I realise that I’m fairly cynical, but at the same time, it is a fact that 99.9% of things you do on the internet are geared towards making money. Making money for someone else! You don’t have to buy something or run up your credit card bill in order to generate revenue for someone else. [...]

Do you ever sit at home twiddling your thumbs wondering what to do next? No? Me neither. I’m sure some people out there do though… and I bet they are the sort of people that think building an automated toliet paper dispenser out of Lego is a great way to pass the time. Check out [...]

You’ve purchased the biggest, most masculine automobile you can afford. Unfortunately, you still feel like a big ‘girly man’, afraid to step up at the urinal if someone else is already watering the horses. Bumper Nuts offer the solution for the grown man who is trying to over compensate for being small in the trouser [...]

The flood gates have opened, the beast has awoken, the penny has dropped, insert whatever you like here. The point is, it seems Digg has finally done the right thing and ‘unbanned’ a whole bunch of domains (including swollenpickles.com) that it had previously black listed. This is good news, but a key question remains unanswered, [...]

Just got lucky and picked up tickets to see Nine Inch Nails on the Australian Tour in May. Playing smaller venues this time around, as aposed to the 10,000+ sized venues of the last tour, so the ticket buying process was tense. Now I just need to wait until May so that NIN can rock [...]

“As we go to air tonight this 84-year-old grandmother remains locked up in her nursing home room chained to a cupboard.” As an opening to a ‘current affairs’ story, that is one sensational attention grabber! Anna Coren, host of Channel Seven’s current affairs program ‘Today Tonight’, proves that she has slipped comfortably into the role [...]

Just did a weird online test that told me that I can apparently drink 427.41 cans of Coke Zero before croaking. Remarkable. I’m not sure what would kill me first, the caffeine, my exploding bladder, or the extreme buildup of natural gases. Science is a wonderful thing. I thought I should share that.

Following my banning from Digg, I decided to do a little ‘digging’ of my own, and in the process I’ve stumbled across some interesting information. Here’s an interesting “how to” comment posted on a blog post titled “How to be a dirty digger”. Clearly illustrated how someone could get you banned from Digg. You could [...]
