So, this show is now several episodes in and so far, despite my initial fears it would be some sort of tween-style show with a sci-fi dressing, it has proven its worth. It asks some interesting questions of what it means to be human, and how far people will go to both survive, and protect […]
First of all, I would like to raise awareness for this brave little girl, and if you are in a position to help her, please please please do so. Secondly, I would like to nominate myself for the Ice Bucket Challenge – so watch this space for the video!
So, my site has been up and running for a couple of weeks now, and so it’s time to look at the breakdown. As of the time of this post, Stardestroyer.net has contributed the greatest number of views to my site (with 13), Big Footy is close behind with 11 referrals, Starfleet Jedi is in […]
I recently advertised (for lack of a better word) my site on the forums at StarfleetJedi, and I would like to thank Mike DiCenso for his feedback thus far on my ‘versus’ pages. I hope to address his feedback at some stage in the not-so-distant future. It’s always nice to hear from people about how […]
So there I am, thinking to myself as the working day slowly draws to a close, that the day has gone well, that the store will be tidy and that everything is upstraight. I could not have been more wrong. Having been rocked by the news that a thoroughly nice man I knew had died, […]
This morning I received a tearful phone call from the wife of a man I knew, via work, for the past five years, informing me that this gentleman had passed away. I was stunned, and saddened, to learn of his passing. I can’t claim to have known him thoroughly, as I knew him mostly via […]
It seems that customers are under the mistaken impression that I can alter the system – including the company website – if they complain about it long enough. They are also under the misguided belief that showing up to collect a reserve-and-collect order before they’ve had confirmation it’s arrived is going to mean the order […]
After struggling to drop off to sleep (a problem of mine lately), I finally do so, only to end up dreaming about getting a new tattoo (the Rebel symbol from Star Wars), only for the tattooist to cock it up. All of a sudden the scene shifts and I’m Nigel Mansell, on the phone to Ron […]
I don’t usually go too nuts about upcoming films. Yeah, there are a few I’ve been excited by (Star Trek 09, Star Trek into Darkness, Revenge of the Sith, The Avengers), but as a golden rule I don’t go nuts for films. That said, there is one film I am very keen to see next […]
Goodbye Robin Williams I awoke this morning to the shocking and sad news that comedic genius and all-round great actor Robin Williams had passed away. News outlets are reporting that he took his own life after a long battle with depression. It’s such a shame. Williams was a naturally funny man who gave us […]
I keep finding myself utterly unable to write, like I want to, I am trying to find blog post inspiration, but I just can't.
Star Trek: First Contact.
Hey @X, can you tell me why my Twitter feed keeps defaulting to a hard-to-read appearance, despite my logged site preferences?
When do you feel most productive? As a general rule, I think I’m at my most productive in the mornings. After the first coffee of the day, and a bit of breakfast, I tend to find myself feeling… well, not exactly bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I’m too much of a grey-muzzle for that, but certainly more […]
