On Mood Icons
A few years ago I used Alden Bates’ Dalek mood icons on the blog. Then, for whatever reason, I stopped using mood icons. In retrospect, it was probably that I’d changed the layout and they didn’t “fit” well with whatever layout I had going at the time. So, we’re going to give them another shot.Continue reading “On Mood Icons”
On the Shore Leave Round-Up
It occurs to me that others have written long and lengthy posts about the things they did at Shore Leave over the weekend. I’ve mentioned dribs and drabbles here and there–yes, the TARDIS USB hub is fantastic–but I haven’t done an all-encompassing thing. And since it’s Thursday (or something like that–my time sense has goneContinue reading “On the Shore Leave Round-Up”
On This Week’s Radio Free Skaro
With the third season of Doctor Who finished, Warren and Steven turned their attentions this week to a very different subject for their forty-second episode of Radio Free Skaro—the works of Douglas Adams. The episode covers Hitchhikers–radio play, books, television series, film, computer game–and its sequels, with mentions of Blackadder (as Tom Baker and SimonContinue reading “On This Week’s Radio Free Skaro”
On USB Hubs
Did I mention this? I’m not sure. On Saturday, at Shore Leave I purchased a TARDIS USB Hub. I’d been wanting one for a while, even though I had no real need for it–my keyboard at home has a built-in USB hub, my CPU tower has a front-access USB port and four USB slots inContinue reading “On USB Hubs”
On “The Land of Happy Endings”
So I’ve been reading the Doctor Who graphic novel, The Flood, starring Paul McGann’s Doctor. And I have decided. “The Land of Happy Endings” may be the most perfect Doctor Who story ever. Dr Who and his grandchildren, John and Gillian, have a little adventure on a very sad planet. Sad grey aliens, flying robots,Continue reading “On “The Land of Happy Endings””
On a Whovian Theology
Okay, I lied. I’m still on a Doctor Who high at the moment. Yes, I did say a few days ago that, just last week, actually, oh let’s see what the quote was, “hopefully I’ll be writing about something other than Doctor Who for a while.” It happens. Something I came across in my ‘netContinue reading “On a Whovian Theology”
On Shipping Disappointments
An online retailers I’ve done business with for many years is shipping a package I’m utterly impatient for… Via the Dumbass Handlers League. Yes, DHL, is handling this very important package. On the one hand, I have the shakes from my impatience. It’s like crack, and I need my fix. On the other hand, IContinue reading “On Shipping Disappointments”
On Whovian Cast Changes
We’ll go behind a spoiler cut for Americans not up to date on the just-finished-in-the-UK third season.
