Over the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about freshening up this blog. Ever since the last WordPress update (3.0) I’ve been having performance issues with my previous theme Rockstar 1.2.1, which was image heavy.
So I’ve gone for a stripped down theme – Magazine Basic, that I hope resolves the performance issues whilst giving a coherent look and feel.
I would welcome your feedback on this new blog format.
Competition Time!
I had a great response to the blog post on using social media channels to take the sting out of the recent tube strikes in London. The next tube strike, if it does go ahead, will take place on the 28th November 2010.
Rather than dwell on the negative aspects around the strike I want my fellow commuters to send their online video’s, photos, and personal written experience on how they plan to manage the next strike.
The top 5 entries will then be put to the public vote (X-factor style!!) where the most popular entry will receive a £10 iTunes Gift Voucher.
Go London Go!
I’ve created the following groups where you can upload your photos, videos, and comments

Competition will close for new entries on the 29th November and the winning entry with the most votes selected on the 6th December.
Look forward to you entries. Go London Go!

Evidently the £10 itunes gift voucher is of no use if you live outside on the UK.
It’s been called a game changer, and the future of computing but here are my reasons why I will not be rushing out to buy  or pre-order the Apple iPad 1.0 just yet
