I’ve been using Audioscrobbler for a while now (go and laugh at my musical taste), just to see what it would do with the music I would play. I can look at my ‘favourite’ songs, see who else likes them, and then look at other songs that they like. It’s a good idea – though [...]

Prizegiving on Tuesday was good – until the speaker started speaking. He told us at the start of the speech to guess which out of “Inspirational, relevant, and ten minutes long” the speech succeeded on. I’ll give you a clue – the speech lasted 25 minutes, and the message was that you don’t need to [...]

So, exams start on Monday. That’s not going to be fun, especially considering that one of them is General Studies, the bane of my very existence. As far as I can tell, it exists solely to irritate those that do solely sciences or solely humanities, by forcing them to do a essay-based or a science-based [...]

‘Nuff said, really. But I also give you this optical illusion:
The squares A and B are the same colour. No really, they are.

Like across much of the country, it snowed today, and resulted in no school. After last year, where me and a friend built an 8-foot arch when there was no school, we wanted to go one better. The result? A ten foot arch made of snow. It is truly a wonder to behold and, to [...]
