Posted by: Ace on: August 21, 2009
So I was looking at the subject profiles for the archaeology course at my university.
Budding archaeologists at my uni are trained at something called the Teaching Archaelogical Research Discipline In Simulation site, which is generally known by its acronym.
Thus I came across this on the uni website:
And of course, this being a top university the TARDIS site [...]
That’s one awesome sword.

Or: the tale of the quest for the Roboraptor
Behold. Nemi has a fondness for roboraptors.
From the time I was sixteen, I wanted a roboraptor. They combined two of my great interests, robots, and dinosaurs. How could I resist? But they first came on the market at a RRP of $150.00 AUD, so no chance. They dropped [...]
General rambling…

Things are somewhat more, er, interesting at home than of late. My mother broke a rib by leaning against the car’s gearstick-thing, which is painful, and means bad news in the bones-density department. It also means I am the Housework Queen for the foreseeable future (read: only person who does any of it) as Dad [...]

Last week I went to Game On, an exhibition of computer games, consoles and gaming machines past and present, as well as displays showing sketches from the development of games, the impact gaming (and gaming subculture) has had on culture in general.

There have been a couple instances where comics produced well before the new series of Doctor Who came out contained a person who looked much like the Tenth Doctor.
For example, in a Buffy comic:
Seriously, does the couple in the first panel look like Ten & Rose or what?
and then in an old Fourth Doctor comic:

I watched the latest Doctor Who episodes, Turn Left and The Stolen Earth this week. This leaves me with one more episode for this series, the yet-to-be-screened final episode.
[SPOILERS AHEAD]
The School Roof Incident
Posted by: Ace on: June 5, 2008
When I was in lower primary school, one of my greatest ambitions at the time was to climb the school roof. The particular building I wanted to climb was single-storey, with a flat, horizontal, corruated-iron roof. Right next to the building was a netball hoop. It seemed the perfect roof to walk around on. I [...]

I feel kind of guilty about the fact that I created this blog days ago, yet I’ve yet to post anything. Is this some kind of internet crime? Like when you create a web page with awesome and totally free computer games with big ‘COMING SOON! CLASSIC GAMES LIKE COMMANDER KEEN AND JILL OF THE [...]
