I have always preferred the PSP to Nintendo DS but the Release of the DSI made me think that Sony need to get their act together. The release of the PSP Go made things a bit better. The PSP Slim and Lite is a great size because it is small enough to carry around but big enough to be usable. Considering it’s size the graphics are good on it, i admit some are much better than others. The home menu  is nice and has plenty of features that also work well. It is also good fun to get a go cam, but be warned, the picture quality is very bad. All in all I think that the PSP is a great console not only for traveling but for playing against each other at home.

The fireworks in London on new years eve.

Welcome to 2010!!  A new year and a new decade, I wonder how technology will move on between now and 2020. Just think how in 2000 we were looking at stuff like Play Station 1 and now we have 4 Tera Byte hard disks, 1080p HD TVs, Blu Ray DVD, I-Phones and HD Gaming on the X-BOX 360 and the Play Station 3. I am Interested to hear how you think things will move on between now and 2020. Also will you be calling this year twenty ten or two thousand and ten?

Me in a Lola

On the 28th of October we had a tour of the Lola factory in Huntingdon. It was surprising  how much stuff they made.

I learnt about the monocoque, which is where the driver sits, it is made out of  carbon fibre and is about the size of a dinner table and the weight is about 80kg.

I also saw the wind tunnel which was from the war. It was only a 50%  size, but it was still massive.

I also saw what would have been a 2010 F1 car, but LOLA were rejected by the FIA.
