Zut Alors, It’s Franglais!
France is something of a conundrum. On one hand it is a strong supporter of the EU, being a founding member, and on the other hand it firmly supports keeping it’s freedom and identify. One of the ways it guards its identify is through its language. For example, to...
Google’s Shared Endorsements in Ads and My Sex Change
I'm sure this is going to be a surprise to many of you reading this, but I will imminently be undergoing a sex change and making the transition from male to female. I may also be going blonde, my eye color is definitely likely to change, and I'm going to shrink. A...
Alien Crop Circles
Alien crop circles have been a part of conspiracy theory folklore for a long time. Quite why an alien would come alllllllllll the way across the galaxy to little ol' Earth, just to make a few circles in one of our staple food crops, I don't know. But, apparently they...

And so it was for one brave frog at the launch of a NASA rocket on Wallops Island. Obviously tired of playing second fiddle to the just-there-for-the-ride human cargo, one frog decided to hitch a ride into space. Equally obviously, he or she hasn't really grasped the...
Color Is Coming Back
Traveling around the US, there is one thing you can't help miss. The dominant car colors are silver, white and black. Red occasionally appears, but usually only on a sports car. But lately I've begun to think the time's they are a-changin' (sorry Bob). I don't...
LITClub – The Classics Hidden in Food and Friends
Shakespeare. Chaucer. The Old Man and the Sea. Despite the brilliance of these writers and their works, I’d venture that plenty of kids at high school view them with loathing. I know I did. Well, Chaucer, at least. Sorry, Geoff 🙂 Fortunately, there are many ways to...
