A glass of red, paired with the dulcet tones of Tangerine Dream?

As I'm closing in on the end of the Confrontation project, I've decided to do some gap filling. This essentially means finishing off any WIP figures and making sure each gang is at least 10 models strong. After a bit of a stock-take, this meant that I needed to paint 3 more psykers, 3 more Helmawr, 2 more maniacs. Plus the Scavvy gang of course.Step 1 was to get those …

Thank you once again to everyone who participated in this year’s survey of freelance cartographer rates and business practices!

Photographer: Neil LibbySummary Author: Neil LibbyMy son and I couldn't help but notice the center of these orchid blossoms look strikingly like orb weaver spiders. It's known many orchids are devious flowers when it comes to reproduction -- they use trickery to attract potential pollinators. In this case, perhaps the pollen mass in the central column mimics a spider to attract bird pollinators. Or, maybe to trick spiders into thinking …

In't language wonderful? We make these sounds with lingua, lips and larynx [Ug Ug beep beep] and other humans (and some dogs) can understand them to carry a particular meaning. Not all other humans, of course; your {family | roomies | co-workers}will probably get your drift; but someone who has just struggled from a leaking inflatable through the grating roar of pebbles which the waves draw back and onto Dover …

Patrick’s launched his latest Kickstarter, Queen Mabs Palace. In a real plot twist, the book isn’t a D&D module, but a novel. I suppose novels were the first adventures. I’m reading Patrick’s last book now, Gackling Moon, which is a gazeteer for the Wodlands, a weird fantasy setting. It reminds me the Wanderer’s Journal from Dark Sun: pure vibes. There is some gaming material in the book, but it feels …

Labour didn't have a great conference. Following a supposed triumph, the mood was hardly upbeat confident. It was best typified by Keir Starmer's speech, which will only be remembered for an unfortunate misspeaking incident. Still, it was much better than the Conservative conference. Labour were subdued, but the Tories attended a catastrophe. A quick reminder about what happened in July. The collapse of the Tory position, long forecast round these …

There are just no words for the magic of these luminous side canyons, oases of shade, reflected light, water and life. Canyon aficionados will recognize this immediately as Saddle Canyon, it’s no secret. It is, however, basically impossible to access except by river. It’s one of the classic side hikes, for very good reason, and a personal favorite of mine. “The glories and the beauties of form, color, and sound …

I’m really thrilled that our research article on government IT procurement was recently published in Canadian Public Administration. It’s a bit over two years since Prof. Amanda Clarke and I began this research project, and this article being published is in some ways the final milestone of that work. The article is open access, and you can read it online (or download the PDF version). Here’s the upshot: We reveal …

I get a new iPhone most years and I tell myself it's for the photography aspects, but honestly, I'm ok buying a new pocket computer each year, especially one that is used more than any other computer I own.I usually get the iPhone Pro in whatever cool color they're making it in that year, but ever since they shrank the bezel and went full glass on the fronts, I noticed …

My dad might be Austin Powers. When you open his closet it’s like being transported straight into the 1960s prom scene. Dark velour suits, purple polka-dot ties, and frilly shirts hang beside each other like dusty friends from days gone by. “Can you spare some mothballs?” I picture a silk shirt saying to a velvet vest. “I’m not going to make it otherwise.” My dad was a high school teacher …
