I get asked a lot about what to buy by students in journo classes and I always give my a-professional-is-only-as-good-as-his-tools speech. Owning a professional-grade digital voice recorder with a high-sensitivity microphone is up there with a good wife. There are some things you just don’t […]

OK, I was honestly quite excited by the possibilities of Tokyo Ravens. I’d read the first couple of chapters of the manga, and they’d been fun. Danger, excitement, love, mystery, a rebellion, magic and spirits… yeah, it seemed like it could work. The hero, Harutora, […]
Alright, I’ll be the first to admit that there are times I am in need of attention. We all get that way sometimes. But there’s a difference between occasionally looking for some attention and actively seeking attention at all times. We call these people Attention […]
There’s a shiny silver version of Apple’s iPad arriving brand-new in the stores in spite of the usual round of January sales elsewhere. The ‘Air’ in iPad Air means that this new, top-of-the-line, full-size iPad is thinner and lighter than ever. Does it live up […]

Okay, so I’m a lifelong Doctor Who fan. I’ll repeat that, I’m a lifelong Doctor Who fan. Lifelong. That means I don’t just love the new series; I love the old series as well. To give you an example of what I mean, for Christmas […]
