Humans have been protecting their feet with some kind of covering for at least 26,000 years. Some studies of the bones of ancient humans suggest as long as 40,000 years. The Egyptians were the first to take this seriously, creating pads of leather or papyrus bound to the foot with two straps. Depending on region [...]
If my Granddad were still alive this year, we’d be celebrating his hundredth birthday. We often made fun that his birth was the second major disaster of 1912. When he died he took a thousand stories with him. And just as many songs. He was a guarded man. The few stories we shared only offered [...]
It’s all well and good having a 36 megapixel camera but unless you have the processing power and bandwidth with which to edit and upload, you’re going to spend more time fiddling with your photos on a screen than actually taking them. The above image what shot in an allotment with the Nikon D800 set [...]
As people search for the ultimate in shiny mobile blogging tools, I’m sometimes asked.. “What’s your most important bit of kit?” In the past, without thinking, I’ve said my smartphone. In reality it’s my sim card and the data connection that it offers. I have countless ways of documenting what’s around me. Various smart phones [...]
I don’t grow a beard. Thankfully it grows itself. This allows me to achieve something visible to all with very little effort on my part. I like it. It’s a mask, its warm in winter, handy with an open face helmet on a motorbike and often it gives people the wrong impression of me. And [...]

An introduction from Sir John Scarlett, Chairman of the Bletchley Park Trust and following talks from Captain Jerry Roberts, Bletchley Park wartime Codebreaker, Sir John [...]
My much loved Triumph Scrambler 900 is with Spirit Of The 70′s for customisation. Some people change their bike every year. I’ve had a few bikes but I feel this one is for keeps and I’d like to make it something even more special. Even more mine. I fell in love with my Triumph seconds after pulling out of [...]
My full 40at40 list is here on OurManInside.com This blog text is taken from here For me my ’40 at 40′ list is an excuse to do forty crazy or unusual things in a year where people think I might perhaps be losing the plot. If it’s on a list it’s premeditated and can’t be confused with those [...]
I’m 40 today. When I was a kid I thought that I’d feel like an old man at this age but I don’t. I still feel like a kid. Like another version of that same kid that found it impossible to visualise what life would be like this far into the future. Now I’m here [...]
I’m trying out ‘Covert Browser’ on the iPad. It’s not a cheap app at £1.99 but I can’t find anything else Tor enabled in the official app store. If the integration of the open source version of Tor is working correctly then this app should offer not only unmonitored Internet browsing but also access to [...]
