And so it begins. At the start of the year, I gave myself a James Bond challenge. I wanted to rewatch all the Bond movies in order, and rank them. But I then added in reading all the original Ian Fleming novels for the first…
My original plan was to write a blog post every month to document my skateboard progression, but real life has gotten in the way of that. Gotten in the way of writing the blog posts, not in the way of skateboarding. So instead, here is…
With working from home being a necessity of late, many miss being in the office surrounded by their colleagues, and who can blame them? Office spaces have become increasingly welcoming, and with open plan layouts and comfy seating, working in an office has never been…
So… I’ve decided to learn to skateboard in my 40s. That’s cool, right? It’s not going to hurt at all, right? We’ll see. It should definitely be a fun ride anyway. Skateboarding has been something that I’ve admired all my life, although I’ve never been…

My deep dive rewatch of the #FastandFuriverse continues and now we’re on to the big guns. I remember Fast Five being the film that made me really sit up and take notice of just how big and awesome this franchise had become. I think it…
After watching the short film Los Bandoleros, I’m now moving on to the next feature film in the Fast and Furious franchise which is confusingly called ‘Fast & Furious’. This is the one film from the whole series that I really couldn’t remember much about…
