Anker 7-Port USB 3.0 Data & Charging Hub

Recently I having been trying to re-organise my desk space and update things. My old keyboard had given up after a mere ten years or so of service and my mouse was getting on a bit too. When your N key stops working reliably it does make it somewhat tricky to play games or write without constantly having to correct yourself. I’m a big fan of wireless technology so I’ve upgraded to a Logitech K520 Keyboard and M310 mouse which came as a set. I’ll review those separately.

The Accountant Film Review

Deadpool Blu-Ray Review

It’s quite likely that you saw Deadpool at the cinema, given its status as a surprise box office hit. As of writing the box office for the film is pegged at $760 million USD. This for a film that is about a character that really very few non-fans had heard of until Ryan Reynolds got into his full marketing swing. Many have erroneously suggested that it was the first R-rated (in the US system) comic book film. Actually there’s plenty of others Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Punisher, Kick-Ass, 30 Days of Night, Blade, Watchmen, 300, Dredd and Sin...
