Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars verdict
Last night a fair proportion of the internet sat down to watch the start of David Tennant's last hurrah as a Time Lord in Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars.

Confess your embarrassingly nerdy obsessions here
Watching Mastermind this week, I realised that basically all of my options for specialist subjects relate to pointless things I'm sad and obsessive about and none involve classical music, politics, literature or anything important.

From the return of Doctor Who to the Beeb's alternative to Flash Forward, there's something for every geek girl's viewing taste. Check … [Read more...]
Dave – it’s not just for boys
Not Dave the name. I'm all for equality of course, but to be honest, I'm not overly worried about reclaiming (or claiming, I suppose) the name for womankind. We probably have bigger fish to fry. Such as - to make a devastatingly neat link that will leave you stunned - Dave the channel! Because … [Read more...]

Etsy is full of some amazing items. Handmade jewellery, pretty kidswear, and intricate home furnishings. It's also got some awesome crap. So much crap that there's an entire website dedicated to it.
