Apple, the modern Knights Templar
I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed II a lot lately, and simply put – it’s a great game. It has the Knights Templar in it as the main enemy and architects of conspiracies and coincidentally I had to spend some time in an actual Templar related organisation (at least they call themselves Templars, although the order [...]
The History of Wolverine
Marvel comics is something I’ve adored since my older brother introduced them to me in an early stage in my life. Wolverine has always been one of my favorite characters and this IGN comics article about the origins of Wolverine is a very good read. The new, leaked Wolverine movie is also coming, so plenty [...]
2nd of 5 Reasons why printed media will evolve
Note: This is the second part of my week-long series of posting 5 reasons why I think the printed media will have to evolve and what I think it should evolve to. The steps will be posted daily starting with this on a Monday, and ending on this week’s Friday. If you missed the first [...]
Passion for games
I love many things in life, and I think my life would be boring without this fact. One of my deepest and most sincere loves is gaming in pretty much any medium. When I was born, our family was fortunate enough (and more so by older brother who was born eight years before me) to [...]
A few words about Markus
What ho! Just a quicky to assuage my guilt at failing to deliver a speech at Markus’ wedding last weekend (which was splendid btw) To give the backstory I agreed a while ago to say a few words but I have a history with weddings. Despite generally being one of the best public speakers in [...]
Shiny things and urban life – Part 1 of why I don’t like them very much
I’m sitting, as I write this, in the middle of the Latvian countryside, miles away from anywhere, and I love it. I haven’t seen or heard a car or another person for 2 days and I couldn’t be happier. I come from a small village (more a hamlet) in Cornwall a few miles from Land’s [...]
Pillows of safety
It’s been an eventful couple of weeks with definite highs and lows. The highs have been a couple of really good party weekends – my wife and I have birthdays 6 days apart so we celebrated this year with a 3 day party at our place in the countryside (a pet project – renovating a [...]
Kiss me and pinch my nipple…hard…harder…mmmmm
I begin today, both with a fairly obscure homage to Natural Born Killers (an another ex-pub quiz team name, if you were wondering where Intriguing Cleavage came from), and by taking the momentous step of losing my blogging cherry. I suppose I should begin with some kind of introduction. When Markus wrote the interim message [...]
Feliz Whatevaah
Björk is singing about craving, I’ve been in bed all day. Prison Break is so damn cool, the ultimate TV fix. Why can’t all series be like that, especially when you have the ultimate TV media in the top of your lap, delivering continuous goodness all the way. Give it to me mommas! New Year. [...]
