I think I can safely speak for many of us when I say that I'm really not that good at keeping up my fitness.

The best places to learn code
Ever since I tried the Hour of Code back in March my mind has kept on trickling back to the idea of coding.

The ghost of season one is stirring… Game of Thrones S4E5 – Dork Review
This is one of those episodes of Game of Thrones where, to be honest, it’s hard to identify a main plot. Is it the crowning of the new King, considering it’s in the title?
