Month: September 2007

Just another quick note, pointing out that Mondolithic Studios have done some totally (if you’ll pardon my French) kick-arse illustrations for Scientific American depicting what would happen to New York City if humanity suddenly vanished. Pure nectar for apocalypse junkies like myself, and great desktop image material (the ruins of the Brooklyn Bridge are on my work computer right now).

Check out some of their other graphical work while you’re there too. It’s great stuff.

In other tidings of comfort and joy one of my favourite podcasts is back online after a two month or so hiatus – Dragon’s Landing (yey!). They quite messed me (and a lot of other people) around on Sunday by linking to episode 82 rather than the new epsiode 83, but they’ve got themselves together now and I’m looking forwards to an enjoyable evening of gaming goodness once I get home.

OK, this is just a quick note to say that I’m not actually dead.

I had two weeks off work which I spent relaxing, overdosing on Gilmore Girls DVDs and not worrying about blogging, and then came back to work and spent two weeks of madness catching up after my two weeks off work, and then another week of madness because my colleague Bevan was getting married last Saturday, and is taking five weeks off for his honeymoon. So the madness and only sporadic blogging will probably continue for quite a while yet.

On the upside though I basically have ABSOLUTE POWER in the office whenever Dale isn’t here – which is most of the time nowdays because he’s doing a lot of work from home – and am looking forwards to enjoying that absolute corruption everyone is always talking about 😀

But before I fall subject to megalomania and attempt to take over the world I thought I’d post a link to The Chemical Brother’s new video clip – well I say new because I only saw it on the weekend, the song and presumably the clip have been around for quite some time. Anyway it’s called The Salmon Dance and is pretty damn cool, both the song and the clip. So, get out there and shake your body like a salmon floating upstream!

PS: Helen, expect a reply – and ideas about Richard III – soon 🙂
