Model the spread of a zombie outbreak in the US with this handy tool. Settings available for bite/death ratio and zombie speed.
Spoiler alert: It would probably take longer than fiction would have us believe. Also, zombies aren’t real. But that hasn’t stopped me noting that my neighbour over the road has a katana/wakizashi pair in their front bedroom should I ever need to Michonne up.
You wind up taking work that at the end of the day you’re not proud of and over time that will eat your soul.
Great talk by Jim Coudal about how they moving from client work to your own projects, or to put it another way:
You know that idea you have? Do it now. Not in 6 months. Don’t squeeze it in at the end of the day. Treat it like it’s a paying client: give it the resource it needs, meet the deadlines.
Also don’t worry about failing. Some of Jim’s (as it turned out) not-so-great ideas in this talk are wonderful.
People of all ages are encouraged to get creative during the Love Leam month and design their own RLS Hero. The completion will run until March 31st then the most popular characters will be selected to be made into RLS Heroes Trading Cards. One lucky Hero will also be made into a life-size costume!
During the half-term holiday, children in Leamington will be encouraged to come up with their own superhero design at a special Heroes workshop. This will be in the Upper Mall of the Royal Priors Shopping Centre on Wednesday February 18. It will coincide with the Postman Pat visit from 11am to 3.30pm.
For the record Captain Leam is their example hero. He looks lame. My heroes will be totes amazeballs.
Thanks to Helen for the tip (though she says it’s aimed at kids when it’s clearly aimed at scruffy 30 somethings who live with their cats).
Best/worst Valentine? The year my Mum sent me a card from my cats.

Had my second game of Terra on Thursday and it was tough. Still great fun but not the improvement I hoped I’d get knowing a bit more about the game.
I didn’t get a chance to eat before heading out so my thought process was painfully slow; I highly doubt I would’ve won (Mike and Matt have played a hell of a lot more than I have!) but it was quite annoying to spot every mistake I made a turn or so after I had made it.
I scored low 90s as Halflings but I seriously screwed up my opening placement which left me neighbourless. Still, all a learning experience! I’m tempted to have a go at some online games to get a bit of practice in before I play again.
