It's been a big year with a few big changes, and 2014 looks to be another big one. Arsenal are top of the league at New Year's so I guess I can be really happy at that. π
Here's the highlights of this year's blog posts:
January
- New Year, New USB Drive: First new tech of the year, and a good history of USB drives that I have owned.
- Why Football Will Never (properly) Take Off in Australia: First rant of the year, on the state of football in Australia. Since then, it has been good to see SBS showing a live A-League game on Friday nights.
February
- Office 2013 & The Last Day of My 20s: Pining over the last few days of my 20s, and a neat review on the look of Office 2013.
March
- Display and Graphics Updates: New graphics cards are always a highlight. π
- The End of My Affinity for Google: Reader to be Shut Down: A pivotal event in how I think of Google, and Feedly has been more than a worthy replacement.
