Less Memes More
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007I’ve decided to cut back on the number of Thursday Thirteen and Wordless Wednesday posts. Partly because I’m spending too much time on them each week, partly because I want to look around for some different memes to try and partly because I’m finding it harder to come up with good ideas for them each […]

Why did the Pedestrian (Not) Cross the Road
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007I’ve noticed a lot of the new breed of pedestrian crossing and light controlled junctions appearing across Liverpool recently. They’ve got sensors to see if there is traffic, that the traffic hasn’t blocked the crossing and to check the pedestians are standing at the crossing. They encourage pedestrians to look in the right direction by […]
Astonishing Adventures in Rendering
Friday, November 9th, 2007I’ve been creating some renders as possible illustrations for my short story for The Steward, the Kriegsherr, his Femme Fatale & her Brother. Some I’m happier with than others which is a shame as I want to use them to make a montage…
Thursday Thirteen #34
Thursday, November 8th, 2007My 11th Thursday Thirteen was a list of birds I see on my way to work. Tonight I’ve compiled a list of types of people I see when I’m out shopping. Adulescent – Dresses and acts like he’s 16 although he’s now in his 30s. Barbiedcutie – Would be attractive woman who has spent too […]
Thank you Next
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007It’s easy to complain about bad service (Orange and Dell have both come in for a bit of that here) so I thought I ought to say thank you to the staff of Next who made the purchase of two new sofas a painless process. The shop staff were helpful and answered all my questions, […]
NaBloPoMo
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007DarkDwarf mentioned NaBloPoMo, National Blog Posting Month, although since these things seem to not follow traditional boundries I’m wondering what the national anthem of blogging is. Since I post most days anyway I’m just going to have to make sure I have something to say every day…

Thursday Thirteen #31
Thursday, October 18th, 2007I’ve finished editing my next short story to send in to Astonishing Adventures Magazine. I’m already thinking about the next story and I think it’s going to include a deadly maze. Here are a few of the traps I’m thinking of using in it. Darts, arrows or spears – poisoned for extra deadliness Pit […]
