If there’s one thing humans love, it’s cars. I knew that even before I started taking these classes, but I certainly didn’t know how to talk to them about it. Mostly I just hung around the office, smiling at times when I thought they said something positive, and then stopping because I’m convinced that one …
What are your top three essential ingredients for a great workspace? I realise that ‘great workspace’ has a pretty buzzword-y feel to it, and you’d be forgiven if you were sitting there silently mocking me right now. I hope you’re not, though, because I am genuinely seeking help in this arena. I’m putting together a …
Ever since I broke my toe paddle-boarding last summer, I’ve been waiting for my foot to go back to normal. It’s not a massive issue – just enough of a niggling pain to keep me on my toes about it (or off them, as it were). Anyway, I finally went and saw a physio about …
The new guy wasn’t at the meeting tonight, which was a relief. He always tries to derail the conversation into his strange and manipulative pyramid schemes, so much so that it’s a surprise that he hasn’t been asked to leave as of yet. Hopefully…soon. As it was, we were able to have a rousing discussion …
I’ve had a great time these last few nights reading book under the covers, much later than I usually would. There’s a bit of an art to making sure that all my brothers are asleep before I bust out the torch and start reading, but I think I’ve gotten it down. Ma noticed that I …
My dad just told me that he thinks his work friend might have OCD. My first reaction was one of exasperation, as in, “Dad, stop using that term to refer to Jimbo’s keen interest in fishing rod holsters.” But the more dad explained the situation, the more I started to wonder if he might be …
You know, in SOME cultures, walking through a door is considered a great honour. Well, some doors anyway. There’s a certain ceremony in ancient Egypt where a young boy walks through a beautiful timber door, signifying that he is a man, and that he is blessed by the gods, and that the harvest will be …
Did you know there was an entire channel devoted to architecture? I hate architecture, but if you’re into it, well, good for you. You’ve got yourself a channel! I pretty much figured there was an entire channel that was nothing but UFC and pro-wrestling, but come on. Obviously that was going to be a thing, …
Apparently this TV Thing Has Been Around for Ages Read More »
My sister, Francine, has recently gotten into fishing. She moved out near the coast about a year back, and since then she’s steadily developed something of a passion for local seafood. Seemingly, one thing has led to another and now she’s literally knee-deep in catching her own fish. She told me yesterday over beers that …
It’s pretty unusual for a Japanime company to make a show based on an older game, one that people have forgotten a little bit. I guess Dinky Dai-Animation isn’t your average company as I feel they have proved many times over. The old Felix Knight games still maintain their popularity in modern-day internet meme culture, …
