The Class 43. By Geof Sheppard – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, Few classes of train have captured the British imagination quite like the Class 43. Designed and built at a time when British railways…

As a young ‘kat, I remember eagerly anticipating the release of Star Fox. I had read of it in gaming magazines, and the pending SNES release was top of my wish list. The game was the first to…

If you asked this meerkat to define gaming perfection, I would show you a picture from A Link to the Past. Whilst my top 10 games is often shifting, A Link to the Past remains firmly cemented to th…

I did contemplate titling this post with a different term, but since I broadly seek to keep Meerkat Musings 12A/PG-13 (with a few notable exceptions!), I can't really do that! I am once again drawing wisdom and inspiration from the eloquent Rawen Wolf, who has written about one of the most basic economic principles of all time, supply & demand, and specifically how this relates to people seeking attention.

Part of my retail experience has been the tedium and misery of conference calls. In this meerkat's view, conference calls are a waste of everyone's time. The information that we're expected to run through with regional managers is already available to them, so why would we be going through it all, and in a semi-public method that can put you on the spot?

All the screenshots on these pages are from my Nintendo Switch editions of these games, unless otherwise stated. When I was a cub, there was a Christmas that forever altered my entertainment patter…

I make no secret of my use of AI art. I know some people rather despise this practice, and I understand why they feel that way. I use it as a means of expression, and I do so because I cannot draw …

I love reading. Books are vessels that can inform, enlighten, delight, confuse and embolden. Reading is a beautiful gift, and words can form powerful, lasting memories. A good story can catapult us…

This is where I will be at my most… let’s say chaotic. On the previous iteration of Meerkat Musings I ran my Random Prompts series, and some of those prompts will form blog posts right …

I have a lot of opinions across a range of subjects. Sometimes those subjects could be deemed frivolous, but on other occasions they are unquestionably serious. Here you will see where this meerkat…

There's a Meerkat in all of us

Depending on where you are in the world, there is a famous constellation in the night sky, known as Orion. This beautiful celestial arrangement of stars has been an important navigational aid to ancient travellers, and studies of the stars have taken place for hundreds of years. There are a number of stars that can be considered to be famous within this constellation.

Ahoy there my friends, it's the return of the Meerkat Muse! A Medley of Missed Calls If they don't leave a message, I won't be calling them back. It seems that I have been on the receiving end of a lot more junk calls of late. Some are from random mobile numbers, which makes them hard to trace. Others are from London, Manchester and Liverpool, among other places, and they are invariably tied to some sort of scam.
