“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Gentlemen, what do lions, wolves, cheetahs, tigers, and other large hunting animals have in common? There are many things, but one major common element, is that they try as much as possible to go for the weakest and easiest prey wherever possible. This helps them to...
For those of us who love HALO, the name, “Bungie Studios”, is one that we treat with great reverence. HALO fans – who make up a significant portion of this site’s readership – regard Bungie as the producers of the three greatest FPS games ever...
Well, the holidays were fun while they lasted, but it is now time to get back to work. Nobody wants to, of course, this being a Monday, and therefore the most horrible and awful day out of the seven of the week. However, if you work for someone else – and most...
At long last, the site (or rather, its author) is BACK. More or less. I had hoped to resume full writing duties by earlier this week, but, well, let us just say that a few things got in the way. Having been through this cycle a few times, I have learned a few lessons...

Despite – or perhaps because of – the fact that it was a short week, it has been an extremely busy one, for reasons that rather defy explanation. My last project wrapped up a few days ago, so by rights, things should have calmed down, but they have not. I...
After the Easter long weekend, Monday drops on us like a dog parking its breakfast on the lawn of our heads. Of course, if you happen to live in PommieBastardLande, where Easter Monday is a holiday – or if you work in the equity markets in the FUSA – then...
24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed...
Take a look at the picture above. Where do you think it was taken? Calcutta? Manila? Addis Ababa? Cairo? Nope. All wrong. That picture is from Great Britain’s second largest city (by population) – Birmingham. And that picture is a summation of everything that is wrong...
