“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.”
Poasting is going to be light to non-existent (which is to say, only slightly less frequent than my usual barely-phoning-it-in level of output) over the next two weeks or so. My family is in town, and I have been very happily spending the last couple of days in their...
Today is Pi Day, and that will mean precisely NOTHING to the 99.14159265897% of you who are not, for some strange reason, tickled by numerological nitwittery, the way maths majors (like me) are. Of course, I can hardly blame you for this. Irrational constants like π...
For years, I have been VERY harsh about one Larzzzz Ulrich, founder, drummer, and leader of Metallica – a band that I consider to be hugely overhyped and overrated. That being said, there was a time, back in my teens, when I did listen quite a bit to their...
There has been an awful lot of fuss in the US of late, about “drones” and “unidentified flying objects” – or whatever they are called these days – buzzing around various military bases and civilian installations. Here are a couple of videos showing the nature of the...
Seeing as it is October 31st, and it is “that” time of the year again, let us go a bit against the grain and crank up the volume ALL THE WAY TO 11, with everyone’s favourite GRANDDADDIES of power metal: The funny thing is, though, that HELLOWEEN, despite their name,...
Right, chaps, seeing as I will soon be on summer vacation, let us try to class things up a little around here. I was scrolling across TEH YOOTOOBZ earlier today, when a rather curious video popped into my recommended viewing list. After listening to it for a little...
Canadians do not get much love around here, and with pretty good reason. When I lived in the FUSA, all the Americans I knew, essentially looked at Canuckistanis as the effete, probably gay, far too polite, French-speaking, very confused cousins of the Free and the...
I first started watching STAR WARS seriously as a teenager, and got to be an avid fan of the series, for many years. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, I consumed vast amounts of the Expanded Universe lore – right up until the point where LucasArts released the...
My friends, after many years of disparaging the real revelation of the true god, I came to the conclusion last night that I have been following entirely the wrong course. You see, it so happened that I went to sleep in something one might best describe as a cave last...
There has been quite a lot of hoopla about Princess Catherine of Wales in PommieBastardLande, who has apparently gone missing and been replaced by a not-very-convincing series of body doubles. The whole fracas started when the future Queen went in for abdominal...
