2013 promises to be one of the most transformative in tech ever. In fact, it's already started with the industry's biggest annual circus, CES, which saw the introduction of curved OLEDs, 4K TVs and tablets, 1080p smartphones, a smorgasbord of smartphone-connected gizmos, self-driving cars and the evolution of motion control.
Scots comedienne Janey Godley's daughter Ashley Storrie has decided to take up comedy again, after a gap of about 11 years (depending on how you calculate it). Ashley got her first acting part at the age of three as 'the wee girl in the metal tea urn' in the movie Alabama.

Picture the scene, it's a Tuesday evening at the Novello Theatre just off the Strand and I am sat between Ronnie Corbett and Andrew Scott (Moriarty from Sherlock). Dotted around us are the American from Downton, a man from War Horse, Patricia Routledge and Olivia Coleman. It could not have turned out better.
Two days ago, comedian Lewis Schaffer asked me to be on his weekly radio show next Monday and wrote in his blog that my own philosophy of blogging an...
I have to admit that my highlight of the week was seeing a show that I hardly knew anything about at Curve theatre in Leicester. As you've probably gu...
As the snow hits the ground and forces me into more desk-time than usual (the GSX650F is a fine bike, but it is no snow bunny!), I find the time to ru...
