If you caught my recent attempt to wax lyrical on the subject of causememes, and the new age of digital caring, it’s possible that you may have detected a small amount of cynicism in my stance on the subject. You may even have developed the impression that I’m one of those generally negative people who [...]

The rise and fall of Comrade Mario
July 5, 2009 – 11:39 am
It’s entirely possible I might become addicted to StumbleUpon if it continues to deliver gems like this.
If the Soviet propaganda machine had turned it’s thoughts to such frivolities as creating arcade games they would probably have come out looking this:
This really requires no further explanation, just click on the image and watch this stylish little [...]
Celebrity Deathmatch
June 29, 2009 – 12:40 am
Let me just come right out and say this. I love celebrities. Singers, dancers, actors, talk show hosts, football players – whatever it is that makes them famous. I just think its awesome that there are people with such special talents that they are able to entertain those of us from more mundane genetic stock
What’s [...]
Censor is bad Iranochina – stop now or the Internet will get you
June 17, 2009 – 11:56 pm
Do you sometimes feel an emptiness in your life, that even your FriendFeed can’t seem to fill?
You add the friends to your wall every day, send hand-picked e-gifts on all the right occasions, take up the latest quiz challenges from your friends and LOL along with the group when everyone comes out as Yoda.
But you [...]

I will be taking the plunge to Wordpress 2.8 this weekend and tweaking the layout of the site a little as I’m still not entirely happy with the sidebar and general navigation functionality.
Watch this space…
Manz found dead on Intertubes
June 10, 2009 – 1:43 am
Friends of popular Intertubes user Ron_K45 are fearing the worst after this picture of him appeared on twitpic today. Ron_K was a private user who kept to himself and never gave out his Facebook, or email. Ron kept up to date with numerous followers on Twitter and was also a lolcatz enthusiast. He was well [...]

Along with Star Wars Episodes 1 – 3 and Spiderman 3, ‘The Weeping’ I must now also consign to the list of ‘things I thought would be a lot cooler until I actually saw them’, controller-less gaming devices.
I’m talking of course about Microsoft Natal, the new 3d camera interface for the Xbox 360 that has [...]
Big Brother’s Budget Blues
May 28, 2009 – 11:41 pm
I recently completed a Facebook quiz to find out which deity I would be and it turns out I’d make a great Allah. I don’t like to waste my potential so I signed up for the first available spot on a job shadowing program – you wouldn’t believe this guy’s workload.
In the morning we had [...]
Wordpress = Sorted
May 26, 2009 – 1:02 am
After several days of wrangling I’m proud to announce that Wordpress is now officially my bitch. The new look was built from the ground up using the Sandbox theme and pure CSS and is not completely unsexy if I don’t mind me saying so.
Still a few minor tweaks to be done – comments are not [...]
Eurovision fairytale leaves Russian fairies out in the cold.
May 18, 2009 – 10:39 pm
I’m sure I could be forgiven for coining the phrase, as gay as a Eurovision song contest.
The heavily sequined show is the birthplace of European pop cheese and has a traditional following in the gay community, with the inclusion of Graham Norton as this year’s British commentator firmly securing it’s status as a high point [...]
