The Genre Field is Dead
JasonJ, commenting on Charlie Stross’ post The Death of Genre, said this: Tags, as long as they are accurate, are just what I’ve wanted. I long ago stopped bothering to seej just fantasy or just sci-fi – there are plenty … Continue reading
Reflections of a Minecraft victim
Maybe it’s the novelty, but I’m finding Minecraft an extremely addicting game. Yes, the graphics look crude, but that’s deliberate. The gameplay is simple, but infinitely rich, depending on what you decide to do. Create a great stronghold with all … Continue reading
“The Power of Fear in Networked Publics”
We fear the things – and people — that we do not understand far more than the things we do, even if the latter are much more risky. For this reason, it’s not surprising that people fear technology. Its newness … Continue reading

Early Japanese Fart Humour
You’ve all heard of (and in some cases, masturbated to) The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife. Well, forget that. They also found farts excruciatingly funny, as these artworks show.
Petrol, sea slugs and abandoned monuments
It’s rebloggery time! After all, I imported a swag of Precipitate Flood’s tumblr entries, so maybe it’s time to see what I’ve been finding fit to echo.
