Hello, Army of Clippys. (Clippies?)

If a single clippy is Clippy, is it two Clippys or two Clippies?

Also, I have now found that every member of my family loves cat grooming videos. And now Ursa Minor really wants a foam cannon for our pressure washer.

Saturday 10th January 2026: 1610 GMT livestream!

Happy New Year! Ursa Minor is at a birthday party on Saturday afternoon, so I am setting the start time for this month's stream a little bit later in case I get caught in traffic on the way back. Feel free to turn up at the regular time and tell terrible jokes in the chat :)

See you soon!

Happy Holidays!

Fun fact: we don't really say 'Happy Holidays' in the UK very much, it's a very American thing. Nonetheless, I feel like it's appropriate, since there's still a whole week till Christmas!

The school holidays are almost upon us, and so I have scheduled the remaining Just Space Me Now videos for YouTube (and the 1200 Days of No Sponsors vide...

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road? It's Actually Kind of Dark.

Those of you who have been here a very, very long time (the original video was from 2018, TWENTY EIGHTEEN! TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN!) may find this video familiar, but it's the perfect kind of nonsense that YouTube shorts loves, so I thought it deserved a remake :)

YouTube, is this Even Legal?

Please enjoy my Happy New Year video, as on 1st January 2026 it will have been 1200 days since my last corporate sponsorship on a video.

Also I was not expecting a genuinely good YouTube feature, what's up with that.

Star Trek to Star Wars: Fanfiction History 1960-1999

I finally, finally dug this partially edited video out of Final Cut and got it finished, (pats self on head) good job me!

How Harry Potter Killed Romance Con

Welcome to twenty-seven and a half minutes of Absolute Cancel Carnage, and the story that I was glued to over the summer. What happened to Romance Con? What about EnchantiCon? Who was going to be the next subject of a Two Minute Hate on Threads? What even IS Threads?

I hope you enjoy the video!

I May Have Had Too Much Fun Making These Thumbnails

Given that people seem to be really enjoying my random tangent videos, next week I will be putting up a twenty-eight(!) minute video on the absolute debacle that was Romance Con and EnchantiCon. Working title is something like: Romance Con is Dead (and Dramione/Harry Potter killed it)

Please enjoy these thumbnails. YouTube allows A/B testi...

Just Space Me Now: Complete Season 1

Had some time today, put together the compilation, realised it is already longer than the original Fantasy Heroine 50-episode series, laughed in a slightly hysterical fashion.

AHAHAHA. HA. Yeah. Anyway, what happens now? I don't really know, I have about eighteen nebulous ideas which don't make a lot of sense, so I'm setting them in the ba...

We'll be back on YouTube this time because Patreon is still working the bugs out and it's nice to be able to replay the live chat if you can't make it to the event, right? If you want to leave a comment but don't have a youtube account, drop it below and I'll read it before we start :)

Sadly this means we don't get the fun countdown thing...

Membership FOMO (Oh, YouTube...)

YouTube is trying to sell everyone memberships. And being YouTube they are, naturally, doing it in the Most Annoying Way Possible :)

Just Space Me Now ep 13: Maybe He Really *Is* A Mathematician...

I finally figured out what happened next. Huzzah for me. Expect maybe 1-3 more episodes in this season, and then I'll take a break to do other things for a bit (and also to figure out what happens in Season 2)

Romance (Con) is Dead...

And Harry Potter killed it.

This is the random drama that kept me on the edge of my seat for the entirety of the summer. And then I made two thirds of a video about it, thought: this is so daft, who else would even be interested in this? Oh well, maybe it can be a Patron video.

And then finished it today because...well, I like it whe...

Just Space Me Now Ep 12: CALI, NO! (CALI: Yes.)

Thank you for your bug fixes on episode 11, the front was indeed cut off! I have also transplanted the end of 11 into the front of 12 instead, as it did indeed cut off a touch abruptly.

I had a great time on Unsplash looking for backgrounds for this episode XD

Just Space Me Now (v2) episodes 1-10

Well, at least I'm now up to date on episodes 1-10. Currently filming for and editing episodes 11 and 12, maybe part of 13, but we'll see how it goes. Sometimes that three minute limit comes back to bite me!

He needs a new name.

It has occurred to me as I have continued to write the shorts, that I need to rename Eddie. He has decided to become a more major character, thanks dude, and I don’t think I can cope with Ted and Eddie running around the place together, they need less similar names!

I think I know what I’m choosing, but feel free to leave a suggestion ...

COMPILATION: Just Space Me Now Episodes 1-10

Possibly relevant life information: my Internet (theoretically full fibre broadband, thank you very much) is currently...not having a great time, and neither I nor my ISP have been able to work out why.

Hello friends! My next few days are entirely taken up with MEETINGS, oh the excitement, and the it is school holidays, so I will not be around very much until the start of November.
