My blog and occasional comment on current affairs.
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 gloat but just explain why blog entries maybe be a bit more haphazard over the next couple of weeks. And also to gloat. I plan…
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 be a hell of a lot. I suspect his passing will revive a lot of fond memories in those of a slightly older generation. We…
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 reason is that I have been busy at work and then busy holidaying. I’m not sure that is a good reason but that is the…
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 was back in the simpler days of 2012. It was a pretty epic fall and he was wearing several hi-def cameras that must have taken…
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.
Arthur C. Clarke predicted a ton of stuff like satellites, fully immersive VR games, sexily voiced computers and space elevators and and so on.
Happy Christmas from the Word of Ward! And from Mrs Word of Ward! If you don’t celebrate Christmas but have a festival – then Happy Festival! If you don’t have any festival or holiday or anything then… um… happy 4th day post equinox. I assume you are at work. Whatever the deal – enjoy!
Jason Ward tells three true stories of fairly perilous travel.
If you like science and space exploration, you will probably have already seen the original footage of astronauts driving a buggy on the moon. If you haven’t then shame on you, but not to worry – here is the same footage but stabilised.
