Stalking Venus

The Order of the Stick web comic is one of my favourite web diversions. I have fond memories of being a Dungeons and Dragons basement dork back in the days before I knew about exciting things like women, the outdoors, socialising, sport, sunlight,  and… Well, most things.

Do you own a website? Go get yourself ranked!

It’s a free service that hooks people up internationally so that everyone becomes both a student and a teacher to someone else. In other words, if someone wants to learn English, I can become [...]

I ran across this yesterday and decided I’d give it a try. Several hours later, I forced myself to save and exit, or I would have ended up getting carpal tunnel syndrome in my eyes! GemCraft is one of those really simple games, but with totally addictive gameplay.

The idea is pretty simple. Beasties come out [...]
