The Hobbit movie not one, but two!
That’s right, all you Quenya-blabbering, pointy-eared, Balrog-yelling, dwarf-loving lunatics out there – The Hobbit will be two movies instead of one, and they’re coming out in 2011 and 2012. Hopefully before the Mayan end of the world. The movies are written and directed by, oh, I don’t know – fukn Guillermo Del Toro (Blade 2, [...]
What happens to old gadgets?
I’m currently writing this post sitting on a big sofa, writing this on my Mac, which I think is my 8th Mac laptop in a row. My wife is sitting next to me, typing something on her Mac and in front of me is my trusty HTPC Mac Mini (with Boxee) and so many other [...]
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 [...]
eBooks, Kindle and the iPhone
Today I made a leap towards a future I’ve been supporting for a long time, but something I have been reluctant to start enjoying – electronic books. For a long time, I’ve been on a personal mission to reduce my use of paper by embracing everything digital – be it all my writing, mind mapping, [...]
Doctor Who – Planet of the Dead
Although I am still grieving the departure of David Tennant from being The Doctor, there are still three more specials coming with him. The next one is coming April 11th (yay) and here’s a quick look of it: I can’t wait for the return of the series though, with Steven Moffat in the helm (the [...]

Natural design
I’d like to take a couple of minutes to talk about biomimetics. “?” some of you may be asking right now. For those of you not familiar with the term, this is design that has been inspired by nature – for example, how many of you knew that Velcro was inspired by the burr on [...]
Star Wars Trek
People who know me know that I really like Star Wars. Star Wars is huge, it’s everywhere: There are games, books, stationaries, backpacks, movies and what-have-yous. There have also been a few TV shows, but they have been crap. Honestly, Ewoks? When you could do a NYPD Blue of Stormtroopers, Pimp my X-wing or cooking [...]
Happy-go-lucky-but-violent-porn
Following the strict orders of Benesek’s world-saving agenda, the UK government went ahead and banned “extreme and violent pornography”. I think this means that no more BDSM and probably all the other nasties will be outlawed as well. This is all nice and dandy, but since I was a little girl, I’ve thought that suppression [...]
