Isle Trotting
This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

Bean to Cup?
More like Bank to Box to Bean to Cup. Scratch that. Birth to Business to Bank to Box to Bean to Cup, if we’re being accurate about it. Yes, this is my first foray into the world of Bean to Cup coffee machines after exploring Aeropress, a manual espresso machine (Saeco Poemia), the V60, mokka,…

Swearing Makes Everything Better
How else are you going to fix a bike? I’m back to tackling the VanMoof X3. After a bit of playing around with the problem bike, I found out that there is an issue with the internal wiring. The bike doesn’t show any speed until the handlebars are turned fully, suggesting a faulty connection. I…
