New Zealand Music Month
We are deep in Autumn, with Winter trying to show its ugly face now and then. This means the calendar is getting a great workout. Free Comic Book Day, Star Wars Day, Sir David Attenborough’s birthday, the FA Cup Final, the Champions League Final, Spider-Noir, and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu are all in…
Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough
Welcome to this brief and special blog post! It’s a Friday, which is quite uncommon for me to post on, but today is a celebration of the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. In my opinion, he is one of the greatest science communicators of all time. Since 1954, this broadcaster has brought fantastic content…
Happy Star Wars Day 2026!
I find your lack of celebrating Star Wars disturbing. I’m kidding, but today is the best day to celebrate Star Wars, because it’s 4th May, or for my North American friends, May 4th, Star Wars Day! Once more, we can revel in the adventures of our favourite characters, set a long time ago, in a…
Happy Free Comic Book Day/Comics Giveaway Day 2026!

My wife’s reading habits are changing, and it’s becoming hilarious
This title sounds awful, but I have my wife’s permission to write about this. To take a step back, I have written several blog posts about my wife, particularly on the topic of reading, so the idea of me doing this is not new. See here for a reference. For a condensed version, my wife…
Flat Earthers and Space deniers vs Artemis II Mission
Since this beautiful planet has an axial tilt of about 23.5°, the Northern Hemisphere is currently roughly halfway through Spring. In contrast, in the Southern Hemisphere, we are in the middle of autumn, and it’s really starting to show. The winter pyjamas and slippers have come out, but we haven’t lit the fire; yet. It will…
We Didn’t Start the Fire: 1962
There once was a man named Scott,He thought he was funny, but he was not.He wrote a blog,It stunk like a bog,Because he had the writing IQ of snot. Just when you thought it was safe to venture online, actually, it’s not very safe, isn’t it? Thanks, Mark and Elon. Anyway, as much as I…
Three Former Failed Fluttering Flags
To the best of my amazing and gorgeous recollection, I have only made two blog posts about flags. That being the case, and unlike Robocop 3, I wanted the third instalment to be fantastic. However, the problem is that I’m the creator, so instead of Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, it will…
Sam Kieth and Chuck Norris: Thank You
So…how is everybody doing? It’s an interesting period in human history right now, and it can seem that things could be getting out of hand. Maybe things are already out of hand. Regardless of the truth, I want to take the time to acknowledge the deaths of two people who were recently announced. Before I…
