Stuart Review: "Spoiler: We're as Confused as You Are"
Please forgive my lateness for this review. I've been late with a few of them due to the sports happenings as of late; not only the MLB Pennant Races, but also NFL Opening Week, which has come and gone. The first season of this awesome show is very close to the finish line, and I promise, when it comes to the last two episodes of the season, I will make sure I get those reviews out quickly. This will be especially true regarding the season finale.

'Hammett' (1982): The Zoetrope Dream That Became a Hollywood Nightmare
There is something wonderfully appropriate about a movie concerning Dashiell Hammett becoming a mystery itself. Who was the real Hammett? Where did the stories end and the legend begin? And what, exactly, happened to the movie that Wim Wenders spent years trying to make?

Did You Ever Hear...?
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? How about the Tale of the Three Brothers? Perhaps the myth of Te Fiti rings a bell? Or maybe you have heard the song of Beren and Lúthien sung into the night sky? Chances are, you have heard at least one of them. What is certain, however, is that you have never heard it alone. Even when by yourself, you have always heard these stories in the company of the characters they were being told to — the same characters, whose own myths you were watching unfold. And thus, the line between fiction, reality, myth and history begins to blur.

Book Review: "Outrageous" by Paul Baker
Paul Baker's book was one that I found on the second-hand shelf of the Queer Lit bookshop in Ancoats, Manchester. Anytime I have a little bit of time I tend to saunter over there and have a coffee, read a book and hang around. It's, in my opinion, the safest place in the city with some great people. I always feel my shoulders relax and my jaw unclench when I go in. Paul Baker's book deals with the legislation called Section 28 that came into Britain during the Thatcher regime. It stated that homosexuality and anything to do with the LGBT movement should be left altogether out of education. Honestly, not only is this a horrific legislation for the present of the 1980s, it also makes history inaccurate seeing as there was so many important LGBT people throughout the course of human history.

I Built a Spectrum Analyzer in the Browser and Then Kept Adding Things I Actually Needed
I did not start onlinespectrumanalyzer.com with a detailed product plan. The original idea was much smaller. I had been looking at spectrum analyzer tools and thought the browser should already be capable of doing most of this work locally. I had worked with media-related software before, so the idea of decoding audio, calculating frequency data and drawing it in real time felt like a good small project to try.
