Not a “Good Game, Good Game”
I would have thought that most households that play computer games would also be “connected” households. Most games will also have demos or videos of the game that can be downloaded. A computer game is not something you need to go and touch, smell or try on before deciding if you want to buy it.…

Birder or Photographer?
Yesterday I tweeted about wanting to get in the garden and close to the dozens of birds that were in the bushes and on the bird feeders, but that is not what birders do. Birders watch from a suitable distance without disturbing the birds. Wanting to get out in the garden and close to the…
