Super Bowl LX

Super Bowl LX had it all — tension, twists, questionable calls, and one moment that made me spill my popcorn 🍿🏈. If you think you know how it unfolded… think again.

Click in, step into the stadium with me, and relive the drama. You might even hear JJ shouting “TOUCHDOWN!!!” again.

HP printers (not the sauce)


My 10-year-old HP printer died, so I bought a replacement for cheap. Setup took five minutes. It works perfectly. There’s just one problem: the replacement ink costs exactly the same as the entire printer. Welcome to printer economics, where the machines are practically free and the ink costs more than saffron.

Click-in and witness my descent into madness as I realise HP’s business model is basically legal extortion with a USB cable attached.

The week that was 05/2026


One cancelled trip, one heroic rebooking, a whisky-assisted quiz night, and a Gran Turismo performance best described as “career-limiting”. Add an attic, a bruised ego, and a deeply comforting choucroute, and you have Week 05 in all its chaotic glory. Click through for a gently unhinged recap that proves even quiet weeks can derail spectacularly — usually at high speed and with witnesses.
