iPhone – 10 Years Old

You have probably heard that its the ten anniversary of the iPhone.

It now hard to now to remember what a revolutionary product it was.  I bought the first iPhone and was very pleased with it.  While it lacked many features of my previous Windows Phone, the ease of user and the ‘internet in you pocket’ was the killer feature.

Its also worth while remembering that in these ten years we still have not had a significant malware attack on iOS.

While people critic the locked down nature of the phones and the restrictions of the app store process it has succeeded to keep us safer.

I currently have the iPhone 6 which I am very happy with but might upgrade this year if the ten anniversary edition is something special.

Wimbledon 2017

When it comes to sport I don’t watch a lot.

American Football, Wimbledon for Tennis and MotoGP are my main real loves, and I do not mind rugby and Formula E and F1 and cycling.

This week sees the start of Wimbledon so i’ll be monopolising the TV.

Lincoln Knights

A couple of years ago Lincoln had the idea of ‘The Barron’s trail’.  An exploration for tourists around Lincoln to find the painted Barrons.

This year we are having the Knights trail, where you can wonder around Lincoln finding the painted themed Knights.  Linked to this, this weekend is the celebration of the Battle of Lincoln.  A key date in British history.
