I saw a MAME cabinet on eBay a few months and I very nearly bought it. I could have saved myself a lot of time and effort there, instead of attempting to build one myself. But it was still quite expensive and I wouldn’t have…
I think I’ve mentioned before on this blog that my health insurance, Prudential Vitality, does an amazing perk of offering its customers a free cinema ticket every single week. It’s only for Cineworld or Vue cinemas but it’s still an incredible offer. It used to…
I’m a big podcast listener. Maybe it’s because I do 4 hours of commuting per day, so I get a fair amount of time to listen to them. And there’s never been as much podcast choice for us geeks as there is right now. There…
