Let's go a-MaryAnning

June 3, 2004

Excellent new blog from Rosemary Marks, perplexingly called Mary Anning. Not sure if 'to mary ann' is a verb or not, but if it is, I'd love to know what you do whilst you're mary anning. All that aside, Rosemary's blog is only six posts old, but she's hit the ground running – a good […]

June 3, 2004

Looking forward to NotCon04 on Sunday, although a bit miffed that due to my general widgetlessness, I shan't be able to make the most of the backchannel, #notcon on Freenode.

The Day After Tomo… brrr! It's cold in here!

June 1, 2004

I've just had two separate reports from people in different countries (NZ and Switzerland) that they froze their butts off when watching new disaster flick, The Day After Tomorrow. Whether it's all in the mind, or whether the managment sneakily lowered the temperature in the cinema when the snow scenes started is anyone's guess, but […]
