Election Time

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

It’s election day in the US, no more Bush, and by the looks of it we’re getting Obama for the next four years (He got my vote from day one).

Looking at the BBC’s ticker of the day it seems that the turnout is excellent, and people are actually interested in voting. I wonder if we can manage to do something similar with the next general election here in the UK?

Heroes

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Without spoiling things for the UK citizens who haven’t been grabbing Chapter 2 via the internet (Try WatchHeroesOnline or cucirca), Heroes continues to be slightly ass-whuppin.

Despite a few slow points, the 2nd chapter (First 11 episodes of Season 2) is a good arc which really builds some characters. The ending makes you wish there wasn’t a mid-season break. Curse that Writers’ Guild strike!
