How often should you blog?
One thing that most bloggers do seem to agree on is that inconsistency is bad.

My blog and occasional comment on current affairs.
Going On Holiday
I love Germany and am massively looking forward to schnitzels, sausages, sauerkraut, litres of beer, and a transport system that actually works. Ignoring a couple of unpleasant World Wars, the Brits get on pretty well with the Germans.
Kids toys are crazy
I have been working a lot recently, which is a shame as work is officially bad for you (probably). It’s certainly detrimental to your brain when you work in the TV industry and have to work on kids’ TV channels for twelve hours in a row. This mental stress is increased still further when you get to the adverts and see what kind of bat-shit craziness passes for toys these days.
The Sound of Space – Voyager has left the system.
Voyager 1 was launched in September 1977, 36 years ago. I was 5 years old and it has remained an awe inspiring achievement throughout my life.
Intermittent Fasting. The 5:2 Diet.
I heard about the intermittent fasting diet and have decided to leap on the bandwagon.

Here on the Word of Ward there’s an interactive galaxy!
Australia, Morocco, and Thailand. Three True Travel Stories
Jason Ward tells three true stories of fairly perilous travel.
Cosmos
When I was a kid, one of my favourite shows was ‘Cosmos’ by the legendary Carl Sagan. It was astronomy with huge inspiring dollops of philosophy.
The Uneven Passage of Time

50 Misconceptions about Science
I’m a massive fan of the scientific method, which I’ll be the first to admit is a strange and vague thing to say. Scientists propose theories, conduct tests and then … Read More
Coding with Code Academy
To begin with, I have been using something called Code Academy. It is pretty cool so far and you will soon be seeing some astounding changes thanks to what I have learned.
Building Empire State – the other photo
You know that famous old black and white photo of the workmen having lunch on a girder high above Mahattan?
The Starving Writer
I’ve done it! Five bastard years of broadening my already swollen noggin. A couple of weeks ago I sent off my final essay for my Open University degree in English … Read More
London in the 20s. Colour video!
It’s pretty amazing to see colour video from the 20s and this is even more amazing if you happen to be a Londoner.
Real Astronaut sings Bowie
Astronaut Chris Hadfield sings Bowie in actual space.
The World’s End Trailer
The World’s End is the third film from the guys who brought you (and me), Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Oculus Rift – Virtual Reality is finally here.
Oculus Rift was invented by some ‘soon to be a billionaire’ gaming brainy-pants in his garage. It has since been crowd funded. The cool thing is that it doesn’t cost a 100,000quid, it will actually be affordable. Plus, advances in screens and motion sensors have allowed it to be incredible.
Vadering
I bloody love a good internet meme and this one is a good’un.
Railay Beach, Thailand
As I have mentioned frequently over the last few weeks, I am currently on holiday in Thailand. For some reason this caused a lot of envy-laden comments amongst my Facebook … Read More
Live London Tube Map
Ok this isn’t Thailand OR beach related. Happy? If you are a trainspotter or a Londoner, you will probably find this pretty cool. It shows the position of every tube … Read More
