I just read an announcement about the Wii that made me think. I do a lot of thinking.
The Wii’s storage worked in an annoying way – not a lot of onboard space for downloaded games, applications and extra game content, but the ability to store things on an SD card. However – no ability to [...]

I am injured. This will not be an incredibly surprising to many people, as my ability to snap the extremities of my body, or at least bang them about in ways that causes injuries with latin names, is well known. However, this time I have added to my normal clumsiness and illness finding talents a [...]

After last week’s jelly experimentation I decided that Sunday afternoon cooking SCIENCE! is something that I should repeat – hence this week’s activities:
Deep fried blackcurrant battered sausage, with blackcurrant jam and vegetable crisps.
At the end of last week, shortly after chomping my way through a small bag of hot cross buns filled with cheese, I [...]

Last night I became an internet radio star. Well, I helped record a podcast to replace my mate Michael due to his inconsiderateness in going to play in Valencia and watch things get set fire to and explode. Boom. Anyways, I mosied over to Thom’s podcast studio of incredibleness (aka his flat) talked rubbish, ate [...]

I have been recently inspired to cook things again and St Heston’s current series is making me think of silly things. So, this weekend’s experiment was to make some jelly.
I don’t get on with gelatine. I’ve now tried three or four times to get ground up beefy bits make liquidy things go solid and every [...]

Over the last few weeks my inner public transport geek has been fed some tasty, but metaphorical, biscuits by the London Transport Museum, as I’ve been helping them organise a photo scavenger hunt around their Acton Town Depot, giving me, Paul and Anna the chance to run around it when it was empty to do [...]

Along with 90% of the inquiring comic fanboy market I went to see Watchmen on Friday. Knowing what Zack Snyder is like, with the love of shiny visuals and digital post processing, I decided that the IMAX was the place to be and met up with fellow fanboys Thom and Myk, as well as their [...]

So, after I bigged it up a bit last time, Ben Kweller is coming to play in London again – May 15th at Koko. I think it’ll be an electric gig, unlike the one at The Union Chapel I saw last year, but I suspect it will be rather good.

His new album may be a [...]

When it comes to film, this weekend’s viewing has been a total write off. Not only were they bad films, but they have shaken my faith that even the worst movies can have a factor of amusement and that the glorification of mediocrity can in itself be fun. No, these films were bad enough to [...]

Again, I seem to be organising things. I don’t mean to, it sort of happens.
Anyways, there’s a flickr meetup coming up – we’re going to play at Bletchley Park and the National Museum of Computing on Saturday March 21st. I’ve been chatting to the faceless avatar of Bletchley on Twitter and one Saturday morning decided [...]
