What’s going on Internet? For day 18 of #WeblogPoMo2024 I’m jumping back to music to ask a very serious question: Why do you like Nirvana? This came up after a heavy Nirvana listening session this weekend, and my wife commented that she realised that she doesn’t actually like Nir … | Continue reading
What’s happening Internet? It’s day 17 of #WeblogPoMo2024, and I’ve had a hell of a day with the kids, so this isn’t going to be anything amazing. As a devoted X-Men fan, my collection spans from Uncanny X-Men issues 200-300, X-Factor 1-101, to a myriad of randoms across the deca … | Continue reading
What’s going on Internet? As we move past the halfway point of #WeblogPoMo, I figure I should break up the recent TV and Music posts and share some thoughts on some recent comics I’ve enjoyed.

What’s happening Internet? It’s day 15 of [#WeblogPoMo](/tags/weblogpomo2024] which means we’re halfway through, yay. I just finished the season finale of X-Men '97.

What’s up Internet? The last few #WeblogPoMo2024 posts have been music focused, so I’ll do one more for day 13 and do something else the next couple of days.

What’s happening Internet? For day 12 of #WeblogPoMo2024, I’m going to share one of the greatest Hip-Hop tracks (and video) to come out of Aotearoa. The early 2000s were huge for local Hip-Hop. Between 1999 and 2008, during Helen Clark’s Labour government, during which she served … | Continue reading
What’s going on Internet? As it’s NZ Music Month, I figured a great post for day 11 of #WeblogPoMo2024 would be to share a favourite local album from last year.

What’s going on Internet? For day 7 of WeblogPoMo2024, I want to remember a television show I enjoyed back in the day, Entourage. The show ran from 2004 - 2011 for eight seasons and a feature-length film to wrap it up. Mark Wahlberg served as an executive producer, and the show w … | Continue reading
How’s it going, Internet? For day six of #WeblogPoMo2024, I’m going to write about a TV show I just finished watching: Griselda.

Following yesterday’s post about albums you can sit down and listen to front to back without any skips, I wanted to use day 4 of #WeblogPoMo2024 to share another “perfect” album.

What’s happening Internet? Was it just me, or did April feel like it came and went like nothing? It might have felt rushed to me as I was busy wrapping up work and handing over my day-to-day tasks as I prepared to go on parental leave until September!

Hello web surfers, where did February go? We’re right into March already, so I’m a bit late with this post.

Hello web surfers, I can’t believe January is already behind us. I did less writing than I wanted this month. A few posts that I had drafted will transfer over to February and hopefully get finished.
