Urban Arcana, an action series inspired by the Hasbro/Worlds of Wonder role-playing game which follows an undercover detective who must protect the human population from the influx of chameleon-like, mythological creatures from a parallel world. Aron Coleite (Crossing Jordan) will write, with Gary A. Randall and Rockne O’Bannon (The Triangle, Farscape) [...]

I developed these as a late-night snack last time I was studying, and they’ve served me well ever since. I’m craving one right now, but I don’t have the makings, so the best I can do is talk about it.

Both computers: working.
Phone line & ADSL: fixed.
TV: not responding to remote. (Which means no DVDs, since you can’t put it on A/V input via the TV’s controls.)

Two steps forward, one step back.

I’ve been in this house for oh, seven years now. It’s ugly, it’s suburban, the landlord’s a slacker, and the new real estate agents are nazis.

Why am I still living here? I keep asking myself this one simple question, and for a long time I’ve only come up with one answer: because I can’t afford [...]

Hitachi and Toshiba have both just broken the data storage density record for hard drives. Wikinews reports that Hitachi just hit 230 Gb per square inch; the previous record was ~130 Gb/in^2. The technology uses perpendicular recording, as opposed to the longitudinal recording in current drives.

Toshiba have been racing Hitachi to the finish; they manufacture [...]

Apple has announced the release date for Tiger, aka OS X 10.4. April 29th – sixteen meagre days away. Interestingly, though, none of the non-American Apple websites have anything about the release date in their /macosx sections, which is going to make a lot of people very sad if it’s an indicator of rollout delays.

Edit: [...]

We’ve just handed in our major group assignment for GSN408 – Fundamentals of Marketing Management. We chose Apple as our target for the assignment, which was a marketing ‘audit’, and specifically their marketing of the iPod.

It’s been really fascinating stuff. I’ll put the paper up here later, once it’s been marked and returned, but here’s [...]

We’ve just been told that we can’t use laptops for our end-of-term Marketing exam, even though it’s an open-book exam. And even though we were told we were required to have access to a laptop for the course.

Sigh. My typing is about three times faster than my handwriting, and a lot more legible. Not to [...]

An anecdote one of my lecturers told today reminded me of why I refuse to give David Jones any of my money.

A few years ago, after my insurance settlement had come through, I went to buy some comfortable shoes. I spent an unsuccessful hour in the specialty shoe shop at my local shopping centre, and [...]

Kung-Fu Hustle. Aka Gong fu, it’s a mix of kung-fu and 1930s gangster stylings, and the trailer’s absolutely hilarious. Unfortunately it’s not due til July 21st.

In the meantime there’s also Madagascar, on June 16th. It’s an animated feature and normally the stars would be enough to keep me away – Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David [...]

I haven’t been around much lately. This is not because I don’t have thoughts in my head – they’re just not worth sharing, because they’re mindless babble about Constantine. This movie has eaten my brain, I swear to god.

Still here, though. :)
