The day that’s been on my mind for a while has now been and gone; I’ve finally taken my first ABRSM exam and have lived to tell the tale… just.
Preparation
A day off work to do some final practice and generally relax before the 3.06pm exam started. Methodically worked through […]
“What Do You Love” was quietly released from Google over these last few days along with a nice and subtle refresh of their search engine design, the Google+ network and Google Takeout.
The concept is simple: the site presents a text input box and asks […]
It’s Tuesday again and over the past two weeks since my previous piano lesson I’ve been able to practice at the piano for approximately 3 hours (in total). That’s a bit rubbish but I’m being honest here rather than the “Oh yes I’ve practised every day for an hour” that I expect I should be telling my piano teacher.

One of the most annoying part of my daily commute home from work is getting stuck in traffic, driving along at 10-20mph knowing that at any point my children will be going to bed and I’ll miss them, maybe by only a few minutes but enough that they may well already be passed out! It’s incredibly […]
A short but very good presentation by German agency ‘Precious’ on how multiple screens allow for much more integrated design and interaction possibilities.

Developed by BBH London and starring Allan McNish who is the Audi […]
I suppose it had to happen at some point… Got a cat? Got an iPad (or laptop/monitor/phone you don’t mind getting scratched up)? Then visit the Friskies Games for Cats for some apps for your cats…

The Sunday Times have done a very clever thing indeed. Faced with the challenge of promoting their 2011 Rich List the Times have created the ultimate social ego boost – The Social List. Simply connect your social networks to the site (currently it’s allowing Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and FourSquare) and then […]
Last night’s lesson went well for a change. Having spent what little time I’ve had available to practice this last week on perfecting scales and chords they went fine as expected. However sight reading was a particular pain as usual so in the 4 weeks(ish) left until the Grade 1 ABRSM exam I’ve decided to look into how best […]
