The Ultimate Brownie Recipe Guide

Over on Relish.com, Tessa Arias has done us all a favour, and experimented with how to make different types of brownies - what happens when you use brown sugar, what happens when you add an extra egg.

For the brownie lovers out there, I suggest you take a look!

Friends, it has been a while.

To be fair, one of us was busy getting married, and the other has been busy doing a Masters. (Another one, god knows why.)

So, we are about to attempt to get our brains around blogging again. Hopefully we can come up with some good stuff!

In the meantime, enjoy this magical video of Stephen Merchant, Jimmy Fallon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt having an epic lip-synching battle.

Are you past-oriented or future-oriented?

Fascinating lecture about the way we think about time, and how this changes just about everything about our culture and lifestyles. The bit about challenges in modern education was also super interesting (to me, anyway, but you people should know by now that I'm a big old nerd).

For more lectures like this, on a wide variety of topics, search YouTube for RSA Animate. It's good stuff.

Porcupine eats banana, has nose, sounds adorable. Is named Kemosabe.

Veronica Mars!

Hi guys, I know it's been a while. I'm back from the USA, and I'm going to attempt to post more often...although I feel like this is a promise I've made before...

Anyway, in news that is super exciting to me, and possibly no-one else I know, the first footage from the Veronica Mars movie is available online!

The film, which apparently picks up several years after the last season of the cancelled series, was given the green light due to an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign, that helped it secure additional funding and whatever else happens in Hollywood. Looks like all the original cast members are returning, too!

Run Pee - the ap that tells you when in a movie to run for the toilets so you won't miss too much. 

This is one for all my pregnant friends out there - and there are A LOT of you! This website will tell you how popular your chosen name has been since the1880s. Also a bundle of other info.

This will surprise no-one but my name doesn't even have a ranking. It has not ranked on any countries' top 1000 names since The Dawn of Time. 

So it would be a great name if any of your were having girls. Just sayin'.
