The World’s Greatest Blog

A company called MDI (Moteur Development International) has developed a car which runs purely on compressed air - they call it the MiniCat (Compressed Air Technology = CAT!).

After fourteen years of research and development, Guy Negre has developed an engine that could become one of the biggest [...]

Life has been pretty busy over the past couple of weeks, as we’ve moved into yet another house, got some low-key work, and been involved with a few more web projects. Here is a brief run-down of the latter:
The Museum of Goalkeeping

Which can be found at www.goalkeeping-museum.com, is a website I have designed and set [...]
