The Somewhat Ambitious

When I was five, way back when in the heady computing days of 1990, my father dazzled the family by bringing home our first PC – a large, grey, boxy 286 Amstrad with a DOS prompt, a 5 1/4 inch disk drive and a black and green word processor. And I loved it. Yes, even [...]

Ok, it’s been quite a morning. Let me fill you in on the past 24 hours, as a LOT of weird and tragic shit has happened.
1) Farrah Fawcett died, aged 62, of anal cancer. Jesus.
This is just awful. Confusing, pointless, and an awful way to go. Also, previously I’d have giggled at the word anal, [...]

Here it is! Luke baptising me in the Yarra. I’d provide humorous commentary, but I’m off to grab a pint. With Luke, of all people!
Enjoy!

Ok. Voting closes on the 28th, so I’ve pulled my finger out, and here they are. My top ten songs of all time. Bear in mind that these are my personal favourites, not the ones I think will realistically win. Also, I had to leave out lots of Fushitsusha, Set Fire to Flames, Ryuichi Sakamoto [...]

HOLY HELL what a long absence. So, so sorry dear readers, both Luke and myself have been terminally busy of late, and it shan’t happen again. To make up for the break, here’s something you’ll enjoy: the brand new trailer for Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. I cannot stress this enough; do NOT watch it if [...]

Yes, almost a quarter of a century ago, the lab where Luke was assembled had a surprise in store for the world. Not content to have created the worlds first sentient robot, [...]

Yes, yes, I know I’ve been in dereliction of my duties to this site of late, but the last week and a half really has been an anti-blogging clusterfuck of illness and exams (Trusts law. I assure you, it’s even less fun than it sounds). And I have another exam on Friday that I need [...]

Well, I guess I sort of asked for it. Today, Luke kicked me into the Yarra. The premise of this weeks punishment (for the loser of No Fuck Friday 3) was to be “baptised in the Yarra”. The water was teetering around the six to seven degree mark, and I wasn’t so much baptised as [...]

Well well. You all showed up. Some said it couldn’t be done. Some said it was too late.
Ok, that’s enough vague bullshit meant to get you vaugely hyped. WELCOME TO NO FUCK FRIDAY! This is the fourth in our ongoing, and questionable, segment wherein the rules are very simple:
1) Luke and myself present one video [...]

In gaming news, the World of Warcraft mount system has been significantly overhauled. Or at least it will be, in patch 3.2, the same patch which will usher in the awesome new Tauren bear/cat forms, and the horrendously gay bedazzled Night Elf bear/cat forms. Sideburns and eyeliner ftw!
Below are some of the changes involved. Prepare [...]
