If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • A Tern for the…Best?

    What’s a good title without a pun? This one requires a little context. Yet Another E-bike Journey After being burned by VanMoof with a few lovely e-bikes that ended up as minor horror stories, my approach changed. If I was going to wade in again, it was going to be with a company that used…

  • Computer Building

    I’m getting behind again, but I’m back to say that my computer building is now complete, and the system has been gratefully received by the new owner. My budget was £600, for a computer that was primarily to be used for photo editing. With the budget, and the purpose, you can get a very good…
