So I went to see Watchmen in San Diego with Cassie and house-guest Martin. Of course, I’d been looking forward to it greatly, being a fan of the book and of Alan Moore’s other work. I’m not some huge Moore scholar, but I loved Watchmen and V for Vendetta, and I’ve read some issues of… Continue reading Like It Matters Here Is My Review Of ‘Watchmen’

You Make Me Feel Like A Technical Woman
This is my post for Ada Lovelace Day, celebrating Women in Technology, after my pledge to celebrate the inspiration and assistance that women have provided to me throughout my academic and professional careers.

25 Albums – The Reasoning
As a result of a recent Facebook meme going around, I created a list of 25 albums that I have loved over the years. They’re not in any order, and it could be said they are not my favourite albums of all time. Things, people, tastes and hairstyles change (thank goodness). But I thought it would be interesting to… Continue reading 25 Albums – The Reasoning
