The Dark Knight Trailer
or, thank heavens for camera phones and foresight.
Normally, I don’t go in for the whole watching trailers before they arrive properly. I’m a bit of a quality snob, and I have to see it in good quality. However with Batman the Dark Knight, I just couldn’t wait. Now, I could have waited until Sunday, […]
Review: Mighty Avengers #12
or, oh thank the green fields, they FINALLY brought back Nick!

Is Math Discovered or Invented
There isn’t anything quite like a philosophical debate involving scientists. It’s like asking a high school jock to participate in… well, anything academic! They are so far out of their depth, but still carrying all that good old fashioned tons of knowledge and arrogance that come with being a scientist.
Want an example of what I’m […]
The Big Bang in Seconds
Whether you believe in a Creator-God or not, the Big Bang is oftentimes the explanation for how our universe began. Why? Because that’s what science has pointed too, and science is smarter than you!
Science has analyzed the motion of galaxies around us, and found that they were expanding, as a result of reactions set off […]
Diary of a Writer - 006 - Jack Thompson is a douche!
This week, I randomly jump from Jack Thompson to comic reviews to Final Crisis to Countdown to my monitors and… well, why should I spoil it for you, when you can download the file and enjoy it yourself!
Also, today I follow in Tom Merritt’s steps and start hosting my podcast on Archive.org. He uses […]
Jack Thompson = Monumental Douchebag
There are many things in my life that I dislike and hate. I am not the most peaceable of fellows around, and I do not care in the slightest. However, close to the top of my list – and thus, of a hatred and dislike that surmounts the everyday dislikes such as peas, hot weather […]

This report […]

I’ve finally managed to get a pair of LCD monitors… it is a beautiful site, the pair of monitors, and it is entirely justifiable… I actually need these for my work, so that I can have research on one side and my word doc on the other side… w00t - no more alt-tabbing!

Review: Countdown #1
or, OH thank HEAVENS it is finally over!
With a sigh of relief I opened the pages of the last issue of Countdown, and with a similar sigh I closed them a few minutes later. They had not finished badly, as previous issued had suggested they might. Though they finished leaving me baffled, it was not […]
