RSS Really Sad Statistics. Be judicious in your use of the Feedburner phenomenon.

Did you ever read our review of Wallstreet Fighter? It is a funny site with plenty of eye-catching imagery.

A Web site called Postapoo.com is urging Scots to send plastic poo to the Englishmen they hate on April 23, St. George's Day. We had to comment on this, och aye.

How could anyone be so dumb as to go to a Walgreens to sell a baby? Surely Oilily would have been a better bet!

Sort of like a hug, but without any touching, and it costs $19 (John Gruber selling subscriptions (t-shirt included) to his Daring Fireball blog) (Daily quote.)

What's in a name? When it comes to software, a name often means nothing. Pando, Chirp...

A prominet blogger called Kathy Sierra had death threats made against her. A nasty and not funny business that everyone should blog about.

When the parrot said hello it was no big deal, but when it crowed like a rooster, the crowd took note.

The person who came up with the concept of Beggr is too smart to be begging. He should get a real job!

Watching a fatty snacker on Dr Phil's House of Hatred a few months back was like witnessing a modern day satire of the Rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

Input "Cupertino" into Google maps and a map of Cupertino appears. I tried Santa's grotto and hell and saw some bizarre geo-tagged results.

Mac user v iFags? Never before has someone raised so many hackles with a concept. But Jeff Kee was right to say something & I couldn't resist either!


Bob Woolmer was murdered over a silly game of cricket, or more likely over an illegal betting scam. Great video if you think cricket is a dull English game.

RSS = great for surfers, but crap for bloggers with pretty websites. Some help for non-techies and some sharp observations!

How much is a website is worth? To add to the stupidity, our Technorati rank went down, thanks to John Chow, but we are worth an extra $5000! Great.

northern-oracle-thumb
Daniel Foscarini is indeed the oracle of the north. What a fascinating bloke, eh. And he also does meaningful rather than busy-body volunteer work. He also takes a swipe at poverty, which is fine by me.

bobarama-thumb
Bobbarama is a great soup chef, a whiz at the gas pumps and an all-round funny writer. Highly highly recommended humor blog and zanier than a piss taker.

polliwogs-thumb
Polliwog's Pond is one for the future, literally. Currently one stage beyond an amoeba, and bannerless, but the blog will be worth a look when the kids leave her alone.

curmudge-thumb
The Non-Profit Curmudgeon should get together with the Oracle of the North to compare notes. The quote from a very revealing article on inertia amazed me. What do people expect for free?

blogging-addiction-thumb
ffnstuff has a blogging addiction and isn't afraid to admit to it. I am not scared to admit I normally hate poetry, but, I actually read his ghost after-life poem from beginning to end and enjoyed it. Spooky.

techboggle-thumb
Techboggle will boggle your mind. Nick linked to a great PC-Mac bash jamboree and also proved himself quite the expert with a prediction that it was still too early to celebrate Vista security.

qureyoon-thumb
Qureyoon dabbles in lots of blogging, like here at Random Good Stuff For when you are bored - Random Posts on Gadgets, Cool Links, Weird Auctions, Gift Ideas and stuff.

wmdtalk-thumb
Trae launched WMD Talk a while back. It's a forum to jabber about all things SEO and internet. He has an eye-catching message on his MyBlogLog page!


zackie-thumb
Zackie could have been a rock star, a bullfighter, or a soccer player Hell, even being a superhero wasn't beyond him. Dessins trés cools, Zackie is the most impressive thing to come out of France in years.

digital-it-thumb
Atul Dogra offers a unique insight on tech in India. Imagine, 6D cinema, 3D plus smell touch and ...? Read to find the answer. And he put me on to the mutli language translator too. Can I say, cool beans, mate!

So you want to know how much your website is worth? There are discrepancies, depending where you look.

Work out the micro expressions of the people featured in the test over at cio. Could you become a sharp interviewer, or CSI detective!

Ed the Editor's personal blog corner



The Germans are renowned for their efficiency. And construction workers are always good for a story. If it isn't some drunk brick layer falling into a cement mixer and dying tragically, it is a painter painting himself into the corner of a warehouse floor, or a paperhanger choosing to stick the wrong side of the wallpaper to the wall. I know these people, they are a hoot.

However, the funniest construction story in Germany involved a German architect, commissioned to design a few hundred homes - somewhere in Germany, no less. The plans looked great, the builders were all lined up, the money was made available, the earth movers rolled in, foundations went down, walls and roofs went up...

When it came to putting in the floors, though, the builders realised something was horribly wrong. None of the 2-story homes had been allocated any stairs. It was a great day for every builder on that site. Normally the brunt of annoying requests from architects, every construction worker on the whole site fell laughing off their chair, ladder and scaffold and retired early to the local bars to chat about a monumental cock-up that still takes some beating, years later.

Although, did you hear about the German Government building that was built too close to the river and when it flooded, the whole building, including a multi story car park full of Beamers and Mercs, floated, tilted and then came to rest at a horrible angle!! Don't you just love it when civil engineer know-it-alls get something as basic as that wrong!
