Walking from coast to coast is something that I have been looking forward to for some time now. For years me and my friends have sat down the pub, slightly drunk, with the promises of “Yeah, yeah, definitely next year”. Next year comes and goes and the same promise is made again in the hopes that […]
A step too far
(I apologise for the lack of pictures in this post. I’ll try and crowbar some in from Google later) In a few weeks time I’m going to be going to Cumbria with my friend Jonny to attempt, and hopefully complete, the coast-to-coast walk as the guide book written by Alfred Wainwright set out. Anyone who […]
Reading 2012 and what the world makes of it
This isn’t a rant to say how dare someone not agree with me because I like the Reading line up and they don’t. Of course you have the right to not like the Cure (god only knows why though because they ROCK!) and you can say that there is nothing else you want to go […]
What I got for Christmas…
This is my first ever post from my new favourite toy, my new phone. Anyone who knows me at all will know that I really like my gadgets and6 “boys toys”, they’ll also probably note that I’m a tight git who saves his money for the important things, like beer and cider. So it was […]
It’s been a while
It has been a long time since I last made a post. Since I last wrote about my ineptitude in the world of flash games and general lack of touch with the Zeitgeist in the world of computing and web design, I have become more and more involved with work, and not the job I first hoped […]
Am I behind the times?
I was just having a quick stumble through the internet today when I came across an entire genre of flash games which I have never heard of before. I am talking about the amazing genre of web-cam flash games. All of the games require the user to enable their web-cam to do different things, turning […]
My ponderings about CDs
Are CDs on their way out completely now? I wonder about this more and more now, the questions of; will I be able to continue to buy an album from a new artist any more? and if I do will they release a deluxe version of the album in six moths time which repeats the first album […]
Some things in this world strike me as… odd
I was just sitting here, on my laptop, stumbling away a Sunday afternoon in November, when all of a sudden I heard coming through the crack in my window the jingly tones of an ice-cream truck. Surely at this time of year even the children of this fine town would shy away from the frozen […]
BSc (Hons.)
Today was (apparently) one of the biggest days of my life, the day in which al of my hard work and effort over the past 16 years of education come to a pinnacle and the establishment recognise my achievements by bestowing upon me the title of Bachelor of Science. Now as a graduate I can go into […]
Two suns of Tatooine
Have you ever heard of Jeremy Messersmith? Neither had I ’til today. One of my golden nugget finds on SU was this little gem from Jeremy, its a song which has a tenuous connection to Star Wars in the lyrics, and has an amazing video depicting the first trilogy of films made entirely out of […]
