One of my modules in my course is called Human Computer Interaction. It's about designs to make it easier to use apps and programs. This is a good idea in principle, though the execution seems to have missed the mark. See, the module is quite fun, I have a lot of experience creating and designing...

This Halloween I had a realisation. As I geared up to dress up for the first time in around 10 years, I looked at some of the things my friends were doing. I had a relatively low effort cowboy outfit, modern clothes, modern gun, a real holster which I got a ridiculous amount of pleasure out of...

I’ve studied computer science for around 4 years now, and I can say with absolute certainty that it’s the single most depressing career choice in the world. Everyone sells it to you as ‘oh its very hireable, there’s loads of job openings for it’, but they don’t mention that the reason for the job...

I love the show but it's never one that I set time aside for. It's...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most influential cinematic properties ever created and an important part of my childhood. Of that there is no doubt. There is also no doubt of its lack of quality as of late. Now, many of the great modern philosophers have discussed why this downward...

The other day I got bitten in the face by a dog. It was a surprise to me, but it really shouldn't have been considering this dog had attempted to rip my throat out the last 2 times I saw her - odd considering dogs are meant to enjoy strange smells. Naturally I was shipped off to the nearest...
