“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.”
When news broke yesterday that the legendary Chuck Norris had died, I could not quite believe it, at first. Chuck was one of those figures that sort of inspired his own legend – preposterous though parts of that legend were. Those of us who actually followed his...
Today is, of course, every alcoholic’s favourite non-holiday, which essentially seems to involve drinking vast quantities of beer while wearing something green and speaking with an outrageously bad Oirish accent. No doubt the good people of Ireland find all of that...
For the MAFF NERZ among us, today is, of course, Pi Day, which is a far better fake holiday than pretty much any other you care to name. In my personal opinion, it is a better day than Valentine’s Day, Star Wars Day, and… Oh, wait, I forgot, today is ALSO Steak &...

The latest release of roughly 3 million documents (thereabouts) from the so-called “Epstein Files” has landed like a hammerblow across much of the Western world, and with very good reason. The details contained in the emails – where they are not covered in black ink –...
Longtime Readers will know quite well by now that I have a particular, special, and burning hatred of Microsoft, and with very good reason. I have been using Linux as my, uh, “daily driver”, as the kids these days insist on calling it, for… going on 18 years now, I...
I have thus far refrained from commenting in any significant way on the unrest in Minnesota, simply because I am not in the US any longer, and what happens there is of significantly lesser concern to me now than it used to be. Nonetheless, with the latest spate of...
