Summer Project 2015: Ross & Cromarty CAB

 Steven Kellow    Personal, Technology

Summer to some means sitting outside in the sun and going off on holidays, but for me – at least over the last few years – it’s meant the chance to work on some interesting projects and earn some money for the year of uni ahead.  It might not quite sound as fun, and my tan definitely doesn’t benefit much from it, but it’s always great spending the summer building something that will leave a legacy. This summer I was working for the Ross & — Read more →

Why I’m Voting SNP

 Steven Kellow    Personal, Politics  

I remember writing a piece last year on here about the European elections and explaining why I’d vote SNP then but wouldn’t call myself an SNP supporter.  I couldn’t see myself tying down to their political vision at the time, even though I was becoming more and more enamoured with the idea of independence.

My Top 10 Films of 2014

 Steven Kellow    Personal, TV & Film

Although perhaps not quite as strong as 2013, there’s been a wide range of great films this year. I’ve tried to see as many as possible as a good way of spending a Wednesday night, and although there was a sort of polarisation in that the best films came out either at the start or the end of the year – I think on the whole I’ve been able to see some really enjoyable and memorable movies at the cinema. There are a few that — Read more →
