Celebrity Tabletop Gaming With Wil Wheaton
I’m a huge fan of boardgames and all things geeky, so was thrilled to hear that Wil Wheaton would be hosting a Geek & Sundry show about tabletop gaming, with suitably nerdy celebrity guests playing along each week. The producers, Geek & Sundry are the people responsible for the hit web series The Guild and [...]

Geeking out at Cardiff Comic Expo
Despite a slightly sore head (from falling over while roller skating and getting concussion) I braved the mean streets of Cardiff for the Cardiff International Comic and Animation Expo. Well I say the mean streets, but it was actually held in the rather lovely Mecure Holland House Hotel, which was made even more lovely by [...]

Roller Girls Support WWF’s Earth Hour
I have been rushed off my feet recently with work, snowboarding trips and derby (so all fun stuff), but I wanted to quickly show you a video my roller derby league the Cardiff Roller Collective made with the WWF, in support of Earth Hour. We had lots of fun skating round in the dark, with [...]

Sherlock Returns
Let me start by saying I’m a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, I love Mark Gatiss and I also adore pretty much everything Steven Moffat has ever been involved in. Regular readers may even have read my post about the first episode of the first series, where I gushed about how brilliant it was, how [...]

Game On
So I have always been a gamer, from playing basic games on a Dragon 32 when I was 6, spending hours helping (unofficial) pacman munch his way around my early pc screen, playing Sonic or R-type on early sega consoles, up to modern(ish) day consoles and PC games. Most vistors to my house will have [...]

Favourite Festive Films
Posted on 20 December 2011
While I love plenty of worthy or intellectual films, heavy science fiction or discovering foreign gems, I still have a soft spot for traditional feel good family flicks, especially at this time of year. As much as I love to be challenged and surprised by movies, there is definitely room for more familiar, sentimental films, [...] Continue Reading

It’s all about me…
Posted on 08 December 2011
I’m really busy so I shouldn’t be taking the time to write this, but I have been feeling terribly guilty for neglecting my blog so much.. so I figured it was about time for a quick update. Yet again, this is an entirely self indulgent blog about my personal life, so feel free to skip [...] Continue Reading

Isle of Fight.. another roller derby post
Posted on 01 September 2011
As I mentioned in my last post I recently joined the Cardiff Roller Collective, where I have been improving my skating skills and learning how to play roller derby. On top of the fun of skating and improvement of fitness levels, there have been a few unexpected benefits, most notably getting to know a unique, [...] Continue Reading

This is not a spoiler
Posted on 13 July 2011
What is a spoiler anyway? Strange question you might think, but recently I have started to question how people actually define a spoiler. Anyone who knows me well will know I suffer from severe spoiler phobia, as a result of having had a few films and series ruined over the years. When I know something [...] Continue Reading

On a Roll
Posted on 08 July 2011
I haven’t posted for a while, not because I have been sickly for a change, but because I have been really well and kinda busy. I’m on some new medication, which has reduced my pain incredibly. I decided to take advantage of my new found wellness, so have started roller skating and training with a [...] Continue Reading

Brilliant Newspaper Design (from mr supermaw)
Posted on 01 June 2011
My husband @renduh, who works as a designer for Media Wales, recently created this video, which shows him designing a supplement cover from beginning to end. Now I have been enjoying watching his mad design skills for years, but I still love this video, as it really illustrates the skill that goes into creating newspapers and magazines.

Why I love my Kindle
Posted on 23 May 2011
The latest Kindle has been out a while, and plenty of people have written about it’s specifications and capabilities, so this isn’t that kind of review. I really just wanted to share my experiences of reading on a Kindle, as opposed to reading a book, in case anyone is wondering if they should take the [...] Continue Reading

It’s OK to be Takei
Posted on 20 May 2011
I’m sure lots of you will have seen this already, but just in case you missed the awesomeness, I have to share this brilliant video from George Takei. The Star Trek actor’s response to Tennessee’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill is hilarious, and highlights just how ridiculous it is to ban discussion on sexuality. You can [...] Continue Reading
