Weirdly, yet another piece of spider-based animation dropped this week which captured the hearts of the internet, though this time less Tumblr and more Reddit. The first trailer for Sony's new …

Lucas the spider has been doing the rounds of the internet this week and I fully understand why. I'm not the world's biggest fan of spiders but I'm also far from arachnophobic, even finding certain …

Particularly great for invertebrate species, but UK Safari has put together a wide collection of photos on a huge variety of critters found in the British Isles. Particularly great that biomorphs and …

I just spent the evening at Bill's, catching up with good friends over good food (and better beer, despite the confusing …

Probably not, but I'm definitely caught in a web. Web traffic interests me, it turns up weird stuff. I don't get many pageviews, but largely they originate in other countries, with pretty strange …

A very thorough article discussing how to convert a Chrome browser into an SEO testing environment, through a combination of browser settings and third-party add-ons. I personally like the idea of …

Month in media is an archived project, now with a permanent home in the Reviews section. Films, TV shows, books, video games, and other media watched, read, or played in July 2017.

An amalgamation of all the data you get fed at the end of a year. From Spotify Wrapped, to Google tracking, to my own beer journal, a look back over 2019 from a (mildly) data-centred viewpoint.

I can never remember what the differences are between noopener, noreferrer, and nofollow, or when best to use them, so here's a handy guide that covers pretty much all of the …

Well it's been a long week of other distractions rather than writing, but I have built up several things to link out to, so I guess a round of links from the web is in …

I'm a big fan of projects looking to archive information of endangered species, particularly quality images, biomechanics and video, so that if conservation efforts fail future generations still at …
