It just means you’re old, man.

I know, I know... *sigh* – but you don't have to say that with so much relish! Anyway, it's their loss!

Seriously!? Am I to feel happy that I am part of the club that happily gets the reference to the amazing show or sad that it’s not universally known?

A really interesting episode of Media Take. I know of a couple of teachers who will be using it.
I know that it places me at odds with the greater mass of population but I do hate selfie-sticks. When we were travelling about in Europe over summer, there were times…

I really wish I had a v log and an audience when I was an adolescent but I'm really glad I didn't.

I don't get it (yet), quite possible aren't supposed to, but damn it's still awesome seeing the younglings doing their thing and, as far as I can tell, doing it well. If I ever turn into You Kids Are Doing It All Wrong Guy, someone just take me out behind…
