Comic-Con Con, and Games
Something has happened. I believe it is known as “Summer”, but it is rarely present in these parts, so I am currently writing in the park to make the most of the situation. I haven’t gotten round to writing in a while, thanks to assignment deadlines and a general lack of motivation, but I shall…

It’s Business Time (And June)
The end of exams may be drawing close for some, but my ordeal has only just begun. This summer is going to be spent doing labwork and writing my thesis, which I shall be trying to finish up as quickly as possible. This year has been good, but it has also been much busier than…

Essays, and the Terminator
3,297 words later, another essay bites the dust. This time I was writing about the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), covering what’s out there at the moment, and what’s in the pipeline. All I can say is, I’m glad it is over. My research project presentation is on Tuesday, and after that I get…

Blackmagic, and other fantastical things…just kidding
A break! It feels like it has been so long since I have had a proper holiday, one without anything to do, and this holiday is no different from others. There are many things to do and so little time to do them. And that isn’t including coursework. Essays, papers, presentations and more await me…

The 3rd PC Building Issue – The Drawputer!
I might have posted sooner, had I not been involved in the greatest project this year (for me anyway). I finally have a workspace to call my own. It is still needs some finishing touches, but it is damn exciting. Over the last few months I’ve been working on coin rings, but without a bench.…

More goats?!
Goat Simulator has arrived! Well, it arrived last Friday but I’ve been too busy playing it and, at times, doing actual work that I have not got round to writing about it. Fear not, however, as this is the long awaited review of Goat Simulator. Perhaps one of the greatest games of our time, Goat…

Goats…just goats
Only on the internet could a joke rapidly become one of the most wanted video games. I am talking about the one and only Goat Simulator, the physics based game that has the player wreaking havoc as a goat. It’s an idea so ridiculous, and fantastic that it is hard not to love it. Even…

Spreadsheets, Rings, and Oculus Rift
Spreadsheets. Both the facilitator of work, and the bane of my life. Whenever a table has 96 columns and 427 rows, that particular table should just be put out of its misery. And all this before the data analysis can even begin. Who knows when I’ll be finished. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But…

Moshing, Skating, and Thieving
Stiff Little Fingers I’ve had a wealth of interesting experiences in my life: I’ve eaten ice cream with an ex-undercover detective in Calabria, scoffed true deep-dish pizza from the one of the original establishments in Chicago, sampled mancakes in NE Portland, and challenged myself with all-you-can-eat fish and chips in Garibaldi, to mention a…

Story
This will be a short one, so don’t expect to be blown away. For me, writing has always been about expressing myself, and reflection. Reflection to help me understand and appreciate the experiences I have had. Lately, most of my writing has been scientific in nature, constrained by logic and reason, forcing my creative side…
