Marvel comics related accidents around the home

With Arjan requesting a photo of me wearing my replica Mark 2 Iron Man helmet it reminded me of something that I thought of a little after I realised that the helmet was actually wearable.  There is no way I could fit my glasses underneath it so not only will the tiny eye holes (maybe [...]

Apparently I’m Arial Black

Some people are really into fonts, I am not one of these people. Fonts serve their purpose and I know a little about the history of some of the more prominent and well known fonts.  I probably know a little more than your average person on the subject but am nowhere near font geek [...]

iTunes: a completely useless addon to my iPhone

I don’t generally hate on iTunes like some people do, it’s the software that comes with my various iPods and now my iPhone and I’m generally happy with that except there is no Linux version which does bug me slightly.  I do the right thing, I don’t hack my iPhone or for that matter my [...]

Housekeeping: you want fresh towels?

You will notice that we are now sitting in a new theme, or you’ve never been here before and wondering why I’m offering you fresh towels and going on about a new theme.
I wasn’t completely happy with the previous theme and how it appeared on some browsers, monitors etc.  When I saw this one in [...]

Retro cinema: The ‘Burbs

I liked Tom Hanks before it was cool to do so, or is that before it became uncool to do so?  Either way I love Tom Hanks early work, back when he was hilarious, before there was Gump.
The ‘Burbs is one of those films that reminds me of school holidays, it’s summer, you’re on holidays, [...]

I hate this paper and don’t understand why I insist on using it!?

Every time just lately I go hunting for an blank art book to draw in I always seem to be picking this one book up which has awful, textured paper that is completely wrong for what I want it for!
But for some reason I keep on settling down and using the bloody stuff.
Yes it is [...]

What I’m reading: PJANG

When you pick up an indie comic book you often feel the need to cut it a lot more slack than you would a Marvel or DC book.  The thing is of late the Marvel and DC books have not been impressing me in any way shape or form and so fo me it was [...]

Wanted film vs Wanted comic

I think I only know a couple of people who had read the Wanted comic book before seeing the Wanted movie.  Twitter is full of the conversations between people saying they just saw the movie and were now going to hunt out the comic book.
Of course come to think of it I don’t recall reading [...]

The Clone Wars - Spoilers without even seeing the film!

Yawn.
Oh sorry, I was thinking about a badly animated Star Wars film set in between the real Star Wars films but not featuring any of the actor’s voices except for one.
Yawn.
Ok got to stop doing that.
The problem I have with the new Star Wars animated film is that I can’t see the point of actually [...]

Tim Sale’s Iron Man

I like the early Iron Man armour, the golden one that he developed to not appear as a monster to people.  It’s the replica helmet I own and I’d like to see some more storylines revolving around the old clunky armour which even by today’s standards would still be incredible.
Anyway here is one of my [...]
