1. Before Christmas my wife won a years supply of Millies cookies. It turns out a years supply equates to a box of 12 per month, and today we collected our first box

2. One of my wife's relatives had a reasonably sized role in the recent post-copyright-b-movie-horror film Bambi The Reckoning. Dont get me wrong, its bad, but since watching it I've found myself working through other similar films in the genre. Having endured Popeye the Slayer Man, Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey, Piglet, and the bizarre Ebeneezer Scrooge's Naughty List, I watched Mouseboat Massacre which was arguably the worst thing I've ever seen. Part Steamboat Willie, part The Ring and part GCSE drama project, I have literally nothing good to say about it

3. One of my favourite conferences to follow is just around the corner, with CES due to kick off next week. Ahead of time, this very cool and outrageously overpriced gadget has been added to my 'when I am rich I will buy this' list
