motion

Whilst silence is sometimes considered golden, it’s somewhat less so for an online presence.

Of course, usual US paranoia means such sharp humour cannot be exported by mere mortals, for fear that knives could burst forth from their asphyxia bound cardboard-and-duct-tape prison within the luggage compartment, through numerous bulkheads and […]

Just a wee tweak jimmy

Orange is (sort of) out, grey is in and the monolith that was the garish 60es wallpaper inspired header has been slain. Long live the king!
After quite some months of orange powered operation, the ‘foo has had a few edges smoothed and the taking-names-and-kicking-ass geekfu ninja is back. Cause Ninjas are cool. And deadly. […]
