Almost 50 years on, it’s still airing somewhere. The Brady Bunch was a Gen-X touchstone due to frequent reruns in the 1970s and spawned sequel series, TV movies, a variety show, an animated TV show, off-broadway recreations and…
Sometimes hardware gets a bit… buggy. I was reminded of this when reading a recent article on io9 about how the PS4 is apparently perfectly designed to attract and retain cockroaches. These roaches set up a nice home inside…
Yes, I get it. I talk way too much about Star Wars and Star Trek on this blog. I have been accused of trying to turn this blog into a generally geek-oriented news and view site and some people say…
This popped up around April Fool’s Day and while I picked it up as an obvious trick, I have to really applaud the hard work put in here. Someone spent a lot of time creating an…
One of the most beloved characters in the history of television, Leonard Nimoy’s Spock hardly needs introduction or description. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never watched a minute of Star Trek, you know who Spock is. The character…

I saw this short film a couple of weeks ago and can’t get it out of my head. Called The Narrow World,, you’re meant to think at first that it’s a riff off every alien-landing movie…
Going way off topic this week, apparently scientist have discovered what may be a completely different species of insect from anything that has ever been seen before. Aethiocarenus burmanicus is unlike anything you (or science) has ever seen….
If you haven’t visited Worth1000.com, you’re missing a lot. The site has been running Photoshop contents for nigh on a decade that combine the truly artistic with the oddly laughable. Their recent contest had participants recreating…
According to the internet (which is always right) You get a Friday the 13th about every 212 days. So, three times in two years. Since it’s the first Friday the 13th of the year, my thoughts…
This recently unearthed video shows us what people thought things would be like in 2017. It was made back in 2007 and I’m not saying it’s wrong, just not quite right. Facial recognition? check. Biometric payments?…
Ever since I read that a German team is planning to send an unmanned probe back to the moon, I’ve been fascinated. The moon landing was, I would say, one of the seminal events in my young…
December is famous for a lot of things, but for the most part we associate it with a number of holidays. Today is “Black Friday,” the day when the holiday shopping season traditionally kicks off. But…
