If you live on a lake and happen to be an impatient nutcase on a motorbike, then this will be of massive interest to you. For everyone else, it is … Read More
Peter Serafinowicz is an English actor and voice over guy. I knew him originally from Spaced but he has since been in a ton of cool things from Alan Partridge to Guardians of the Galaxy. One thing he does, just for a laugh, is to dub over Trump’s voice with a variety of his own.
I saw this trilogy meter and thought it was fun for about a minute.

Who would have thought after the first couple of Mission Impossible movies that they would keep going and even get better?
Journey’s End was originally a play by RC Sherriff. I studied it as part of my English literature A-level and I still vividly remember the characters and events decades later. … Read More
Humans Need Not Apply basically states and explains that most jobs will be replaced by technology. It is pretty much inevitable and there is nothing us meat-sack humans can do about it.
I write for a living, occasionally draw and design book covers, and the rest of the time I read (a lot) and watch stuff on Netflix and Youtube. Portability, battery life and weight were main factors. Being able to play Civilization 6 and Cuphead where just added bonuses. I looked at a lot of hybrids and 2-in-1 options and I kept coming back to the Microsoft Surface Pro 2017. It also has a pen.
Happy Christmas! Go be merry!
Replying to scammers is obviously time-consuming and tedious, so the good news is that there is now an AI chatbox thing that will do that for you.
I got Until Dawn on some sale or other and had been meaning to play it for ages. Then Skyrim VR came out and I thought I had better clear … Read More
If you don’t know who Bob Ross is, then you clearly didn’t stay up late getting stoned while watching terrestrial ‘scheduled’ TV. (I er, saw him on youtube…) Watching Bob … Read More
I have noticed a couple of themes that appear in every writing tips article and they are definitely true. If you are attempting Nanowrimo or want to try out writing a book, this might help a little.
I saw list below on Pinterest and thought it was pretty damned fascinating and handy. I went through it and realised by the time I had hit the end that I could remember the Morse code for the first five letters of the alphabet.
