Reviews, Blog, and the occasional Rant
My blog and occasional comment on current affairs.
Having a normal day? Everything a bit sameish? Got a couple of minutes to be weirded out? Good. Then watch this clip called “malfunction” by someone odd on the internet called Cyriak. I found it strangely uplifting. Enjoy.
The idea the plane boffins have had is to get rid of all the windows and turn the walls into massive screens. This has the benefit of reducing weight (apparently) and making the whole fuselage more structurally sound. Another big benefit is that it looks fucking awesome. Essentially, cameras will film the outside and then project the images on the inside.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been described as ‘Seinfeld on crack’ which I guess is kind of fair given the shallow cynicism of the protagonists and the ludicrous situations that evolve but they are from a very different social spectrum.
It is with sadness that I leave but also some excitement. Working in TV with a bit of freelance writing on the side was great and it paid for a degree and a shiny new pair of lasered eyes.
Well, it’s all happening here at the Word of Ward. In 10 days from now, on the 18th, I am undergoing a continent/country/career/lifestyle change. I am mentioning this not to … Read More
If you have ever played Assassin’s Creed for hours then left the house, you sometimes find yourself looking at real life buildings to assess easy access to rooftops or cool things to run over. If you like Assassin’s Creed or Parkour then you should enjoy this 3 minute clip set in Paris.
For just a minute, tilt your head to the left, watch this clip, marvel at the strange little face that appears on Joaquin Phoenix’s forehead and forget about things briefly.
Sorry I haven’t written in ages but I was moving house and then had a delightful couple of weeks in the south of France.
I just wanted to say a quick goodbye to Rik Mayall. I would find it hard to add the hours I have spent watching him on TV but it would … Read More
I want to vote, I really do. Unfortunately, like a lot of the apathetic bloody populace these days, I don’t.
Little did I know that I, as a North Londoner, have been living with the threat of DEADLY KILLER probably EVIL, RABID snakes for years.
I think they could go a lot further and have zombies, Triffids, psychopathic clowns, Daleks, Stormtroopers, Cthulu, Godzilla, the Borg, giant mechanoids, the Blob… well, I could actually go on all day.
Scifiward.com has a shiny new look!
This isn’t really a hotel review as such – it’s more of an excuse as to why I have been a bit negligent toward the poor old www.thewordofward.co.uk website. The … Read More
There are also lots of youtube clips that teach you things. You can get totally educated and shit watching exciting animated clips and documentaries. I am currently watching a lot of astronomy related videos on youtube.
In case you are bored at work which, let’s face it, is likely given that you have read this far, I give you (drumroll…) – a desktop Theremin!
If you like castles or spectacular decaying edifices, I highly recommend Conwy castle. It was actually pretty fun to go on a bleak mid-week afternoon in January as well, as we pretty much had the place to ourselves.
I know the world moves at a quick pace these days, but do you remember that Felix Baumgartner guy who jumped from space to prove that science was cool? It … Read More
The Word of Ward has been getting a lot of attention recently (not sure why but the figures keep doubling), so to the 1000s of new unique daily visitors who missed it – I am also on twitter: @thewordofward.
This was what Fuertza Bruta was all about – spectacle, sensation, and an incredibly fun interactive experience.
