I’ve had a pretty bad run of predicting UFC fights lately and it seemed like lady luck was against me. First Brock Lesnar got absolutely demolished and then Matt Hughes. If there was a slight silver lining it was that Rampage Jackson beat Lyoto Machida (barely). But this weekend made up for all of it … Continue reading UFC 124

10 types of managers to avoid
As the old saying goes, you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends. I’m not sure which category managers fall into. On one hand they are thrust upon you by the organisation, “ye shall report to thee” and you have no say in the matter. On the other hand the counter-argument … Continue reading 10 types of managers to avoid

UFC 121 Post-Event Fighter Share Prices
I’ve developed a way of ranking professional fighters in a far more scientific method than most websites lame “Pound for Pound” rankings go.

But judging by the video, he wasted an opportunity to deliver a revolutionary speech. So Dana, for next time you ever get a chance to deliver … Continue reading I have a dream
Designing the perfect keyboard
The computer keyboard has been around since… well since computers have been around. However, it hasn’t seemed to evolve much and I’m sure there are many keys we can do without. So the challenge I’ve set is to identify all the keys which are redundant and design a superior keyboard. The methodology is simple. Remove … Continue reading Designing the perfect keyboard

So for those younglins who don’t have a clue what I’m talking … Continue reading Oldies
I’m not a sensitive person but…
I’m a man… no I mean a REAL man. You know like how men are supposed to be. Rugged, hairy, carry a stick around, enticed by the thrill of the hunt and expect my woman to stay at home to cook, clean and look after the babies. To get an idea of my ultra manliness … Continue reading I’m not a sensitive person but…
