Earlier today, we celebrated Aria’s Christening and it was a truly special event. Athough every day I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have such a loving family around me - with my beautiful wife Andrea (Andi) and two adorable children, Colin and Aria - it’s these [...]

Looks like I made the right decision. With knowledge of 3 new systems coming down the pipeline - Microsoft’s XBox 360, Sony’s Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Revolution - I had to choose one. Sony - which promised a lot at last year’s E3 conference (including a system launch in Spring 2006) finally blinked under [...]

One or two good episodes and it’s easy to dismiss it as hyperbole. You sit and await the inevitable moment when the house of cards you were just admiring catches a gust and topples [...]
