    Zika the saviour

    This is the plot to Utopia. Applauding this as a positive development for humanity reeks of misanthropy and eugenics, especially when this is likely to affect the third world disproportionately.

    Babylon Reggae - spiritual, roots and political reggae

    It's a really big old UK soundsystem tune too. Play that to anyone who went to those blues parties in the eighties and early nineties, like Manasseh or Saxon and you'll see instant recognition.

    A personal history of personal computers - the ZX Spectrum

    Thanks guys! Yeah, I've been using some emulators to refresh my memory for writing that post. The thing is, there are so many games, it could have easily gone on for another twenty pages... had to pick the most innovative, if not necessarily the most addictive. I also liked games like Monty...
