Blogging Update
How to say update in different ways.
Dear Reader.
It's been a while since I wrote a proper blog and a few things have happened. No doubt you may have seen some of my Facebook updates, the latest part of Doctor Who - Virus in Time and my archery news.
Well archery is certainly taking up a good part of my weekends now, which is no bad thing. I have said so many times now just how good it is, the fun, the excitement, the shooting and the club.
Recently the number of competitions has increased both home and away for this indoor season. I have been able to post new personnal best in the Portsmouth round of 538 out of 600.
Considering I have been shooting for just over a year now I do feel really pleased with my progress. Of course dear reader I want more, which is not bad. You can just go and shoot for pleasure if you want. Not many sports let you enjoy the pure pleasure of the sport. Take football for example. You cant just kick a ball into a goal all the time, it becomes pointless. Likewise for chess (ok not a physical sport) you have to play against someone or something.
Archery you can just stand and shoot for your own enjoyment. But then if you do will you end up competing. And is that just what you end up doing in life? Boy theres a deep thought.
Well back to the plot as they say.
As you may or may not have noticed I won my first medal. And I mean won. Along with Veronique from the archery club we won the Open Pairs competition at Warwick Archers. Now that for me was a real milestone. Also I was 4th in a Warwick round and 6th in a Portsmouth postal shoot.
The past few days I have made a few changes. One of the advantages of TVA club are the coaches. They do help when you ask. George has been helping me now move forward again. Over the past few days he has changed my stance, anchor position and helped with my new finger tab.
Results. Well you always go a step back before going two forward. I took part in the latest postal shoot and did not expect to be above 500 to be honest. Well I surprised myself. 518 out of 600. Now thats not bad for all the changes. So thanks to George I can settle into my 'new' style and see what happens.
What else has been going on.
A wonderful visit to Earle the restaurant and a good meal well recommended. Also we got a evening (Sunday that was) at a Hilton hotel in Chester. A suite no less, including a revolving television. A very relaxing weekend.
So what next for my Doctor Who story. Well part 5 is due out very soon (editor take note). And then I will have to work out parts 6 and 7. (Editor beware).
Ok so is this enough of an update. Well I hope so dear reader. Too much and I may overwhelm you. Too little and its like eating a slice of cheesecake on a diet. You just want more.
So this cheesecake slice is done.

The iPad
A Review without touching
Introduced Wednesday 27th January 2010 the product all have been waiting to see. Its name iPad.
Why? Because the iPad is basically a pad. An electronic pad. It is based on Apple's tried and trusted technology that made the iMac, iPod, iTouch and iPhone world famous. Now that same style and fashion has become the next 'iWant'.
From it's launch, Steve Jobs showed just how simple and clean, a new Apple product really could journey from dream to reality. It is not just the hardware that Apple design, they create a new culture. The iPad will become as familiar to all as the iPhone changed the way people saw the computer in the palm of their hand.
Newspapers, documents, stories, books, music, games all can and will be there for the reader. There will be those who say 'Its a pad from Star Trek' or 'Was that not in whatever the film was'.
Well maybe so, but this is real. Just think of the paper it will save.
Whatever people think now it will be here in less than 60 days.
A review without touching it. Easy really. Just look at its style, it's Apple, it's cool, it's an icon.
