Created this meme where you cross The Thing movie with Mariah Carey
Three panel meme based on the movie The Thing. First panel: A man called Mac, he points his shotgun upwards. He's in a freezing room. Mac asks openly "What the heck happened here?" Second Panel: Mac stands above an ice block which had been hacked open. There's nothing in the ice block. Third panel, a group of people are breaking apart the ice block. There is a woman inside the ice block. She's wearing a red dress. The caption reads "Days earlier. Mariah Carey being defrosted for Christmas"

I've created a new Javascript game and it's hosted on my GitHub Pages. It's called "Mahjong Roman".

You have to pair up a Roman number with their numeric counterpart.

#photography Recently, I've started taking photos in RAW format. I didn't realise how useful RAW format would be for me in recovering photos that appears washed out or too dark to see.

I took those 4 photos in Glasgow.
Photo of street. It looks down the street. On both sides of photo are tall buildings. On left, the building has scaffolding with green mesh. On right, a different building shows smooth and reflective glass. At bottom, there's a woman crossing the street. Her light brown hair is being by the wind. At middle of picture, there's a covered bridge connecting two buildings further down the street, At top, there's a horizon. In distance, there are building in various shapes and sizes. The sky is almost bright Photo of bridge. At top, the spire of University of Glasgow towers aboves the trees. There are are several trees with a variety of green colours. At middle of photo, there's a bridge standing over the River Kelvin. The bridge is coloured sand stone, which is a light brown and beige colour. At bottom, the river is dark and some highlights shows the wave patterns Photo of shoes hanging on overhead wires. In middle, two separate pairs of shoes or trainers are hanging on overhead wires by their shoelaces. There's not much detail on those shoes. The overhead wires contrasts clearly against the dull sky. At bottom left, a tree stands tall. On right, a sandstone coloured building can be seen Photo of side street. It's a narrow street. In middle of photo, two people walking towards to the horizon. On left and right hand side of photos, the buildings are light coloured. Double yellow lines are on the street. A yellow car peeks out of a car park. Against the bright and almost cloudy skyline, a construction tower crane is operating.

Around 8 years ago, The Martian movie was released. I got a bag of potatoes where there was a promotion for the movie. Quite cute and surreal!

Potatoes are of the movie storyline. Picture shows The Martian promotion on packaging.
Packaging for Albert Barret rooster potatoes. There is a label on right hand side promoting The Martian movie. The promotion is to win a family space adventure.
