A Reassessment of Writer's Block
A Reassessment of Writer's Block
Document open, the unassuming writer sits down. Ideas swim in their head, ready to materialise into prose. They lay their fingers upon the keyboard, yet they hesitate. How are you supposed to start writing? What is that hyper-specific word again? That syntax doesn’t feel right, does it? The ideas do not dissipate, but instead refuse to cooperate with the writer. The link between mind and page has been frayed, severed, and completely torn asunder. Frustration and anger ensue. The esteemed writer
Colour: The Language of Crisps
Colour: The Language of Crisps
Cheese and Onion: Blue or Green?Take a quick meander through any supermarket or corner shop, and you’re bound to encounter the crisp aisle. Rows upon rows of packets all compete for the shopper’s attention, and nothing is as effective at grabbing attention than colour. The crisp aisle is perhaps more aptly described as a polychromatic utopia for the junk food aficionado — from scarlet to maroon, aqua to ultramarine, emerald to dark green, you can find almost any colour of crisp packet. Of course

"I Could (Not) Do That"
"I Could (Not) Do That"
In support of contemporary artPeople love to get angry. People love to scream, shout, and swear. There is nothing that galvanises us into sharing our opinions as effectively as hate and vitriol. And, if anything inspires hatred, it is perceived corruption of something pure. Art is no exception. Talk to people, especially those conservative in tastes, and you’ll likely find their favourite artists and artworks are several decades old — the timeless classics of Da Vinci, Van Gogh, or Rembrandt. Wh
William Morris' Floral Revolution
William Morris' Floral Revolution
Great artists are often thought of as revolutionary. They establish new (or revive old) styles, techniques, or genres. Some may be revolutionary in the political sense, challenging the status quo. Others even transcend history and their work remains firmly embedded in the canon of art rather than withering away into obscurity. The best embodiment of these qualities is perhaps the Victorian polymath William Morris. Undoubtedly one of the few who are revolutionary in all of these ways, his brillia

The (Nuclear) Winter Origin of NORAD Tracks Santa
Growing up, there was nothing quite as exciting as watching the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Santa tracker on Christmas Eve. As the clock ticked on and Christmas got nearer, the present tracker rapidly increased, and Santa slowly but surely made his way across the globe towards the UK. Perhaps watching the NORAD tracker was an excuse to stay up late, some sort of justification for the frivolity of a child attempting to catch a glimpse of Santa coming down the chimney. Inevita
Emojis: Technological Pictograms
Emojis: Technological Pictograms
On 29 October, the finalists for the 2024 Unicode emoji proposals were revealed. Some of the finalists were things that, frankly, I could swear we already had, such as a trombone or an orca. But one of the submissions was oddly specific — an “inflatable face” emoji, something that appears as if it were one small pin away from bursting. In fact, there is seemingly an emoji for everything (at least everything more common than inflatable faces). However, that wasn’t always the case.Predating the Un
