Pretty much everyone has a mobile phone these days and we are all on them for a lot of time during the day and night. We are taking photos and videos, sharing posts and news events, writing blogs etc and posting them on our many social networks. So why not make a little money while we are doing it? Paybookclub is an app for Android where you can keep socializing in exactly the same way that you do right now but it enables you to monetize your posts as well.

It's kinda hard to believe that, considering just how far back computer games go, the runner game is a relatively new phenomenon. The first real endless runner game is generally considered to be a game called Canabalt back in 2009 but you can go back a few years to see its inspiration in a Korean game called Nom. Having said that however, my older gaming friends insist that they used to play something not dissimilar to a runner way back in the 80's. Anyway, now that we're in 2021 there have been a whole heap of runner games and they just keep getting better and better.  More

The relationships that we have with the people around us changes depending on who they are. For example, the things we tell our grandparents aren't necessarily the same things that we would tell our best friends. Likewise, the things we tell our family probably aren't the things that we want our boss at work to know. Yet all could quite easily feature in one of our social media accounts and there are a hell of a lot of them these days. So, how can we ensure an element of privacy between ourselves and those very different people that are part of our daily circle of acquaintances?  More

"I can't believe it was that easy!" Those were the first words that my partner offered up after the birth of our daughter. Yeah, I understand that all births aren't going to be that easy but we had done all our homework, read heaps of great material, been to all the classes and done all the exercises to ensure the best outcome. We had got ourselves into a relaxed and calm state, had the best advice and a great midwife and, amazingly enough, everything went according to plan. For most people, a lot of this advice comes from visits to birth classes but now, in the digital age, there are some ...  More

As I'm sure we all know, this last couple of years has been rather trying when it comes to catching up with our friends and loved ones around the globe. Some may be just up the road, some on the other side of the country and others may be on the other side of the world. Unfortunately, it's not as easy to meet up in person now as it might have been in better days. Even when we can't visit, we try to keep up in other ways - by sending cards and emails or by phone or text - but we are busy people and it's not easy to remember everything. What we need is a damned good social organizer to ...  More

The author Malcolm Gladwell detailed an experiment in his book What The Dog Saw some years back regarding the misnomer of the job interview. While some employers went through the whole business of an hour long interview (and sometimes multiple interviews) to find the right person for the job, there was a definite argument that the same outcome could be achieved with a 15 second video clip of their first meeting. Eventually, he got the same results from a two second clip. From Gladwell's story, one could get the impression that everything comes down to the moment when a candidate walks into ...  More

I guess that, if there's one thing that we could all do with during these troubled times, it's a bit of humor. Just a joke or a funny meme or a humorous story would do nicely. When it's done well, laughter can lift our spirits and change the way we look at the world. In some cases, it can even be the thing that turns a bad day into a good one. Let's face it, if you turn the tv news on these days, there's a pretty good chance that you'll see some pretty depressing or harrowing stories from all around the world. Every bulletin seems to start off with news about Covid, news about the weather ...  More

So why do we need a new tool to convert our HTML pages into PDF's when there are a whole heap of free tools already available and at our disposal? Well, there's a simple answer to that and it's called quality. Sure there are heaps of conversion tools out there and some may already be on your very own computer. However, most of them are either very basic or massively expensive. The free ones often create their own set of problems. They tend to be language specific, they aren't updated very often (if at all) and they only provide a very basic service. The ones that you pay for can be quite ...  More

Is there a bigger enigma in this crazy world of ours than cryptocurrency? There are very few that seem to have grasped the concept of it yet but the ones that do seem to be making a fortune if you believe what you read in the papers. Even more so than regular money markets, cryptocurrency appears to be extremely volatile and things can change in a millisecond - especially if Elon Musk comes out and makes a bizarre comment about it. If you aren't on the ball, you can lose thousands between the time you go to bed and the time you get up.   More
