor to handle the image taking tasks. The HTC One X uses a new ImageSense processor, a dedicated chip only for the camera. This makes the One X camera amazingly fast, whether it’s the focusing time or the shot to shot time. 

It also has an awesome quick burst mode, which although is pretty quick, isn’t as fast as the machine gun sound the phone makes when you use it, which leads you to believe you have actually taken more shots that you have. That said, it's great to capture those actions shots, when you're not quite sure when to press the button. With the One X, you simple press and hold the shutter button and the phone does the rest. allegedly, it can take up to 99 shots in a minute, although I'm not sure why you would want to.

I'm not really big on taking video's so can't really comment on the video recording capabilities of the One X, but I've read reviews that have raved about this just as much as its still image capturing ability. There is a nice feature in the playback however, which allows you to take stills straight from the video. Which I'm sure comes in quite handy.

Music

Now this is probably one of the highest things up on my list of important factors of a smart phone. Its music playing capabilities, purely because, as mentioned above, I'm a huge music fan and the majority of the time, can be found listening to my music wherever I may be... Usually on my commute to and from work. Music playback on the Nexus was a huge let down. Not only was the max volume far too low, but its equaliser was also pretty poor and the bass was non existent. Even through my  Beats earphones, my 'Drum & Bass' and 'DubStep' were more like 'Drum & .......' and 'TinStep'. Which was really disappointing considering this was supposed to be Google's flagship device.

The HTC One X however, is a different beast all together. I suppose this comes from the Beats by Dre processor tucked away in that shell, although I've never used another Dre handset so couldn't comment. The HTC One X tho is amazing. This is the first handset where I haven't constantly had my volume turned up to max, purely because on max, the music would be deafening... The bass is also top notch, and even through my cheap JVC earphones (the Beats have died) the music quality is crisp and clear.

It's a nice interface too, easy to use, fast to respond and has to neat little features in it, including the ability to download album art, fetch additional info on the artist and / or album via SoundHorn as well as the ability to share what you are listening to straight onto your favourite social network.

Overall

I think it's pretty obvious from the above that I am over the moon with the new HTC One X, and am pretty confident that its going to be on top of the 'smart phone league table' for some time. From reading previews of the new Galaxy S3 also, I don't think that's going to be much threat either. It would appear that HTC are making a comeback with one hell of a punch and with the HTC One X, they are definitely re-setting all the bars for the likes of Samsung and Apple to try and reach.

The Handbag...

Well... here it is... here is the result of what happens when you ask a woman to write a post for you blog :)

Content kindly donated by my dear Mum today :) (thanks Mum xoxox)

Yes ladies, we all have one, or one hundred and one ! And we still desire/buy/require/NEED, more!!

Handbags are a woman’s best friend. You can go without a lot of things, in this day and age, but the one thing a woman does not leave the house without, is her beloved handbag.

It may amuse you to learn that it was men, yes men, in the 14th century, that first carried a “handbag“. It was a measure of ones social status!! [ooo er. It wasn’t until the 19th century that the term ‘handbag’ emerged, to describe handheld luggage designed for rail travel.

Hence, all of our lusted after names such as Hermes, [who were in fact saddlers], Mulberry, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior, etc. started life making large luggage ! [yep, the kitchen sink did in fact fit]

So next time your dearly beloved dares to pass comment [also known as complaining] about your increasingly large collection - blame him !

Drifting... #1

Drifting - To Drift - To purposely force the car into an oversteer, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner.

A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa). Also known as 'opposite-lock'.

I blame my parents for both my love of motorsport and the burning passion I have for taking part. Throughout my childhood years we we're involved in a catalogue of activities from 2 wheels to 4, from water to forest. All of which I loved to be involved with and learnt a great deal from. Whether it was helping my Dad build a Rover V8 engine in the hallway of the flat at 12 years old (and destroying my skate board whilst trying to move it - "Yes, I remember, Dad"), to watching them tearing across the countryside in the Ricker. I loved every minute of it.

When I was young, drifting wasn't really on the scene, as I feel if it were, that would have been another sport my parents would have had a go at.... It's only really become big over here in the last few years. Probably coincides with the release of Fast & Furious, Tokyo Drift in 2006.

Needless to say, now, It's huge... From small local events ('Run What You Brung' days) where privateers can turn up in their daily driver and thrash it out across a simple drift course, right through to national championships, on national race tracks - filled with (what are now becoming) well known teams such as Japspeed and Team Orange (US). The sport even has it's own local celebrity, Shane Lynch, who following the demise of Boyzone, donned his helmet and became a 'professional' drift racer for Team Japspeed.

I don't quite know what it is about drifting that I find so compelling, maybe its the thought of being completely out of control, but at the same time maintaining complete control. Maybe its the noise the cars make whilst in a full 4 wheels slide at 60/70MPH, with the rev counter bouncing off the limiter as the flames shoot out of the exhaust. Or maybe, its just memories of watching Tiff Needell on Top Gear as a young boy, purposely sliding cars around the test track in complete control. I really have no idea where this passion for the sport has come from, but I do know that this is going to be my next hobby, and am pretty sure, once I get going... Is going to be what this blog will mostly consist of.

But first things first... I need to find a car... 

Now there are many to chose from in the world of drifting, but of course there are a select few favourites out there, but in the end, it all comes down to your budget. If money were no object, they say that the Scoobie Impreza has an amazing chassis for drifting... just doesnt have what it takes in the engine department and can often be found with full Toyota Supra engine and running gear in them. But that's only when you have money to burn. Another couple of popular cars are Skylines and Silvia's (S13, S14 & S15) but again.. these can work out to be pretty expensive. I need something cheap... something cheerful... and most importantly, something that's not gonna bother me on my first attempt to drift when I ends up in a ditch, against a wall, or round a tree... cause lets face it... It's going to happen. It's not a case of IF... its a definate WHEN! :)

All that said, that still leaves me with a few options to go from... There's plenty of cheap BMW's out there, all of which are rear wheel drive (RWD) and with a little bit of a diet (stripped out of all interior, doorcards, excess weight, etc...) I'm sure it would make the perfect beginners drift car.

So there you have it... That's my new, up and coming project... Will keep you all posted on my progress with reports and possibly some pics as and when they come.

Pram Envy!

Yes, you read it right... as the title says, this article about a new phenomenon called 'Pram Envy', what's more worrying, is that this craze isn't coming from women, it's coming from men... 

I first heard about this last week when out in London with Family, when the girlfriends sister-in-law commented on a pram... and then another... and another. She laughingly said "It's Pram Envy". I laughed at first as tho she was just messing about and said the first thing that came off her tongue. 

But no, Pram Envy actually exists.

So I've done a bit of research into it, and its true... some of the comments made are almost as tho these people are buying a new car. “Great off road”, “handles like a dream”, “nice bodywork”…I mean... All these phrases were once reserved for men describing their motors, but now, these phrases are as likely to be used by new mum's and dad's alike, expressing the virtues of their 'baby’s wheels'.
Makes you wonder what's next... Pimp my pushchair ??? Soon the local shopping centre in gonna be flooded with Mothercare's latest range of buggy rolling on 20's.
On a recent survey carried out by the Yellow Pages, a quarter of men admitted to being envious over another man's pram, whilst the same amount admitted to boasting about theirs.

So next time your in the pub, you can forget hearing talks about the latest footie results, or the latest Porsche 911... This week's topic over a beer is prams... NOT IN MY PUB ITS NOT!!!

A couple of other interesting facts to come from the survey;

• Nearly a third (30%) of all men chose their pram because of the special features – and more than a quarter (28%) chose theirs for its handling and manoeuvrability
• Special features a bloke would like to see on a pram include an electric cover, a DVD player, live football scores, satellite navigation, power steering ('really?') and even a speedometer 
• Seven per cent would compare their pram to a Porsche 911

And my personal favourite...

• More than a quarter (27%) of new dads have give their pram a weekend wash and polish!

So there you go... Pram Envy in a nutshell... Think I'm gonna forget the idea of building myself a drift car, and set out to build a pram... no doubt it will get me kudos in my local boozer... (or not!)

I'll leave you all with a graphic that Mama's & Papa's came up with as the ultimate 'Man-Pram' would look like... Read it and weep guys... 

Clash Of The Titans

OK... So, I'm a bit of a geek, and a wannabe techie, especially when it comes to mobile phones; or should I say Smart Phones. Small pocket sized PC's which, I'm sure most of us couldn't live without. I know I couldn't. 

In this ever changing marketplace (or should I say 'battleground') There are 3 big names to pick from. Apple, Android and Windows. Now I've never really given Window's phones the time of day and don't really have any interest in them. OK, so I've had a quick play with a Nokia Lumia in my local Phones4U, but it's never been a purchase consideration. So for me... that leaves just 2. 

Over the last 9 months or so, I've had 3 phones... An iPhone 4s, a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now, a HTC One X... all of which I are really amazing phones and although there will be people out there who will agree, disagree with some of the things I will go on to say in this post, I have finally realised which, for me, is the best phone / operating system out there.

When the iPhone 4s was launched and my HTC Desire was on its last legs (literally) I decided that it was time to give in and go with the crowd. Everyone I knew had or wanted an iPhone. Everywhere you went, you saw people using them. Which I think is one of the reasons I didn't want one. I didn't want to follow the crowd. But, peer pressure n'all... I went and got one. 

As soon as you receive the box that the phone comes in, you are immediately aware of the quality, care and attention that goes in to apple products... OK, so there is no care or consideration in to the environment and the amount of tree's that are chopped down to form the neat, hard wearing cardboard box that it comes in, nor the amount of ink used to print the immensely high res logo on the box... but who cares when you're spending £500 on a phone (if you were to buy one outright). You want quality, you want shiny, and you want to feel that it was money worth spent. And that's definitely a feeling you get when you buy any Apple product. 

And, the quality doesn't stop at the box (thankfully)... the phone is extremely pretty, well built, and heavy ("Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work, you can always hit him with it." - Name that film??)... Even the key that's used to eject the perfectly formed aluminium tray for the sim card is a well-machined piece of aluminium.

But that's enough about the looks... what is it like to use? Very simple... almost too simple. In fact, I think the biggest let down to the iPhone is its greatest asset. Its too simple, and too 'does what it says on the tin'. As my girlfriend, Sally said to me the other night. The iPhone lacks that 'fun factor'. But I'll come on to that later.

There's no doubt, that in terms of smoothness and responsiveness, you will never beat Apple products. That's what sets them above the rest. Its flawless. The slightest flick of the screen or tap on an icon seamlessly launches apps, without the slightest of delay.

2 important things for me when it comes to a mobile is its music capabilities and its camera quality, both of which the iPhone lives up to the mark. In terms of music, as you would expect, the iPhone works perfectly. I found it really easy to organise my albums, create playlists and play them to a high standard. All through an attractive interface. But a phone which follows in the success of the iPod, you wouldn't expect anything else.

The camera also lives up to the mark, and producing some amazing shots. Although, as with a lot of phones, night time shots weren't up to much.

So why did I want to change? I hear you ask... well, as I mentioned earlier... the iPhones biggest flaw, is its biggest asset. Its too simple and easy to use. Its too... 'does what it says on the tin'... I wanted a phone I could mess about with, access the folder structures, change things, animated wallpapers, fancy widgets, etc.... everything that the iPhone lacks. 

So, around the same time that Android released ICS and the Galaxy Nexus, I decided that it was time for a change. I have always been a fan of Android, and Google. Any one that names their operating systems after deserts gets my vote. Samsung just haven't got it quite right. Not really sure what it was about the Nexus, I could never quite put my finger on it, just didn't make me smile. So, wasn't long after selling my 4s and buying a new Nexus that I realised that as much as I missed Android, (from having my Desire). What I missed the most was HTC's front end to it, Sense. 

Silly little things like the weather animation you get when you unlock the screen. The pretty clock widget on the home screen. All of which, I'm sure you can download an app for the Nexus to do, but it wouldn't be the same. It would be a copy... And copies (just like watches) are never as good as the original.

Yes the Nexus is a nice phone. The screen resolution is amazing... Extremely crisp and clear, more so than the 4s, but every time I looked at it, I knew there was something missing from it. 

I think I had the Nexus for 3 months in total, until HTC released their new flagship phone... The HTC One X... After a couple of visits to Phones4U to play around with one I realised that I needed this in my life... Totally 'shabatronic' (a word my girlfriend and her mate have just randomly given me and said I have to fit into my blog... but actually figure it fits quite well). But anyway... The HTC One X... What a phone.

Top marks to HTC for releasing, what I personally think, has to be one of (if not the) best phone currently on the market....

... Now to wait for the iPhone 5 ;) 

My First Entry...

It's 2012 and we're well into the digital era... Blogs, Social Networks, Tweets, Status', and Photo sharing... the list is endless. And for years I have been saying to myself that I'm going to start a blog. But unlike a lot of things we men 'say' we're going to do... the reason for me not starting one was not down to laziness.
The main reason for it taking me so long to actually start a blog was to do with content, and what my blog should be about. What angle should I take? What do people want to read about that hasn't already been written? Then it suddenly dawned on me that I don't have to base it around one particular subject. I could write about whatever I liked...

So that's how I came up with the name... The Do's & Doing's... Because that's exactly what this blog is about... Things I do, and am doing… 'Simples' (cue, funny meerkat noise).

For those of you that know me, you will know throughout my very short existence on this earth (a mere 29 years) I have actually been through, and done an awful lot. Both good and bad. But this blog isn't about my past, it's about my future... (If I were to write a post on my past it would be a novel). Needless to say, when it’s been good, it’s been amazing, and when it’s been bad... BUT! What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

I hope to keep this blog up to date as much as I can, and on many things; including Technology, mobile phones, my industry (Online Marketing) as well as other things, such as the Do's and Doing's.

So there it is... My first ever blog post, which I will leave you with my favourite quote, which I live my life to... Yesterday is history. Tomorrow's a mystery. Live every moment as though it’s a gift... That's why it’s called 'The Present'.
