What Jobs Can Minions Do Better Than Machines and Computers?
With 40% of current jobs to disappear in the next 15yrs, what will be left for our spawnlings?
Pokemon: 20 Years of Taking My Money
For 20 years, Pokemon has been taking my money. 20 YEARS!! Holy crispy Charmander! The calculations are sound: My younger brothers were in the first wave of fans; the Spawnlings are in the current wave. And with the latest money-sucker game now available on my iPhone (Pokemon Go)… well, that’s a […]
Forensic Friday: Our Dinosaur Project
It seems ‘world creating’ has become a thing in the EG Lair. It all started with Sinister building his own terrarium for a school project last term (which he scored 93%… Such a good little evil genius…) – 3 months later and it is still going strong, without any further […]
Improv is Resilient
We all want the best for our kids. To be happy; To be smart; To be healthy; To be educated. The latest buzzword in parenting is “resilient”: we all want our kids to survive. Because in life, when you get knocked down, you need to get up again – swinging. […]
Art of The Brick: DC
There are only a handful of themes which truly stand the test of time. The kind of things shared between generations; dancing across language barriers; appreciated by any child, anywhere, anytime.

Everyone has a point to make these days. And either you are for or against. But what happens when you are somewhere ‘in-between’?

Sinister’s school class had an excursion yesterday. All the way over to the Sydney Writer’s Festival. His teacher was rather considerate and even gave us a list of writers appearing on the day, including Liz Pichon. For those minions who do not have pre-teen spawnlings reading and doodling all over […]
FCBD 2016 Re-Cap
I Survived FCBD 2016. Not sure how, but we did. For those playing at home, EG Inc cosplayed with a Doctor Who theme: 9th Doctor; 11th Doctor; River Song; Osgood; and of course, the TARDIS. The Dalek is a bonus, given to us by family a few years back. Yes, […]
International Tabletop Day 2016
I like it when ‘big dates’ fall on the weekends – means less time explaining to disinterested teachers and more time focused on another level of education for the Spawnlings. Seriously, who can’t see the benefits of Tabletop? 30 April is now THE day for some gameplay. So bring out […]
One Fridge At A Time
EG the Great (my super capable grandfather) turns 80 today. My gift to him was fixing my leaky fridge – and he couldn’t be prouder.
