For a London-based launch, that was pretty good. Not surprising, really, as it was the first time Steve Jobs had done a presentation in the UK since returning to Apple eight or so years ago, so they were bound [...]

What depressing reading the election results make, with seemingly every nation across Europe - including the ones that have only just been admitted to the club - voting in large chunks for parties that art Eurosceptic.
That’s not to say that the majority of people didn’t want to stay in Europe. The majority, after all, didn’t [...]

Well, Apple suddenly seems to be very big news, and all because of a briefing that’s happening tomorrow morning. Invites only. Bring along a driving license, or passport or some kind of photo ID. Lots of gossip and speculation, not many facts. Guest list approved by the US.
Hmmm… of course, everyone reckons it’s the launch [...]

The Statue of Liberty engulfed by a massive tidal wave. Four simultaneous tornados destroying Los Angeles. Hail stones the size of footballs killing people in the streets of Tokyo. Hmmm… The effects were good, but The Day After Tomorrow was so formulaic it actually got quite dull after the first hour.
It did, however, have some [...]

Hmmm… a fairly crappy day all in all. Of the jobs I wanted to get done, I’ve done… ooh… about one out of ten. That’s in spite of getting up at half six this morning and skipping the gym so I could get to work, then arriving home at 10 tonight.

The turn-out in Britain for the last set of European elections was the lowest in the whole continent. Is there any wonder? Three election leaflets popped through my door today, ready for the box ticking on Super Thursday. None of them was from one of the main domestic parties. Instead, we had the British National [...]

Since when did running get so difficult? I can manage 50 minutes on the treadmill, but on the road tonight, having realised I’d left it too late to swim (which I did yesterday anyway), I was in agony after just 15. I’ve not had a proper stitch in years.
This means one of three things:
1. I’m [...]

Lots of PR whoring yesterday. Lunch at the Savoy first, for which I wore a proper shirt with buttons and long sleves. Very out of character for me, and elicited more than one comment about having clearly been for an interview.
I think, on reflection, I could probably have got away with a t-shirt. We ate [...]

I have so much Euro 2004 kit now that I could almost get added to the hooligan list and banned from leaving the country. Ironic, really.
Two Euro 2004 tops (official, apparently, in very tasteful charcoal). Two baseball caps (again, apparently the real deal, but they make my ears stick out). Two identical mouse pads, circular [...]
