002 – Eat in a Ukrainian Restaurant

Golupsie

The years are mounting up this side of my Granddads death and as well as the conversational glimpses into my family history, I find myself missing the food we would eat. He loved his food. In his final years, housebound and slowly going blind, conversation, food and the radio were his only real pleasures. My [...]

The Y-Cam Bullet IP Camera

Y-Cam Bullet

I got sent the Y-Cam Bullet last year and then when I moved home it found itself into a box, only to be re-discovered last week. Cables, adapters, wall/ceiling mount, power lead, optional sun visor etc, all  come in the box. I had already purchased a Y-cam S in black over 2 years ago (the older [...]

American – The Bill Hicks Story

I just got this in the post.  Bill Hicks is one of the reasons I do what I do now. At school we would pass around a cassette tape with his name in thick black marker pen. He is the reason I started shouting at the TV.. questioning the news. The reason I went to Iraq to see [...]

KeyCase iPad Folio Deluxe with Bluetooth Keyboard – Review

I first heard about the KeyCase iPad Folio Deluxe with Bluetooth Keyboard on the @BritishMac podcast. Apart from being the longest named iPad accessory I have come across, I thought it looked pretty handy. I found the @GearZap website and immediately got lost in the masses of iPad accessories. I asked @Gearzap on twitter if they had a unit I could review [...]

Films of Colour at The Cowshed in Milton Keynes

A few photos I took last night of the band @FilmsOfColour as they played at a small festival called Hushabye Mountain at The Cowshed ran by @DaveCowshed. Certainly a band you will be hearing a lot more of in the coming months. (Kit used: Nikon D3 with a few f2.8 lenses)

Panasonic Lumix GH1 (Quick Test)

This is a small test with the Lumix GH1. It’s a ‘hybrid’ camera I have only just bought, initially with the intention to videoblog with. I know this may seem like a bit of overkill but as I normally take a pro SLR and a video camera out on assignments I was thinking that this [...]

Samsung ST550 – Nearly a good camera

When i first saw the TV add for the Samsung ST550 I thought it would be a top vlogging camera. It’s duel screen would mean you could monitor the composition of your video as well as your photos. (Here is a short clip from the camera that cut off as tha memory card was crap.) SAM_st550.MP4 Watch [...]

Zoom Q3 (First Impressions)

After having a little play with the Zoom Q3 I give my first impressions and a little on what I hope for the Q4 or whatever it’s successor will be called. Zoom are on twitter as @ZoomUK

Canon Ixus 120is

I have blogged about this camera on my main blog OurManInside.com I though I’d better post something there as it has been seriously neglected since Posterous came along.

Petzl MYO RXP (First Look)

I just got hold of a Myo RXP from Petzl. Winter is setting in and living in the country means, like broadband, street lighting is not yet every where.   Some places I walk the dog are close to pitch black and where there are dogs, there’s poo. I guess I needn’t go any further. [...]
