  • Ghosting – not your normal comic!

    My daughter has finished college now and, later in the year, heads off to University to study comic-book art. As part of her final project she created a comic book. But it’s no ordinary comic as this one deals with depression, understanding, and being an adult – a style that I now understand is called “slice of life“.

    You can help her out by downloading it from the link below – it costs just $1.50 and with that you get extra material along with a video. Get it before she’s the “next big thing” 😀 Honestly, you won’t be disappointed.

  • Ok, we get it, you don’t like Pokemon Go

    Ok, we get it, you don’t like Pokemon Go. Fine. Do like I do and ignore it. Jeez.

  • Is there a fundamental flaw in the Back to the Future films?

    Is there a fundamental flaw in the Back to the Future films?

    I suspect I’m not the first person to realise this but I’ve realised there’s a fundamental flaw in the Back to the Future trilogy.

    In the second film, Doc explains how the timeline works and, in particular, how if you change it, it creates a new future timeline on which you then travel.

    So, when in the 3rd film they go back to 1885 and they change the future (the ravine, etc), this means they create an alternative future. A future in which Marty didn’t go back to 1955 and change how his parents meet. So when he ends up, at the end of the film, in 1995 doesn’t he now have the dorky parents and siblings again?

    "My ass, Manhattan"?

    I’ve just received an email from the company RevenueHits. Now, up-front, I should add this was spam – I’ve never signed up to them and they’ve used an email address of mine that I’ve not used for many years.

    However, what caught my eye was the appalling grammer…

    RevenueHits miss you and created the contest for you and used the Summer-Olympics spirit to create a contest with huge prizes like the below

    And…

    However, the icing on the cake is the address they list…

    RevenueHits Ltd. · My ass · Manhattan, NY 00000 · USA

    Classy.

  • DND Issue Reported to Android

    DND Issue Reported to Android

    Had an issue this morning with Android this morning that I’ve seen before. Thankfully, they make it really easy to report bugs, so I have (obviously, always search beforehand to make sure it’s not already known).
