I think about time travel a lot. Mostly about what I’d do if I found myself in another time and what I’d do, knowing what I know, to get filthy rich. It would be easy to know what the next big thing was going to be if you knew what it was. And I’m not [...]
What weekend?
I’m working on a really big project right now. It’s a bastard. Lots of text, lots of pages, lots of people who need to be sure that a lot of the text on a lot of the pages says what they want it to say. I’m in the middle, trying to make sure it says [...]
I think that sometimes you just have to resign yourself to the fact that you’ll never understand some people, and that that’s OK. I was walking through the city today and saw a person with long hair, wearing a dress and makeup, who clearly was a male. Usually you can tell by the jawline or [...]
I know the guy died, so I don’t want to sound nasty or cold or whatever, but I just can’t get my mind to bridge that gap between the government spending billions of dollars trying to persuade us not to speed, the money spent promoting a “sporting” event where people hop into supercharged cars with [...]

There was a letter in the paper the other day; something along the lines of “Oh, they didn’t move xmas to coincide with the pagan winter festival, they moved it to coincide [...]
Firstly, I’ve lifted the title for this post from a post on The Bleat. Just wanted to get that out there. It’s one of those examples where someone else has already summed up how you feel about something and no matter how hard you try you just couldn’t really improve on it. The reason for [...]
I was watching House last night and there was this storyline about a woman who had synaesthesia. Synaesthesia is a completely cool disorder some people have where stimulation of one sense can trigger perception in others.
