Soda Pop Art: 2013 in Music: A Year in Review (Miley Cyrus Edition)
http://soda-pop-art.blogspot.com/2013/12/2013-in-music-year-in-review-miley.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. 2013 in Music: A Year in Review (Miley Cyrus Edition). And it's not just Miley Cyrus either: 2013 was a banner year for pop across the board. This was the most fun I've had with music in over a decade. Maybe it's that my own tastes and lifestyle are changing or maybe it's just because the scene itself is changing and people really are. This good and this energized, though I suspect a combination of both. And this is what a scene like that sounds like. In the city that we love.

Forest of Illusions: June 2012

Tuesday, June 12, 2012. 8220;Seemed Like The Way Of The Future”: VR Mk. II and Video Game Narrative. Note: So clearly what I'm talking about here is the Oculus Rift. I'll leave this up as my larger points on VR are ones I still stand by, despite getting the details of the machine itself pitifully wrong. I hope to have a full review of the Oculus Rift once the consumer version ships, as well as a follow-up on the promise and potential of VR. Sometime later in the year (2013). Which I'm sure you'll find is...

Soda Pop Art: May 2013

Wednesday, May 15, 2013. New Blog Announcement: Voyage with Vaka Rangi. The very first television programme I ever fell in love with was Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'd watched cartoons, of course, and had flipped through the channels enough to have a working knowledge of late-80s early-90s prime time TV, but I never considered myself a fan of anything. When I discovered Star Trek: The Next Generation. Comes out Friday as of this writing, this seemed like the perfect time to set sail. I'd also like t...

Saturday, November 23, 2013. An Introduction to Classic Doctor Who. Psychedelic Spacial Dr. Who" by Doomguy1001. Today marks the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who. I don't want to add too much to the glut of celebratory discussion today, and there are people far more qualified to talk about the show than me (such as my friends and colleagues Phil Sandifer. I've really only ever considered myself a casual fan of Doctor Who. Over at Vaka Rangi. But a few years back I went through the Classic Series myself to ...

Monday, November 12, 2012. 8220;A tale in everything”: Wishbone. OK, maybe I just have a thing for talking dogs. Is a prime example of something that could only exist as part of a commitment to the public good. Not, as. PBS advocates would have you believe, because of how much better it is than. By virtue of it being on PBS alone. It's not, by default, though it does staggeringly well for itself). But rather because of how. Forward-thinking, ambitious and. Ludicrously insane it is. Has something to do wi...

Forest of Illusions: “Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light”: Mí Bhealtaine and the Dream-Child
http://forest-of-illusions.blogspot.com/2012/05/pet-hobby-of-mine-has-always-been.html
Friday, May 4, 2012. 8220;Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light”: Mí Bhealtaine and the Dream-Child. A cat may look at a king.". A pet hobby of mine has always been studying the often-uncanny reoccurring patterns that surround different facets of history, mythology, folklore and language. Call it the result of synchronicity, “name games”, the emanation of a mysterious Fortean psycho-social “ Twilight Language. Speaking more broadly, the first week of May has traditionally held a very unique ...

Wednesday, April 17, 2013. But, even in the west, the Rainmaker vanishes. No one needs him anymore.": Linkblogging at the end of Skyrim? This isn't going to be a really massive update: I do have big plans for this site I'm busily working on behind the scenes to set in motion and I have a major blog project unrelated to this one I'm currently scrambling to get into a reasonably presentable form. But, there was one piece of recent game industry news I absolutely had to say something about. Alone a frighten...

Monday, February 11, 2013. Mythic Dimensions: Digital Technology and Performative Art. Recently, I went to go see Peter Jackson and Weda Digital's latest opus The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In theatres. I enjoyed it, which should say something given what it takes to actually drag me *to* a movie theatre, let alone appreciate whatever's onscreen. I'm not going to talk about the movie itself here though: I'm far from a Tolkien fan so I have precious little investment in the plot. The fact it was shot.
