Review.
Someone called this Now and then, here and there 'a harsh show', and boy oh boy, is it 'harsh' indeed.

Netflix - The Dragon Prince - Season 1
Review.
The Dragon Prince is an anime series in a style similar to Avatar and The Legend of Korra. Not very surprising, as some of the people behind The Dragon Prince were also involved with Avatar and Korra.

Bob Shaw - Orbitsville (Het Stalen Paradijs)
Review.
Starts as a space opera, turns into an exploration story, to end up with a bleak view of a bleak future. Hmm...
Parts are good, as usual Shawn brings a surprising concept and adds some twists. I like the story, but I do not fully agree with his conclusion.

Batman Gotham Knights
Review.
It is a bit confusing, but there is a comic series Gotham Knights, a home video release Gotham Knight, and The New Batman Adventures which is also known as Batman Gotham Knights.
Clear as the inside of his cape, I guess. Superheroes and their confusing timelines and naming schemes, sigh...

Mediasoup, a Windows 10 Homeserver
I run a small (Windows 10) home-server that provides everyone in my household with pictures, movies, shows and music.
To be honest: mostly music (Squeezebox). On my hard-drive I've kept a few (very old or forgotten) series which are no longer available, neither on Netflix nor in retail. My days of endless torrenting are long gone.

Night of the Proms
Review.
You may have heard of the Night of The Proms?
In spite of some blemishes I still enjoyed myself. Just John Miles' rendering of Wreckingball was worth it all.

Secomber
Someone asked me about the old Secomber file I created 10 (20?) years ago. In answer I restored a few pages from the old website. If you're interested in a (very small) part of the Forgotten Realms setting then have a peek.
It's here in the archive and includes a large map by yours truly.

Terry Pratchett / Stephen Briggs - The Discworld Companion
Review.
A book of facts about a fictive world. Some parts are lifted from the stories, many are new. And they're all funny.
If you would expect a 'compendium' to be a dry summary of facts, well, you're damn right about the facts part. But even facts are funny on the Discworld. This is good stuff, and a must have for avid Discworld fans.

Microsoft giveth and Microsoft taketh... or: the death of Office 2010
Column.
