This is one of the better review sites out there.
Not just a review of a single item – they pick a category and then select items in that category and then narrow down until they find a winner. They explain the process and their finding along the way.
It is a US based site so all of the links tend to go to Amazon.com but there have only been a couple of times I have not found what I have been looking for on the amazon.co.uk site.
Some examples of categories would be:
An amazing infographic – really highlights how busy the airport is – and how fragile it is.
I’ve watched through some pretty awful programming tutorials. As a developer someday we may inevitably strive to create one of our own. To make it easy I’ve amassed 10 tips to create the best worst programming tutorials.

I would have done something like this but …..
For the last month or so I have allocated a “category” to each day and done my best to schedule in advance a post in that category.
I thought that I was getting more “Victor Meldrew” in my old age and getting annoyed by trivial daily occurrences. When it came to actually documenting them – I’m coming up dry. I’m obviously much more placid than I thought I was.
So – you may know me better than I know myself – what topic of posts would you like to see from me on a Friday going forwards?

I just recently discovered this photographer via a forum at work. He has some stunning nature photos and my personal favourite – black and white urban landscapes.
Not strictly a site this week but more accurately a podcast.
This weekly podcast is hosted by the researchers behind the TV show QI where they discuss (in a hilarious manner) the latest facts that they have unearthed.
This is my favourite podcast and always jumps to the top of the queue as soon as it’s released.
They are also doing a series of live shows, I saw them last time in the Oran Mor, next year it’s the Citizens theatre in Glasgow.
I have previously tried wearing a pocket square but, being a bit of a perfectionist, I was never happy that it would sit “just right” all day long – especially when I take my jacket on and off throughout the day.
Then I stumbled upon this pocket square holder on Amazon. It works a treat, you fold your square to the pattern you want, put it in the holder then put the holder in your pocket. The clasp is a bit tight, this may loosen off over time but better to be too tight than too loose.
