Series or Parallel
Posted on January 28, 2009 | 2 CommentsI appear to have some difficulty when it comes to series. Inasmuch as I seem to be incapable of reading the whole series from start to finish. For example, at the moment, I’ve read the first three books of “The Dark Tower”, by Stephen King;... -

Shakespeare in Ned
Posted on January 20, 2009 | No CommentsA brief google appears to indicate that no one seems to have taken the time to translate any of the works of William Shakespeare into the dialect of Neds. This is a crime. If only I had the time or energy to put it right. -
Wonderings and Ponderings
Posted on January 16, 2009 | No CommentsI wonder if using a garish and hideously bright wordpress theme could consitute an actual act of assult. See, I like this one – I munged it many years ago when the intertubes were less slick that they are now, and it reminded me (at... -
