Why is the blog called Waves?

Posted inSite RelatedNo Comments
Someone asked me this the other day at Threefest. Well, here's the extended version of the rather brief, unprepared answer I gave. I'm waving to get your attention, beckon you over and get your interest. It's like my brain-waves being on show, thought processes being broadcast to the monitor.

Looking at the inside cover of E200 brought it all back. My bookshelves used to look like this! And here they are,…

From The Forum: Consoles as Weapons

Hey look, a totally irregular new feature. I was going to call it "Forum Quote of the Indeterminate-Time-Period", but it was too long a name. In the Nintendo DSi topic, Extreme Ironing wrote: I wish videogame consoles could still be used as weapons and remain fit for their purpose afterwards. You chuck a 360 at a guy, sure, it's gonna…
