As some people may have noticed, I myself am starting (only now, not for years, oh no) to show the signs of male pattern baldness. As such it’s quite prevalent in my mind, especially as we approach another winter (not that I’ve been balding during other winters, oh no).
Baldness strikes me as strange. I’ve heard [...]

One of the bonuses of helping out the Sci-Fi London crew is that I get given piles of goodies on occasion. The haul is often varied, with my current “to do stuff with” pile including a book on the science of the Hitchhikers Guide, a badge from the zombie film “Colin”, DVDs of the TV [...]

My erstwhile local colleague (now remote due to an unfortunate decision to return to the US due to the easier obtaining of cable TV showing “proper” football) Todd and I both have a love of great movies. However we differ in our opinions on one very specific actor – the kung fu powerhouse that is [...]

Despite my recent attempt to reduce the number of papery books I purchase, I suspect I may be forced to pick up a copy of this book if Gosh have any left tomorrow evening:

I can’t be the only one to think that is carved from purest awesome, cut from the slopes of mount awesome by [...]

So, with the talk of shiny new MacBooks appearing today, I have been thinking a lot about shiny techy things of late. With the destruction of my little old MacBook via the medium of a glass of red wine I have been considering getting one of those new ones, especially when I heard the rumour [...]

As I mentioned the other day, I did another scavenger hunt with the London Transport museum. As I also mentioned, I think this will be my last one as I won again…

I want my own plasma globe.
I am in Edinburgh doing touristy things. Which is scary as I don’t normally like being a tourist. I have drunk interesting things, eaten tasty things and, as ever, taken some photos. Today – Leith. Tomorrow – Holyrood and home.

It is only an edit of the complete headline but still, it’s nice to see the BBC being reasonable and sensible about all this.
I hear we’re suing Iceland now. As a subsidiary of Russia PLC does that mean that CEO Putin (he’s not the president) will be cutting them loose or creating an interesting countersuit [...]

After many years of scorning Apple, from products to the religious devotion of the fanboys, I finally last year gave in to the white plastic tide and signed my soul over to Steve Jobs. It was very much a moral death by pin prick, with a slow erosion of my core values (Apple sucks) leading [...]

A while back I wrote a bit about how annoyed Call of Duty 3 made me and how it epitomised pretty much everything I dislike in a lot of modern games. Well, finally tonight I played through to the end and finished it.
Now, I don’t finish all that many games, being crap as I am [...]
