Crumpet finished editing her stop-motion project last night, so I’ve been spending some time today working on sound effects for it. It’s been kinda entertaining recording the sound of crumpling paper with a thousand-dollar tube microphone (thanks, Joel). I recycled one of my short music pieces for the intro… let’s see if Crumpet likes it [...]

What I want to know is, if these are banned, how are kids ever going to learn?? In less sexy news, I picked up a TomTom GPS device today. I figure better to spend the money on a GPS rather than the insurance cost of running up somebody’s backside when trying to work out which [...]

As a child of the 80′s, watching this political advertisement brought a small tear to my eye. Goddamn, nothing saddens me more than terminal disease. My aunt is suffering from motor neurone disease, and it’s heartbreaking to watch her decline.
I just ordered myself one of these. Tax-deductible, I’m hoping. Having a trip computer in the 6MPS was a real eye-opener – you never realise just how much fuel you’re using when you put your foot down, and hopefully having a constant readout will temper my excesses somewhat…

This room is sweltering, noisy (thanks Intel for your hellspawn Pentium 4 design), and frankly not a huge [...]

Quite a while ago Crumpet pointed out that Amazon were offering pre-orders of Neil Gaiman’s The Absolute Sandman, Vol 1 for only $14.99 (retail is $99). Naturally I jumped right on it, but later in the week Amazon posted a corrected price of around $65. I assumed my order would be cancelled, but lo and [...]

I met this little fella (and by little I mean about an inch long) tonight in the bathroom. Well, actually I first noticed it when it was under a foot away from my face! Yep, it’s a white-tail. As is typical for the nasty bitey spiders, I took it far away outside and released it, [...]

Mazda just sent me a teensy little Mopsy of my very own!
