I’m Paul, a creative technologist based in Perth, Western Australia. I dabble in a range of things from animation to web dev to 3D shaders. I like to use open source technology and giving back to that community.
Trump's "truth" about Pope Leo is the Chef's Kiss of unhinged lunatic rants.

Creators make the content.
Admins keep the lights on.

Does Iran even need nuclear weapons given they can just open and close the Strait of Hormuz to make the world shit itself?

Nuking anyone just once would invite a massive disproportionate military response.

Cutting off the world from oil? Can't justify mass casualties for that, and Trump's weak strategy has proven it.

You don’t need a navy to mess up Hormuz. Not only are guerilla tactics still on the table at that point, no insurer will let you sail cargo through that shit!

During the 1980s and 1990s, portraying same-sex relationships in mainstream film was still controversial.

Many of the most authentic and heartfelt stories of that time came from
independent filmmakers working outside the Hollywood system.

Here are my favourite seven cult classic LGBTIQA+ comedy films from that era. These are great films that deserve more recognition.

If you're interested in queer history or indie cinema, this one might be of interest.

I've just finished writing my 2026 guide to the best restaurants to order Uber Eats from in Perth.

We strongly believe that if we're paying someone else to feed us, it better be as good or better than what we can cook for ourselves.

Unfortunately life sometimes gets in the way, and takeaway becomes the only practical option.

In either case, knowing where to go matters. So here are our top 10 picks:

When Stable Diffusion first emerged, we were excited to use it for concept art and production. But as ethical concerns around copyright and training data surfaced, we walked away, abandoning hundreds of hours of research and style work.

Remember when TV seasons had 20+ episodes and we got to see those goofy episodes that filled out the world building and characters?

That era gave us some of the most iconic, genre-defining sci-fi ever made. Long-form character arcs and ambitious world building we rarely see now.

I put together a shortlist of my favourite sci-fi series from that golden age of cable television. If you're craving proper binge material, start here:
