Capes, masks and laserbeam-projecting eyes. Super strength, shape-shifting and characters from throughout history and the future. All this and more exists within the Marvel Multiverse. Yes, you read correctly… multiverse. How could all of this fit into one small device? Believe it or not, the tech geniuses at Marvel Comics have managed to cram all […]

8th January, 2010 – 5:36 pm
Earlier this week, popular geo-social website, Foursquare, enabled their “Foursquare everywhere” feature. Since it’s inception, the company has offered their service (allowing users to “check in” at places and to discover new places in their area) in a select few cities.

The discovery of blogging
14th September, 2009 – 8:09 pm

In a world where simple, clean and compact are becoming more desirable, and we pride ourselves on having short and simple website addresses, how often do you type “www.”? To briefly explain “www.”, it is what is refered to as a subdomain on the domain you are visiting. It has become the accepted convention for “www.matty.co.za” and “matty.co.za” […]
