If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

Reading on a Deadline
Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse
There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona.

It’s all part of my grander scheme to stay off milk as much as possible; which is in turn part of another even grander scheme. But that’s…

Films and what not
I need help! I need to make a film, before I go completely insane. I had all summer and I haven’t made a film yet – all I have is hours of holiday footage, along with some other stuff. So many ideas are swirling around in my head, but it’s getting motivated to actually do…

Busy weekend
I’m back in the game! I was helping dad to film a singer/saxophone player on Friday morning for his promotional video, which was actually pretty good fun. The performer we were filming does swing covers of rock songs and other things, in the style of Paul Anka, and he also plays saxophone mainly for restaraunts/functions.…
