We've been playing with YouTube this weekend. I think the HD features of my Canon IXUS 100 are nothing short of phenomenal.

The best part about CD baby, is that it's free. Yes, it's free. You only have to pay a one-time service fee of $30 to set up your account. That is to cover their warehouse expenses, but after that there are no other fees. CD baby only keeps 9% of your...

We're currently trying to get Ange Hardy's finished album ('Windmills and Wishes') heard by the people who need to hear it. We've got a lot of leads. Leads are good, they're a start. Hopefully they'll lead to something else. The Internet is also good,...

Good Friday was great this year. We woke up with egg sandwiches (home baked bread and eggs from our chickens), we dug and planted Amy's flower garden, and made some good progress with the new vegetable patch (now I've started digging the turf under...

I've rather slated Stress Free Print in the past (okay, I was fairly harsh), but I've just got Ange's new tour posters back from them and they turned the job around very quickly, did a good job, and matched the colours very well this time! A bit irked...

So, we got the chickens today! 'Choc', the brown one, is a Columbian Blacktail and 'Obo', the white one, is an Amber Star. Both are 18 weeks old, so they should start laying fairly soon. I named them about 6 months ago, Liz made us the coop for Christmas,...

As I was riding into work this morning I couldn't help but swear into my helmet when I noticed that the price of petrol seems to have quietly risen up to almost £1.07 per litre again. Although I'm surprised by the rising cost of petrol I can't exactly...
