“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.”

That image comes from our good friend, The Male Brain, and it perfectly encapsulates and explains what a time-warp the weekend really is. Certainly, that is what the past weekend felt like. While it was relatively restful, it was also far too short for any real...

Egads! ‘Tis Monday again. Ah, weekend, we barely knew ye… I surely am not the only one that goes into blank verse when confronted with the horrors of Monday, but this one isn’t all bad. Earlier today, I retrieved my tabletop standing desk from...

Seeing as it’s just before July 4th, and that is a Very Special Day for the Yankees among us, I shall open with a greeting to our heathen rebel colonial friends over in Amerikhastan, who will celebrate the 247th anniversary of their rebellion against the lawful...

Well, that sure was a strange weekend, eh? One minute, it looks like the Russian government might actually be in some danger of a serious existential crisis – and the next, it turns out that Putin always had the situation well in hand, and Prigozhin is on his...

Mondays are genuinely tough days – as I found out this morning, when I woke up cranky and short on sleep, due to very humid weather last night. So I went through most of the day lacking concentration or motivation to do very much of anything. As you can see,...

Welp. Here we go again. Monday is back, and I’m already tired. Actually, this one was not so bad, as it was considerably less crazy than past weeks have been. Things have calmed the hell back down at work a bit, which is always nice. Nonetheless, Monday remains...

Normally, the Great Mondaydact Browser Killer is all about making the day pass by with humour, dank memes, crazy linkage, and a healthy dose of geopolitical rants. It takes hours to assemble and is generally quite good fun, but the point is actually to waste...

Oy. Mondays. They are way too damn frequent, they arrive way too damn fast after the weekend, they last way too damn long, and they are way too damn noxious. Going through a Monday, especially after a very nice and restful weekend with beautiful weather, is like being...

Ah, Monday. Our old enemy. We meet again. And, if you’re anything like me, you tend to start your Mondays having to deal with the Dreaded Spawn of Billzebub – POWERPOINT. I swear, if I could pay someone a commission to just automate all of my...
