Your eyes slowly open. Vague outlines of your darkened room surround you. You look at your clock, see it’s 4am, wonder why you are awake and then feel the pressure in your bladder. Ah. Wee waits for no man.
Deciding you can’t hold it, you stumble to the bathroom, reach for the light switch and […]

After watching ‘This Film is Not Yet Rated’, and waiting for The Office US s3e14 to download, I’ve decided to have a rant and a vaguely serious one for once. It’s not about the fact that Ironman is the only superhero with an alcoholic alter-ego but on the non-functional US film rating system all the […]

Quick TechniCian entry as have had a pile emails about the iPhone. I bet there will be about 500,000 posts exactly the same as this and I hate being topical/geek but it’s a one-off.

What’s innovative:
Multi-press touchscreen
OSesque + widgets
Anti face-smear sensor

A new section for my site which I’ve spent the last 2 weeks building in earnest for launch.
TechniCian (feel the pun) will be covering technology related news and reviews of unnecessary consumer electronics I have bought recently; on a whim, with a grin or in the bin.

Check out […]

That is not a sentence. I know a Detective man said that he stabbed someone down the lane (a licky boom boom down) but I’m not sure what this crucial scene setting statement means at all.

Nevermind, anyway I’m making this 1980’s white rap reference for two reasons. Firstly I have had my first and probably […]

“Weird Al”, your punny parodies of pop videos has kept me entertained over the last 15 years since ‘Smells like Nirvana’ got extended airplay back in the halycon days of MTV. And you had a track on the soundtrack for ‘Transformers The Movie’ so you are a veritable hero of mine. With the new Michael […]

Annotation.
It is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. Wait - that’s mutation and what gave the playtpus it’s ‘no incidents in the bedroom’ one-hole and the fantastic bearded lady her fantastic beard.
I just finished a book called Mutants […]

Meme. C’est que c’est? Webster’s dictionary defines it as
(1) strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties (2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers.
