I raise this because I [...]
Blog: July 1st, 2008I often wonder what motivates people to add/favourite/blogroll sites to their own site, the real reasons, the deep down reasons other than, I dunno it was a cool site.

Blog: July 3rd, 2008What’s in a link? I thought I would start with webcomics. garfield minus garfield is an amazing frightening beautiful
comic. I really feel for Jon trapping the the world he is with no escape.

Blog: October 14th, 2008Upon finding Crimson Dark by David C Simon I was unsure about it, it looked good but it feels a bit derivative of Firefly.
