Gamble? Not with your future.
Honestly, I’ve never been big into gambling. The closest I’ve come is buying a lottery ticket when I was 18. While I understand the excitement, the science, and compulsion, it has just never been a huge draw for me personally. There are many things that fall into the category of gambling. You can choose to…

As Promised
Every year. Every damned year. Well, these people caught me on a morning when I feel unwell and decidedly curmudgeonly. So here’s their email and my reply. This is Helena from Compelson, the creators of MobilEdit. Hello Lee, Unfortunately we didn’t receive any invitation from you, that is time to vote… Any chance we could…

Awards Badges
Last year I had a request to create an awards badge that people could use on their website, email signature, etc. I created a single one that just said “winner” at the top. This year I’ve gone further and created a badge for each category. If you’re a winner in this year’s awards then please…
Forensic 4:cast Awards – Video

This means that I can’t listen to the radio at all during my commute to work or while traveling to various on-site engagements. Instead I listen to audiobooks and podcasts. One…
NOT An April Fools
Last year’s post resulted in a lot of angry people. Some of them still haven’t forgiven me. This year I’m really not in a joking mood. It seems as if I only post when the awards are happening or when something is happening in my personal life. Today is the latter. I write this as…

Thou mayest nominate a multitude of nominees,…
