Hellboy concept art

I love concept art, I think if I had to pick a career as a dream job it would be concept artist.  I love the idea of sketching something out and then seeing it in the flesh.  The good people at Universal sent me some links to some Hellboy stuff (in a very cool viral [...]

You know how it is, you enter the cinema, settle down in your chair and silently pray to the great pumpkin of the universe: “please let this film be good, please!”
And it isn’t.
Sometimes it surprises you, you’re shocked that a film you thought was an easy home run turns out to be a dog.  Here [...]

A funny thing happened on the way to reading three books in three weeks…

Over at Matterings John is also collaborating with another friend of Quit Your Day [...]

Wordpress 2.5

So I couldn’t wait, everyone was concerned over the screenshots floating around for the next install of Wordpress and as soon as I found the candidate release I figured why not install and see what all the fuss is about.
So far I actually quite like the admin which is probably the most obvious change.  Of [...]

That’s it MyBlogLog

For the forth time now Mybloglog has logged me out and I can’t remember the stupid Yahoo ID thingy that they forced onto me when they sold themselves to Yahoo. I never wanted another login somewhere, I certainly didn’t want one which is so bloody hard to get my password from that it causes [...]
