Signals from the collective brain-drain. Sunday, 26 October 2008. Falling far from the tree: the story of a switcher. That said, they do make fine laptops. Part 1: I own a Mac. I decided to do some background reading. Turns out that, as far as MacBooks go, mine is pretty good. I wanted to see what it could do. Part 2: Apple lies – Macs are not for pleasure. Tommy Tallerico, at the recent Video Games Live concert in London, got the crowd to hold up mobile phones, PSPs and DSs instead of lighters. One ...

Free From TV: September 2008
http://freefromtv.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Signals from the collective brain-drain. Sunday, 21 September 2008. Breaking the faces of friends. I am a Tekken. Seriously, challenge me. I dare you. I would put money on most people not being able to beat me at the game. Give me Devil Jin, Lee or Baek, and you're only laying a single punch on me before I floor you. Let me choose Xiaoyu, and you won't even get that punch. . 2; it's easier to learn an actual martial art than play Virtua Fighter. Is just too serious about itself; Dead Or Alive. Ordinarily...

Free From TV: The human potential for laughing inappropriately at exactly the right moment
http://freefromtv.blogspot.com/2008/10/human-potential-for-laughing.html
Signals from the collective brain-drain. Sunday, 26 October 2008. The human potential for laughing inappropriately at exactly the right moment. After the earthquakes a few months ago in Chengdu, a group of Russians were working with local Chinese emergency services as volunteers to dig for survivors. One survivor, when he was found, saw the green eyes of his rescuer and reportedly said:. Ta ma de, zhe dizhen zhen xiong, ba wo zhen dao wai guo lai le! Ermmm, am I missing something here? Or a new brain.

Free From TV: Up in flames: When real life burns out fiction
http://freefromtv.blogspot.com/2008/03/up-in-flames-when-real-life-burns-out.html
Signals from the collective brain-drain. Tuesday, 11 March 2008. Up in flames: When real life burns out fiction. The most important hallmark of being a good writer isn’t necessarily being good with words. James Joyce proved that you don’t even have to be particularly good with grammar. If your story sucks, all the long words, run-on sentences and semi-colons in the world won’t save it. A good writer needs to be able to put together a top-notch plot. Take this, for example. True story. There followed a fe...

Free From TV: August 2008
http://freefromtv.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Signals from the collective brain-drain. Monday, 25 August 2008. Question answered: why I like superheroes. I took Yu to see Iron Man. Tonight, which marks the third time I have been to see the film at the cinema. The BFI are running a superhero season, which is a brilliant idea. I’ve never been to the BFI at Southbank before, although I have been to the IMAX down the road (I saw 300. There – never was a film more suited to an IMAX screen). I stopped reading comics when I went to boarding school, and onl...

Free From TV: December 2008
http://freefromtv.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Signals from the collective brain-drain. Sunday, 14 December 2008. This is a rant about why I stopped enjoying going to the cinema. Yesterday, we went to the cinema to see the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. It was, predictably, awful. Will watching this film on a big screen with large speakers improve it or not? I don’t just pay to see a film with money. I now have to pay in time and brain space. Is another classic example of this. And the films do feel lazily put together. The climax of Th...

http://freefromtv.blogspot.com/2010/03/ive-gone-and-left-you-all-alone.html
Signals from the collective brain-drain. Wednesday, 3 March 2010. I've gone and left you all alone. It's been a while since I last posted anything here. Which pretty much means this site is dead, I'm afraid. I've now set up shop with my own domain - geoffscaplehorn.com. So please drop by and see what I have to offer. At some point, I'll start up another blog there. Watch that. Space, if you please! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Read the whole series on Twitter.
