The Diary of a Reluctant Traveler T -1 (or -2)
I don’t want to go. Tomorrow, or possibly the day after, I’m due for a holiday. A break where I get away form it all. All, except me, of course. See, the thing is, over the last 2 years, I’ve been slowly getting sadder, and I’ve not really had time to deal with it. I’ve…

Modern Poetry Idea
Recently I attended a beat-poetry evening, called Voicebox run by Un-deg-Un. There I had the pleasure of meeting the youth poet for Wales. I was not brave enough to share any of my work, beliving them to be unpolished, and unfinished. They were definately too short. However, it has occured to me that I write…

Survival Craft : Tips and Tricks
What Is Survival Craft? To say that Survival Craft is a Minecraft clone is close, but not entirely accurate. Klauus, the creator, felt that Minecraft wasn’t simply deadly enough. Survival Craft, then, is a game that looks, and in some way feels, like Minecraft (but with better graphics), and allows you to do some of…
