@KymEllis Are you sleeping next to some plutonium or something? Sounds like radiation burns.
So I’m always on the lookout for new comics to read and my comic-reading friends have got my back big time. Yesterday my buddy Rick suggested I read a pretty recent comic mini-series called Kick-Ass by Mark Millar (Marvel Civil War) and John Romita Jr. (World War Hulk). So far I’ve read issues 1-6 out of an 8 issue run and I have to say I am super-impressed.
In my journey of becoming old and bitter I find myself more and more irritated with Americanisms. It seems, now, that not a day goes by where I don’t mutter “bloody Americans!” under my breath at something. Most of these, though are nothing more than manifestations of my own intolerance. I even annoy myself by how much they bother me. My top 5 annoying Americanisms, though, are ones that regularly get my back up. So here they are.

It’s been 3 years since Borat hit our screens and had the nation shouting “Is nice!” in a dodgy accent and now Sascha baron Cohen is back at it again with his latest character, Austrian fashion journalist, Bruno.

Gee, where have we heard that scenario before?
What makes a good bad guy? Is it when they’re terrifying, when they make your skin crawl? Or is it when they’re done so well that you actually like them? Well it’s no surprise that certain actors in Hollywood do bad guys better than pretty much anyone else. So here it goes, my choice for top 5 bad guy actors.
I’ve seen a couple of blog posts in the last few weeks on the subject of password masking. Jakob Nielsen’s post entitled Stop Password Masking makes a case for dropping the accepted standard that sees password fields blanked out by a line of bullets or asterisks. Nielsen claims that the security benefits are small at best and the impact on accessibility and usability is huge.
Personal post time! 
It’s been a long time coming, mainly because I’m not very interesting, but now I’ve got a bunch of good stuff to write up. Over the last few months I’ve been up to a whole bunch of stuff! I’ve been on holiday (well, short break), I’ve been to Santa Pod for Jap Show and most important of all; Nat and I have got our first proper place together!!
