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 […]
Digg: Home of the rightwing nutjobs!
As a fully fledged nerd and one who spends much time on the internet (for work, I promise you) I have developed a deep affinity for the social news aggregator Digg. It was the darling child of Web 2.0, and it was great to see once-Tech TV-personality Kevin Rose hit the big time. It represented […]
internet crazies versus Comic Book Movie
Looks like the internet crazies are at it again, but this time they’re focusing their wrath on my beloved Comic Book Movie. Up front, yes, I write for CBM, and have been a long time follower of their website prior to my employment there. But seriously people…
For the long background, all you have to do […]
Steve Jobs versus the Book
Sometimes a story/article must be built upon very little. In church, it is often the case with a good pastor that you will get a whole sermon on one short sentence. Here is my chance to test my skills against the fanboy-god Steve Jobs, in much the same vain.
Macworld as a few weeks ago, and […]
Justice League Movie on Hold, Officially! Update!
Yesterday Cathie gave us the rundown on the Justice League movie finally being put on hold. Today, I’m going to take it a step further.
We knew it was coming, and it hasn’t come as a surprise, but many of us breathed a sigh of relief when the Justice League movie received its official “on hold” […]
Why we love and play World of Warcraft
Hi, my name is Josh Hill, and I play World of Warcraft.
*Hey Josh!*
These days, it is a bit of a problem to tell people that you play World of Warcraft. There is almost always mention of “those crazy Koreans” or just the natural implication that playing video games is childish.
Well, World of […]
A Journalistic Tough Skin = Necessary
You know, each day I realize just how glad I am to have my happy pills (ie, medication for depression and anxiety). As I continue to grow in my journalistic abilities and continue to be read by more and more people, I find that I’m getting more and more mail - and very little […]
Christian’s versus His Dark Materials… God help us!
One of those things in life that normally sends me right up the proverbial wall, are Christian’s using their “faith” as a weapon. I use the inverted commas on purpose, because I truly question their faith in the same God that I have faith in.
Phillip Pullman is coming under such attacks, due mainly to […]
Imperialistic Ramble
As I sit here listening to the inimitable Missy Higgins, I am loving these summer days. I honestly can’t say how much I’m enjoying having this heat suffuse the house: it’s awesome!
But once again I’m reminded of the fact that any day now we’re about to enter not only bushfire season, but also further drought […]
Red Bull and Alcohol a Deadly Mix?
In another of those studies that pinpoint the sheer lack of work available to research scientists, results have shown that combining Red Bull and Alcohol can help you get drunker.
What I have to say to them is simple: duh!
But let’s just say upfront, I’m not advocating drinking irresponsibly. But neither am I advocating researching irresponsibly, […]
Hollywood Dilemmas
Hands up who knows what the number one stress is at the moment inside of Hollywood?
For those of you who answered Tom and Katie’s relationship, you were close, but just a shy off the mark. The actual answer is the looking strike of the Screenwriters Guild.
What does that mean?

100 Blog Topics #1: How I Use Facebook
It’s ironic that I address the first topic from Chris Brogan’s top 100 list that I mentioned a day or so back with a topic that is actually somewhat relevant and at hand in my life. I won’t kid myself (yet) and believe that I have a whole host of international readers (yet), so […]
Literary Conceit
As a self-confessed book-worm, I manage to make it through many books a year. So far, at a rough estimate, I’m sitting at about 35 books read so far this year. I might be a few more, but I don’t actually count.
In addition to my love of books, is my passion for the fantasy […]
Lazy Sunday
Here I am, dressed up snug as the preverbal bug, reading all day! I watched Stargate Atlantis most of yesterday, and today I’m reading Obernewtyn, by Isobelle Carmody - Meagz gave it too me. It’s an oddly unique and compelling book, despite primarily (I think) being written for teenagers! Nevertheless, it is a good book, […]
