As you can see, I’ve begun a new Youtube channel for the purpose of streaming my 1v1 Starcraft 2 matches in 1v1 mode. When this video was recorded, I was just in bronze, so I was trying to improve my game to get into silver. In this video, I am the red Protoss in the [...Read more...]

Science Fiction Break!

Perhaps you have an Extended Essay underway, or for some foolish reason (e.g. “Hey, why not?”) have decided to try to write a 50,000 word novel in one month, or have simply been overpowered with everyday maths homework or English notes.

One of my favourite sci-fi authors mentioned the book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes in a novel, so I decided to read it to channel the TOK spirit. It is definitely a “TOK” book because of all the deep Knowledge Issues that are present within it, [...Read more...]

I recently re-watched “The Time Traveler’s Wife” with a couple of friends of mine, and I really enjoyed the song that was played at the wedding dance about halfway through the movie. I remembered that “love will tear us apart” was repeated a lot, so I went home and Googled. Luckily I managed to find [...Read more...]
