This post is spoiler free for Games of Thrones fans who’ve not yet read the books. The Maid of Tarth, Brienne “the Beauty” makes her appearance in the TV show in the second season. She was going to be hard to cast because she’s a knight, because she kicks arse and because she’s very tall. […]

The Dark Side – Come to the Dark Side, we have dubstep
Something, something, Dark Side – one of the best lines from Family Guy ever. What else could you do with the dreaded words “Dark Side”? What about creating a rather funky dubstep, combining it with a mashup of clips, pinning it up at YouTube and pointing a whole bunch of geeks at it. Yeah. That […]
First picture of the Dwarves of The Hobbit; Nori, Dori and Ori
This picture shows the first of the Dwarves in the forthcoming The Hobbit movie. Pictured here are Nori, Ori and Dori. Nori is played by Jed Brophy, Ori by Adam Brown and Dori by Mark Hadlow. I remember these guys well. We’re along way off from getting our eyes on The Hobbit. What does your […]
The Browncoat Anthem – Firefly rap
It’s a sign of a popular TV show – a very popular TV show – that the fans are still contributing to the community years after the show was cancelled. This rap has the lyrics “Curse you Fox” in it. It also has the lyrics “.. at least we got Serenity” so I think it […]
Watch where you put your hands – monster bikinis
Let’s consider some topics of conversation. Zombie bikini goodness. Evil vampire bikini goodness. Werewolf bikini goodness. Strange blue and yellow monster bikini goodness.

Giant 555 timer chip is giant
Do you need an integrated circuit to fulfil your timer, oscillator applications and pulse generation needs? You may well pick up a 1970s style, Camenzind and Ball designed 555 timer chip. That’s all when and good – but these 555 timer chips (or 555 integrated circuits) are very small. Very small. Tiny. If you had […]
Confirmed: Beth Willis, Doctor Who’s Executive Producer to leave
There had been rumblings of trouble but face it – when Doctor Who isn’t on air there’s nothing quite like worrying what could go wrong. Doctor Who fans like myself are very good at it. It turns out some the more recent rumbles are correct. Beth Willis will be leaving Doctor Who. Beth was one […]
Chi Chi the All-Seeing Eye Dog is a tiny terror of dooooom
Imagine having a Lovecraftian watch dog. It would be an odd shape of angles and lines. It would have one, bold, brave and staring eye. It would hint at insanity. Chi Chi the All-Seeing Eye Dog has these qualities. There is, however, a problem. When coming to this dimension Chi Chi failed to grapple with […]
Harry Potter: I’m a Hufflepuff. We R Slytherins.
It’s Harry Potter fever all over again. The premier shows today in London. Or Loondoom as I like to call it. Online retailer Play.com will be streaming live from the red carpet via their Facebook page and the internet is madly busy making viral candidate videos that ooze Harry Potter. A starter for ten is […]
Jessica Rabbit as Slave Leia x 2
For some mystery the picture of Heidi Klum dressed as Jessica Rabbit is one of the most popular photos on this blog. Slave Leia posts are uber popular too – except this one. I wonder how well this pair of mashups will do; Jessica Rabbit as Slave Leia. Any bets? From The Daily Dingo. From […]
