I have spent all evening trying to do a basic, non-JSON "Hello World" app. Because the last time I looked at iOS programming was about three OS versions ago. Probably should have started with this tutorial, since it's actually doing the things I want. Bugger.

- 15 Scifi Mockumentaries That Will Leave You Questioning Reality
Mostly just bookmarking this to remind myself to watch a few of these – I've meant to watch Ghosts With Shit Jobs for a while now, and a few of the others look interesting, too.

Stunning video – I had a great aunt with Parkinsons, and visiting her was my first real understanding of disability. Really pleased to see the progress that's been made in treating the condition over the years. - Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe | Math with Bad Drawings

Andrew saves me the bother of writing a post about the Superman movie. Not that I was seriously planning to. Bt seriously: if you haven't gone yet, don't go. It's not good. And if you don't mind being spoilered to fuck, this will tell you why. - The Most Important Scenes from Man of Steel (As I Remember Them)
OK, usually snarky internet reviews aren't exactly my thing. (Yes, I know. Shut up.) I sort of feel like the energy used in producing them could be better used elsewhere. But you know what: I enjoyed reading this more than I did watching the movie. (Spoilers all over the shop, if you do click through.) - Llangernyw Yew – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just want to remember that this exists, really. :)

- Is the outrage over Stuart Hall’s 15-month sentence justified?
This is an interesting write up. I have been tending to share twitter's outrage at the sentence, but reading this more considered write up makes me wonder about it – not because I think it was fair or right or good, but because it does seem, on the face of it, to have been *just*. Which is all we can, or should, ask a sentencing judge to be.
