“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.”

Well, that escalated quickly… This weekend sure as hell didn’t start out the way most of us expected, what with a new war kicking off right quick in the Middle East. Waking up on Saturday and seeing all the rockets and shells flying was a very serious...

It is axiomatic that weekends never, ever last long enough – as the Great Prophet Murphy might once have phrased it, “the length of the weekend is inversely proportional to the amount of rest you need to recover from the week”. Certainly that was...

Man, don’t you just love Mondays? (Said literally NO ONE, EVER – unless you live in PommieBastardLande, and it happens to be what they call a “Bank Holiday”, which means you get a day off for essentially no reason.) This particular Monday just...

“Yay, it’s Monday again!!!” – said literally nobody, ever. I certainly am in no mood to say any such thing, because I’ve spent the last several days fighting some sort of weird throat infection that makes swallowing feel like trying to...

The Didactic Mind Big Bad Brutal Browser Buster is back, boys! And holy heck do we have a LOT of catching up to do. I am back from my (very badly needed, as it turned out) time off in Russia and Kyrgyzstan (yes, really), and I have plenty of stories to tell, which...

“Lord, let Monday be over quickly, without serious adverse events, and a minimum of idiocy.” Such is the prayer we all utter, in some form or another, more or less, before the workday starts after a quiet and relaxed weekend. Unfortunately, things rarely...

The weekend went by way too damn fast, and now we are back to Monday – a most MISERABLE Monday where I am, unfortunately, given it has been bucketing down with rain all bloody day long. Nonetheless, the Great Mondaydact Browser Bowser (not a typo) is here to...

This Monday certainly was not a welcome occurrence. The weekend was way too damn short – though that may have something to do with the fact that I spent most of Saturday morning playing HALO 4, most of Saturday afternoon sleeping, and all of Saturday evening out...

Monday. Eugh. It’s like that disgusting gunk stuck to the bottom of your shoe that you just cannot get out, no matter what you do. Unfortunately, you cannot throw away the shoe, and you cannot get rid of Monday – it is just something we must endure. That...

Well, Monday is actually almost over where I am, and it has been an exceptionally busy day doing… research, honestly. Though, given the way I tend to go about researching things – i.e., down to the nth degree – it is not perhaps surprising that I...
