Dave Has, Probably, Completely Lost It
This is hugely random for my first LJ thing in an age, but it's on my mind so I thought I'd throw it out there. It's a maths/statistics puzzle sort of thing which I'm vaguely thinking of incorporating into a thing (Murder Mystery Puzzle, you know) but not knowing the first thing about maths or statistics I have no idea how to even frame it properly ( Read more... ) -
Am I Missing Something Blindingly Obvious?
Another trying-to-work-out-my-thoughts question to People Who Know.

Lost: One Production Designer's White Stick
God alone knows, I'm the last person to rail against changing elements of the popular television show Doctor Who, but the New Daleks, visually speaking, are just fucking awful. Tony deciding what the hell we'll invade Iraq fucking awful. Something so fucking awful that it pisses away hope and goodwill and can't help but taint what follows after, ( Read more... )
