HBO Max and Paramount+: What It Might Mean For Sports
Today the deal was done, and Paramount took over Warner Bros. Discovery in a massive deal that has much of Hollywood quaking. There were some last minute wrinkles with a deal being struck a couple of weeks ago with a group of US Attorneys General, with the general view being that they folded and didn’t…

HTC One X – Some Initial Thoughts
I’ve finally upgraded my by now venerable HTC Desire. In choosing a new phone, I knew it had to do a number of things. It was almost certainly going to be an Android device. It was certainly not going to be an iOs device (If I buy a computer, I get to choose what I…

North Norfolk
I’ve been working through a backlog of photos that I hadn’t processed recently. I thought I’d cross post a few more from Flickr. More of this set can be seen here.

One Night
On BBC1 this week, there’s been an excellent drama over three nights, with a final fourth episode tonight. One Night tells the goings on over a single twenty four hour period in an inner-city part of London. Each episode tells one side of the story, starting with Ted (Douglas Hodge) who lives in his fairly…

Sport on TV – Racing
Channel 4 has just done a deal with the Racecourse Media Group to become the exclusive free-to0air broadcaster of horse racing of all forms of horse racing in the UK. At first glance, it’d seem to be a good deal, with Channel 4 picking up the rights to prestigious events such as the Grand National,…

King’s Cross Station
I was expecting the new concourse at King’s Cross station to be open tomorrow. That’s when we’d been told it’d open. But sneakily, they actually opened it today. So although I hadn’t planned to, I had a bit of a look around. Now I’m no expert on architecture, and you’d best look elsewhere if you…

Games on the High Street
Now I’m not much of a gamer these days. I take a broad interest in the industry and perhaps buy one – maybe two – games a year. I have an Xbox 360, but my Wii hasn’t been switched on in many months. Anyway, I say this as I’m vaguely aware that Mass Effects 3…

Gmail’s Worst Feature
The more I see it, the more I hate and loathe Gmail’s utterly awful and relatively recent innovation, its “Consider including” functionality. It pops into a space under the “To” box when I add an address to an email. I think Google think it’s useful in some way. It’s not. Here’s the thing: when I…

Olympic Stadium and Velodrome
At the weekend, I was lucky enough to get along to a day of the UCI Track World Cup series in the new Olympic Velodrome as part of the London Prepares series. Lots of photos to come. But in the meantime, the buildings looked stunning – the velodrome in particular.

Promise TV
[I wrote this on Google+, but decided it should probably exist, in a revised version, here too] I remember hearing about Promise TV several years ago at Open Tech 2005, so it’s nice to see that there’s a real product now available to buy. In essence they’ve built a Freeview recorder that records every programme…
