Check the mirror.
Or is it a mirror? It appears to be a hole through to an identical cabin (which, thankfully, has their hole filled in) – no wonder they can’t sell them.
But, let’s be honest, it’s supposed to be a mirror. It’s just that whoever photoshopped this doesn’t have particularly good skills.
Just weeks after returning from the company GM in Canada, I’m off again. This time I’m attending a conference in Washington DC -my first visit to the US! The conference in question is ONA17, which is for journalists.

If you’d asked me a couple of years ago what goals I’d like to achieve in the near future I would have told you 2 things…
I achieved the first earlier this year and, a couple of weeks ago, I had my first technology article published as well. In fact, I’ve since published a second and a third is imminent.
The Big Tech Question is a new technology site, the brains behind it being both a past and the current editor of PC Pro magazine, the UK’s biggest selling monthly computing magazine. I hope to publish many more articles in time too.
