My Definitive 2010 Kona Unit Review

My Kona Unit has gone through a myriad of changes since I bought it in November last year. It’s still an insanely fun bike to ride and I’m pleased with how versatile it’s become. Greeny is my race bike, all mountain trail bike, single speed bike, down hill bike and I’ve even thought about converting(click to read the full post)

Bike Riding, Statistically Speaking.

The summary of this post is that I’ve been riding a hell of a lot more in 2010 than I was in 2009. The long version includes some quickfire stats… In the first 70 days of this year, I’ve ridden half of what I did in 365 days last year. (1230kms for 70 days of(click to read the full post)

2009 in bikes.

Seeing as Liz has gone and gotten all statistical on the year’s ass, I figured I’d do some number crunching of my own… For the last year and a bit I’ve been keeping a diary of where/when/how long I’ve been riding places… and it turns out I’ve ridden for 145(ish) hours.

Movie Review: Cloudy with a Chance of Meat Balls

A few weeks ago Liz and I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meat Balls. We like the occasional kids movie, having also watched (and liked) Up and a few others (which I can’t remember just now). I can safely say that Sony’s attempt at a Pixar’ish feature film was up there with the best.(click to read the full post)

Two Shiny New Nokia E71s

Over the weekend Liz and I hyped ourselves up over the Nokia E71. So much so that on Sunday we ended up visiting a Virgin Mobile Phone Store in the city and picking ourselves up matching phones and plans. I know, it doesn’t seem like me. I’m usually a tenth this impulsive… but in reality,(click to read the full post)

World of Goo Review

As Liz mentioned yesterday, I was (am?) thoroughly addicted to a game by the name of World of Goo. To know what it’s all about, hit play on the youtube’ish video below. World of Goo Trailer 2 Director’s Cutby 2dboy Yes! I know!! And it’s only twenty bucks. Twenty bucks is nothing when compared to(click to read the full post)

The Dark Knight

Over the weekend Liz and I finally got around to seeing The Dark Knight. Not only did we see it but we saw it in Imax style. Well, when I say style I actually mean the cinema was tired, old and run down, but by golly it had a big screen. Only getting there 20(click to read the full post)

Hancock Movie Review

Over the weekend Liz and I watched the movie Hancock. You know, the one where Wil Smith plays a drunken superhero guy? Yeah that one. Apart from a bit in the middle section where Liz and I both turned to one another and did a bit of Rove’s ‘What the?’, it turned out to be(click to read the full post)
