For anyone who hasn't seen the trailer to the next Indiana Jones film, go have a look here.

As you're probably aware there's been a fire at Camden Market and that's a bad thing. It all appears to be very much doom and gloom at the moment but we'll have to wait to see what the real damage is. However, something I noticed whilst looking through the news articles (well, the BBC website) was this sentence ( Read more... )

Whilst perusing the splendid catalogue from the store of the Planet that is Forbidden, I chanced upon an advertisment for some kind of strange raygun device. Unfortunately, the alcohol consumed later that evening made me forget this wonderous invention until just now. So, I cranked up the mechanical computational device and discovered this piece of ( Read more... )

One of the problems about not having a TV signal (lack of aerial, soon to be rectified) is that I don't see trailers for what's on unless I go scavenging around t'internet for them. So, I've not seen this until now. No, there's no Sam Tyler but it is set in the eighties :)

Went off to see this yesterday with a lot of expectation about this.

Amongst the various actions that made him rather infamous in the history of Egypt, he took a monotheistic stance on religion and decided to travel hundreds of miles into the desert to build this ( Read more... )

I've just had the fun and games of upgrading my PC so it's all nice and wizzy, particularly allowing me to work on a range of time consuming tasks at the same time. This is stage one of the process. Yes, it's no longer a beige box but it doesn't look good enough, I think.

I'm taking some inspiration from this site http://www.datamancer.net/, home of ( Read more... )

Right, going to post stuff because I haven't recently. So, this won't be a collection of youtube links to Lego (because I've not found any recently) just some random stuff ( Read more... )
